We are busy this fall! The kids are doing great in school and have adjusted well to 2nd and 1st grade. Maddie enjoys "mountain language arts" and Steitler enjoys "music and recess." They started Awanas in September and are doing a great job memorizing their verses. Maddie started Girl Scouts -Brownies- last week and is very excited about that adventure.
Posting takes so long here on Blogger so please join Facebook to catch up on us weekly. I will try to link to pictures from here more routinely!
October Fun can be found here. And here.
September can be reviewed here.
Some more from August can be found here.

Weekend News
This is a lovely family photo taken in front of our garden. (Please excuse the fact that Ben and I are squinting.)
The above photo was taken with this handy camera tripod-ish gizmo(below). Given to me by my sister, Em, who is ever thoughful with each and every gift. We used to watch Inspector Gadget (the cartoon) when we were younger but neither the Inspector nor Penny had such a fantastic gadget. The camera was actually hanging upside down when it took our photo. The camera screws in to the black disc on the bottom. I cannot wait to find fun places to use my new go-go gadget! Thanks SO much Em!
Decked out in winter gear for our yard sale - it was pretty chilly!
