Family

This past week, my sister (who I hadn't seen in almost 4 years!) and her family were staying at my Aunt's cottage which is only 1.5 hours from us. We spent one day there with just her and her family, and then went back and spent another day when my parents along with two of my other sisters came down with their families. Sounds like a lot of people, but I was still missing a sister, two brothers and two nephews.

They were both very enjoyable days, but the highlight was definitely meeting my nephew (3yrs) and niece (1yr) for the first time! When I was little we used to spend a few weeks at this particular cottage each summer, so it was a lot of fun to bring the kids there and see them enjoy the same things I used to. Sadie even caught a fish in the fishing pond! Just a small one, which she actually touched to throw back.

9 of the 11 grandsons. The oldest and youngest were missing. Do they look like cousins or what? It was so hard keeping track of who was who!

The Girls. If Bekah would of been here, we would of had all the girls in the family.

Swimming. I spent countless hours swimming in this pool when I was younger. My boys loved it just as much.

13 Years

Today is our 13th anniversary. Good thing we're not superstitious! Although, I guess even if we were the 13th year would actually be over now...

Anyway, I love Jeremiah and I love being married to him. Marrying him was the best decision I ever made.

Second Chance

Last month I bought this hanging flower basket from a young lady in our homeschool group who was raising money for a horse rescue. It lasted two days in our home before it died. I forgot to bring it in one night when there was a frost. I don't really know much about plants so I had no idea if new flowers would grow. I have been watching it closely for the last few weeks, cheering the new little buds on. I even had a dream one night that there was a new flower growing on it. Finally, yesterday morning two flowers appeared!

Track & Field Day

This past Tuesday was Track & Field Day. The boys had a lot of fun competing in various events. I helped with the 50 yard dash, which was fun because when you help run an event you get a chance to see all the kids. I just have to say that I ♥ our homeschool group, but that is a post in itself.

Rain

In the midst of today's downpour, Jonah and Sadie wanted to go play on the deck. At first I said "no", but then I figured what the heck, it's not like they are going to melt or something.
