Love it!

This is one of my favorite photos of 2014.  My, oh my, raising boys is more fun than I ever could have imagined! 

Fall photos

I love fall!  I love the cooler weather and the crunchy leaves and the beautiful colors.  I love harvest time and wearing cozy sweaters and making soups and stews.  I love the fall holidays and the time together with family.  I love fall!

Here are some photos I have taken of Daniel and Logan at fall time each year.  There must be something about a pumpkin that makes me want to prop my kids against it and snap away with my camera!  I love watching how my boys grow over the course of these pictures.

Merry Christmas!

Here are the boys in their Christmas church clothes...

And here they are in their matching Christmas pajamas...

How can Christmas get any better than this!  Love these two little guys so much. 

Logan playing outside

Logan loves being outdoors...but he wants to be free to go where he wants.  No carrying him, no sticking him in a swing, no containment of any kind please.  This child wants to roam about on his own two feet! So today I just followed him around the yard without any agenda of my own.  I only stopped him from eating flowers, grass, dirt, etc.  Well, I mostly stopped him from eating those things.  Check out the last photo and see why I say mostly. 

 Logan loves to pick a marigold every time he walks by this pot! 

Going under the Rose of Sharon

 He so badly wants to climb up here like Daniel does! 

 Smelling the geraniums (and maybe tasting them too!)

Whoops!  Here is where Mommy failed to stop him in time! 

First Day of Kindergarten!

Let the fun begin!  Daniel is starting kindergarten!!!  After much prayer and consideration, we have decided to homeschool, and we could not be more excited.  Here is a photo of Daniel on his first day of school.

And here is a photo of Daniel with his teacher on the first day of school.  I heard she is really good, teehee!   

And mainly for my future reference, here is the list of our curriculum we will be doing this year.

• Bible, History, Geography, Science, Language Arts, and Read Alouds from the Sonlight A curriculum. 
• Handwriting without Tears K
• Horizons Math K
• Extracurricular activities include Friends and Family night at the Baptist church, Library time for K-2nd graders, and Gymnastics lessons with his good friend Landon.  

Daniel is super excited about the read aloud books we have on our schedule and about doing science experiments with his Daddy.  I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for us this year.  Let the adventure begin! 

Mama's Jewelry

Did you know that even macho little boys like to play with their mama's jewelry?  They do!  Or in Logan's case, they like to eat it! 

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters!!!
