Summer Wrap-Up

What I've been up too.....
(New use for a bag wagon!!)
Probably one of the bigger accomplishments was moving our shed in the back yard. The prior owner had it nicely snugged up against our house blocking the view from my kitchen sink . Kent is very good at figuring out ways to do things himself and once again he conquered this not so small task! With the help of round fence posts, me, and a few extra hands along the way we pushed and pulled that shed across the yard, turned it around placing it in another corner of the yard.
Kent and I moved it across the walk.
Tadda! Now for some flowers!
I'm also putting in a VERY small garden just for some fresh veggies. I enjoy watching things grow and produce their fruits. For some reason this excites me as long as I don't have to do it on a larger scale! The trick will be in keeping the rabbits out!! So I'm anxiously awaiting the warmer weather to get those little seeds in their places.
Natalie started softball so we are getting used to running to practises and soon games. She really enjoys it and is doing quite well for it being her first experience with a sport.
All in all life has been good and pretty normal. I've much to be thankful for. It's been a year now since we moved from Colorado. The past year was sure a roller coaster but it seems that we have finally settled into our lives here and it's been good!
I just love the smell of Lilac's
Here are a few things that I'm looking forward to.
- planting my garden and flowerbeds
- the end of the school year (no more school projects to help with)!
- a week at the beach this summer
- warmer weather!!
- seeing what Kent has up his sleeve for my birthday/anniverary/mother's day!

Natalie's Piano Recital
It's been a desire of Natalie's over the past several years to be able to take piano lessons. Since moving back to PA last year it was our hope that some how we could either find a cheap piano or even a free one. I told Natalie to keep praying for one and God blessed us with a free piano several months ago!! She has been taking lessons the past 3 months and is doing quite well. Her first recital was last week. It's been a blessing to me to see one of her hopes become a reality. Enjoy watching!

Another room down
Once we had those steps finished it went faster. This was also the first remodeling project that we installed the carpet ourselves. I must say that hubs and a friend did a very nice job! Just don't look to closely! Ha Ha!

Back to Normal?
(Now a dishwasher is something that I know I will have NO problem embracing!!!)

It's Christmas


We were sitting around reading one evening and this was how Hannah decided to be apart and also get some attention.

Last week Katie made a Gingerbread house in school. She was very proud of it. Today she asked if she can start to eat it.

We hope each of you have a wonderful Christmas week. Enjoy the times spent with family, laughter, and great food.

Random Things..... hmmmm?

4. I home schooled for 4 years when I basically swore to myself that I would never be a home school mom. Life sure can play tricks on you!!!
5. We have lived in 7 different houses during our 12 years of marriage. I'm VERY ready to have a house that I would be happy to stay in for at least 10-15 years. Yeah, our current home is not it!! But I'm trying to make the most of it.
6. I've never had any cavities.
7. I really want a dishwasher!!!
