Dealing with death....

It was time this weekend to discuss death of a loved one with the children. My Uncle Jim passed away on Friday night from a 9 month battle with Cancer.  He is my father's brother and we were close to him.  This week will be hard but we will all get through it as a family.  This is a picture from my wedding - Uncle Jim and Aunt Dot - praying for her and my cousins.  I will be back at the end of the week sometime with some school fun stuff -but for now, we will be pulling the hugs in tight.   Hope your week is special in someway and don't let the minutes, days or weeks slip you by Be Blessed!

Collage Friday

Another week has passed and that means Friday has come!   Linking up again with Mary over at Homegrown Learners for Collage Friday! Lots of outdoor time this week - the weather was PERFECT for hiking and exploring!  Apples and leaves were at the top of our list also!  Not pictured here but we also studied the story of Noah.  A few of the 20 books we read this week!  Seems the children are in their "read read read" stage!  Wish they were like that all the time!  lol..... Today is our Moosetache Back to School Bash - with a few other homeschooling families. The theme of the party is the book Moosetache!  Looking forward to it!   Enjoy your weekend my friends and - be Blessed!

God's Gift to Fall....

It was a glorious day that the Lord made today - the sun was beating down on us, the air had a crispness to it and the girls and I decided to take a hike in our woods. Finding all sorts of fun and exciting things!   The girls took a lot of these pictures! One of the few Acorns still whole as the animals have been grabbing them as fast as they have been falling off the tree! I just love how the light hit this little guy - his stem looks transparent.  Butternut - Molly thought this looked like a cracked Dino egg. lol Something out of Harry Potter I do believe 8) Picture looking up one of our Quad trails....little muddy but we were prepared with our Wellies on! The yard is transforming This beautiful specimen of bark was abandoned by whatever bugs had once called it home.  They love to walk in the woods.... I loved the texture of this! A few roses left on the bush....soon this too will be gone....making way for new buds next Spring! Hope you got out to enjoy some of God's beauty! Unti
