First day of football had free face painting - when asked what he is going to be when he grows up Jonathan will say "a cheetah!" Ah, his dreams came true... and at such an early age too! |
Well, the school season has resumed here, so activities are back in full swing; and so are we. We schooled all through, but didn't have a whole lot else we could do because the horses were on summer break, kids club was on summer break... basically everything shuts down here over the summer holidays.
Even Maileigh and Jonboy have 'school.' |
We spent a lot of that time at the pool, but not doing a whole lot else. Now though... we've just finished up football (not what your thinking... remember here football means soccer).
I was granted the opportunity to be the official photographer for the soccer teams . Yes, I've reopened my photography business - but only part time. |
Pastor Allan puts on these lessons for free. He is a wonderful person, and a fantastic instructor... in the horse field and gospel field. |
I won't load up the picture but I received a pretty nasty bruise from busting a vein when I was learning to ride (canter) without using any stirrups... you want an inner-thigh workout? Try that one! Not to mention you will feel it all over simply because you are trying so hard to stay sitting up and back, while trying to keep your legs secure so you don't bounce off to the side. I am sure I was quite a sight!!

Please accept this belated Valentine on behalf of everyone! Jonathan is making the 'I Love You' sign in sign language. |
The kids decorating cookies for Valentines Day. |
It was sure a great weekend. The weather was beautiful and the few days we spent there were wonderful.
Making and chasing bubbles. |
The kids tried out scouts, played games and just had a great time hanging out with their friends that used to homeschool with us, but no longer do. Friends are very far and hard to find around here...
so we do what we can to keep up with the couple we do have.
Now that soccer/football is over, the boys have begun dance. Jonathan is in 'kindy gym,' which is gymnastics for little ones; Zedikiah and Alexander have begun jr. hip-hop dance. They have only been once, but I am sure they will enjoy it as time goes on.
Jonathan is all about the outfits for dance! Just joking We only let him wear this around the house. This was mine when I was little. Ah to see your children wear the clothes you grew up wearing.... |
Jonboy's first day of kindy gym. |
I know it seems like a LONG time since I last posted anything, an in truth it has been several weeks (or so); and I am sorry for that. I will try to be more diligent about updating and posting pictures. We miss our family and friends a lot. Know that we think of you often.
Introducing the beautiful Miss Maileigh! |
Well, the house isn't going to vacuum itself. Until next time every body!
