We Read...A lot

While Scott and I were cleaning up from dinner, the kids cuddled up and started reading books to each other. It was a very precious moment that I just had to share.




Current Favorite Song

One night, Jenna and I were out for a walk. She saw a jet in the sky and pointed it out. So I started singing "Leaving on a Jet Plane" though I only knew part of the chorus.

A couple of days later, I decided to download the song. Jenna was immediately hooked. It is now her favorite song. The first video was taken only 24 hours after downloading the song. The second video gave her about a week to practice.

Fishy or Shark?

Chores at Grandpa's

There are always plenty of things to be done at Grandpa's. Thankfully, there are always plenty of willing little hands. And we always manage to find time to play along the way.

Pumpkin Farm - Take 3

Jacob and I had the opportunity to visit Bloomsbury Farms again. This time with his Preschool class. It was cold but didn't seem to slow the kids down.

Apple Orchard

Who needs an apple orchard when you have Grandpa John's?

Bart's Farm

Another annual tradition in the Fall is to visit Bart's Farm (only about 5 minutes from our house). Bart's has pony rides, farm animals in a rustic barn, and the ability to pick your own pumpkins. And of course, plenty of photo opportunities.
