At the end of September, D turned 9! What fun we had opening presents and eating pizza at our favorite place here in the area, Dos Rios! He even got his own lemonade which was a highlight. It's delicious.
We also celebrated with a cake from a local bakery with friends. He sure is a happy kid!
Here is the progression of the bookcase in the hallway. As you can see, it's floor to ceiling.
Books are going on! We had a helper or two come out and organize books first and then start loading them in the shelves.
It is still a work in progress, but it is basically full at this time. We had to build another one for the other boxes we still have to unload!!
The kids love their loft/lookout! It is a fun place for them to hang out.
Our favorite stores in David give us free helium balloons and free popcorn. One recent trip, we left with 15 helium balloons in the car! 5 kids, 3 stores!
Small group is always fun. We started meeting at our house on Friday evenings. There was usually a nice view, great fellowship and good food too!
Views kind of like this one... (This is also the view from our porch gym while working out.)
Ben is doing a great work of fixing up the house. This wall in the (future) homeschool room is one example. I LOVE this tile. We area also going to have an accent wall in our bathroom with this. It's lovely.
We hired two new yard workers recently too. They sure do work hard!
Here's the story... Believe me, there was much grumbling to get this picture.
This is what I call enjoying your duro. Duro mustache and unibrow. It doesn't get much better than a Don Joaquin duro. Believe me.
Apparently everyone needed to go on the walk with an animal this day. The cats usually chase us around the circle.
In November, this silly girl turned 6. She sure is a sweetheart! She also started in Year 1 of Ambleside and is doing well! She has decided purple is her favorite color which is mine as well!
We had some friends over for a little bit of cake. I made a chocolate one (which she later told me she doesn't like chocolate cake) and drizzled peanut butter all over it. Elsa candles, of course!
And we painted nails! And had little teacups. Fun and girlie!
We had a really cool yellow bird run into our windows and stun itself. We held it for about 10 minutes before it got better and flew away.
Walks are pretty much a daily thing. It's a great way to burn off some energy and take a look around us to appreciate the great weather and scenery.
