Our Week in Pictures

We have officially started our summer break, which will last us only about a month before we start up school again.  We do it this way so that we can take off more days during the school year as we need. 

Elijah has been spending a bit of his time learning about fishing in anticipation of a fishing trip he is planing with his Papa, Mark's dad.  Elijah even started his own wormery, to try and harvest his own worms and make his own bait!

 Emmaline is enjoying her new school supplies that I have purchased.  This alphabet puzzle is her favorite of all the things I bought so far, which bodes well for learning to read!

 The weather has been fluctuating greatly between 60's and 90's, with mostly 90's.  It is so hot that the kids have run in the sprinkler almost every day.

 
Here is our flag.  We fly it every day and are proud to be Americans, even when our country is so messed up right now it's still a great place to live!

We are also participating in the summer reading program at the library.  Elijah has done great at getting all his books read!  He is an avid reader, like me!  Here he is reading a hardy boys comic book.
