Tune In Tuesdays #.3

  

 Tune in Tuesday's sounds so quirky doesn't it?

I like strange, geeky things so the title is going to stick around for a while until I can find a better way to describe what goes on around here. 

It's the end of summer and we've already begun home schooling. That's right in our part of the country children return to school the second week of August. I am technically starting late. However we have had plenty of fun out here in the country! 

It's rained a lot here and when we are not snuggling on the couch, making mud pies and bead necklaces we are barbecuing, going for long adventurous hikes throughout the woods,  dressing up,visiting with friends, attending church and enjoying every drop of hot sunshine because we know it won't last forever!!!

 Dagen Asher turned six months! This baby is such a joyful presence in our family. He is always smiling, is smothered in love and has just started to nibble on crusts of home made bread because he is still nursing full time and I don't like to introduce real food until nine or eleven months. Dagen still enjoys a ride on my back as we chase after energetic children and dogs on our walks! As you can see life here is full of nature, moss, mist, sunsets and sun rises with beautiful messages of hidden things left in cobwebs overnight. Our days are quiet with the chirping of birds, glimpses of deer and the faraway sounds of goats and chickens from across the road.

Life is sweet, peaceful and happy as we enjoy these last moments of summer.

 

Welcome Summer!!!

Hello summer 2014!!!

We have waited for you all through a bone chilling, icy, snowy winter.Sometimes we felt as though we were under house arrest thinking we'd never see green grass again. I drank a lot of coffee, my husband consumed a lot of sweets, while the children bounced between illnesses, playdates and their first year of home school Pre-k with constant zest and enthusiastic energy.

It was a good winter full of blessings like the birth of our new one.

And here we are enjoying our first summer in our new land!

We were first treated to a lot of mud!

And a lot of bubbles containing lots of spit!

And mowing our green lawn.

Then we began to go on a lot of evening walks

We have fallen in love with this rolling green country

We've spent a lot of time outdoors playing pirates

And we've had a lot of water play too, even the new one has joined us.

He has taken a while to adjust to all the outside stuff, like grass. He'll usually keep his feet up so they don't touch the ground. Silly baby !

This is an oops picture of me, can't have summertime without shades and a good hair wrap!

Sometimes I feel as though I am reliving childhood through my own babies. My husband constructed a makeshift Native American Indian playhouse. Can I tell you how many hours of imaginative play this has provided for my children? A few long sticks, some string plus an old sheet and voila!!!!

My boys have even napped in here! Talk about good, clean fun!
