August

Life is going well. We are settling in bit by bit and it feels nice. Today we are going to begin painting and working on projects on the house. It is exciting to begin putting our style on our home. The present colors and styles seem to be at least 6 years old. Hmmm. Time for a change!  Now that we have a camera I have a whole batch of pictures of the boys again. They keep me busy and amused:) 
One more recent adventure. Aunt Earon found a monarch caterpillar for Ethan. We put it in a mason jar and it is now in its cocoon. He is watching for it to become a butterfly. It is a pretty fun science project, just as long as it is not sitting on the kitchen counter. I just couldn't cook with a caterpillar on the counter!!

Mischief 101




Ethan was feeding "candy" (wood blocks) to Hans. He likes to pretend he is in the parade throwing candy to people who are watching. We discourage the actual throwing:)

mud eater!!


Whenever Hans gets out in the porch he heads straight for this plant and starts eating dirt, and does not stop until we catch him! He seems to like it! We find his mouth full of mud. YECK!!

hey kendie, good to see pics of the boys.. i love the one of Hans hanging on the piano while jeremiah plays. well, i was out in this old row boat the other day and not having much success getting anywhere (mostly circling) and i was trying to think of what friend i could recruit to come boating with me that would be a competent oar wielder, and i must admit that you were my first choice.... all my other friends are too citified but alas you are too far, so i am dommed to row in circles.... i hope i'll get the hang of it eventually... love ya
