Thankful

 This year for Thanksgiving we invited some friends from Jujitsu and a friend from church. I always get a little nervous before we have company over (I'm working on it) wanting the house and food just right, but it always turns out just right. We had such a great time! I'm so thankful for my sweet little family and our friends who shared the day with us. These are some pictures I snapped right before our guests arrived, I didn't have the presence of mind to get a family photo.

Grill Masters

 

Boaz wanted to grill for a potluck at church and he was so sweet to let Moses help.

Moses was very serious about his grilling responsibilities.

                                           The kids love the cats that live at the veterinary office. :)

                                                 Sweet Boaz turned 13 on September 20! 

We had some dear friends over to celebrate. This is only half the crew, a couple families had already left before I thought to take a group picture.  

Happy Birthday dear Boaz, and many years!!

Boaz and Felicity love to climb trees. 

Love this girl!! And guy... :)

The kids were laughing and having such a good time at breakfast one morning I had to snap a picture! 

We recently had a little deck built, 8x16. We're so thankful! 

After liturgy one day we visited the park. Boaz and Felicity are working on skate boarding, and Moses riding his bike. 

Moses has a special talent for rolling his window down with his foot. :) 

Our power went out one evening, the girls and I were trying to pass the time. I wish I could say it was super cozy but it was hot and muggy.  

I love this...Moses gets so into his games. 

A very rare photo of Athanasius.  He's a sweetie, even if he doesn't want anyone to know it. :) 

Life is very full and busy right now, sometimes I'm not sure how well I keep up. I'm a homebody and introverted by nature and it's hard to navigate that when so many people depend on you.

BOYS...

 

The other morning Felicity came to me and said, "Mom there's a squirrel tail in the dryer."  "It's okay we'll let the boys deal with it, " I said. 

Felicity said, " I asked Boaz but he says he hasn't kept squirrel tails in his pockets in ages." 

Oh my...

 We love our local pool, it's only five mins away. Moses is working on building his courage and swimming to Daddy helps. 

I love these kids!! It's so fun watching them play in the pool. I remember when I was a kid, swimming was so magical, all the games you come up with. 

Moses needed a snack break. :)
