Fall Happenings around Here

We have been busy this fall. I have taken a break from blogging to get into some kind of grove in schooling both girls and adjusting to life in our new home. Well, I think that we have found a good rhythm for our days although I am still working on housekeeping schedule that will work. We do spend many afternoon's out of the house which is not leaving enough time to get all the work done. I will be revising the girl's responsibilities and adding where I can to get things manageable.

I am also recovering from an injury during an overzealous attempt to get fit. WARNING - if you are over 40, don't attempt to do things full throttle that you haven't done in ten years! I have to go to physical therapy a couple times of week and by the end of the day, I basically can't move. So, if the work isn't done by dinnertime, it ain't gettin' done. :)

Here's a peek into what we have been up to...........

We took our new puppy Lucy to the Blessing of the Animals at our Parish. It was the first time that we have ever attended one of these Blessings and it was very sweet. Lucy took her Blessings with such grace. She was one of the smallest dogs there and scared to death! That is probably why she was so satisfied just being held the whole time.












Afterward, the girls made smores with their Dad in our big backyard! If you remember, we use to have a yard the size of a postage stamp. :)

C-Sunshine made her first full meal for the family totally by herself! She found the recipe, made her shopping list, did the shopping and came home and cooked. I did help with draining the noodles, etc.. but she did all the work. It looked and.........
and tasted very yummy! I was very proud of my little chef.


We went to see Disney on Ice "Celebrations" with our homeschool group and got to take along our cousins! It was a lot of fun.

We got to go on a canoe ride with Dad at a fall festival at Cochran Mill Farm.
We have more to post, but it will have to wait until another day. Much to do!
