We Moved!

But it's not what you think. It's more of a change in url.

I'm trying to catch up from a long blogging break. Updates are now happening here:

Do you ever get that feeling?

You know the one, where you feel like you are being watched. But you are pretty sure that you are the only one in the room? Thanks, boys. I found several more of these little hidden creepers around the house this afternoon.

On a Sabbath Afternoon

John and Pat have been out of town so much, that we grabbed at the opportunity to stop by and see them before they are off again. As it turns out, Peter's WWVA class reunion was taking place out by the pond, so we hid out in the kitchen. The boys got to know Isabella and Gabrielle a bit more. And Everett had his first ice cream cone.

Three Little Boys

Some days just call for eating popcorn on the front step.

Who Was That Masked Man?

Tonight Robb found a little gem this evening. The Lego Club website had this fun little tutorial for turning any basic tee into a ninja hood. Zeke and Lincoln are in heaven.

On Assignment

Even though we are currently studying the garden, there seem to be quite a few insects working their way into our study time. We currently have a very well-fed caterpillar getting comfy in its new jar home.

Today, Zeke's task was to photograph all of the ripening produce out in the garden. And while he did a good job of that, he was also excited to photograph ladybugs, honeybees and various beetles. I finally had to draw the line at flies on poo. We will clearly be studying insects next.

The Full Moon

If left to their own devices, I'm pretty sure that all toddlers would be nudists.

The Big Tractor

Finally, the long-awaited day. Christian has been telling the boys to come out and see the big "tractors" for months now. But with Robb's call schedule and harvest, it hasn't happened. Until today. The boys were smitten by the enormity of the machine and couldn't wait to climb around a bit. But Christian surprised them with a ride. Zeke got pretty serious behind the wheel. They will not soon forget this adventure.

Toilet Assistant

You know what little brothers are good for? Reaching the toilet paper when it is just too far.

Museum Playground

I love that we always get this playground all to ourselves.
