random thoughts

Do you ever remember things at very random moments? I believe that's how a Mom functions most of the time...well, at least, that's how I function. Ivy had one of those moments today. We were sitting and reading the Bible story about Saul who later became Paul, and the next thing you know she is talking about how we found someone's false teeth in the woods while letterboxing/hiking with our friends, Tyler, Natalia, and Abbie. So random. I guess she takes after her Mama.

rocky gorge

While Grandma O. was here to help me in Nathan's absence, we took the time to go visit Rocky Gorge...












While there, we came to read this sign which talks of a woman who had slipped on a rock while trying to cross the river and fell into the raging waters which pinned her below. She was stuck in the water for more than 3 hours and survived, but the man who helped rescue her was Miss Mary's husband! Quite a fascinating story to read and then to hear Miss Mary tell about it! So neat!

grandma o. comes to help

Daddy had a couple weeks of training out of state so while he was gone, Grandma O. came up to help out with the kids and to visit. As usual, it is always so nice to have a familiar face and an extra set of eyes and hands.

A few highlights...





LOVE the faces!

Tea Party!Either going on a trip or running errands (you never know where Ivy will take you)...





Playing outside...

Thank you, Mom, for the great time of chatting and for taking the time to come up here and help me out so much this past week!

tyler natalia & abbie

Finishing out my posts about the Truitt family's visit to our house, here's what happened when we stayed put...


Reading...

Flying...

Being Friends...

So sweet!
Wrestling...






(Abbie didn't like her daddy wrestling one bit though...)




Thanks for coming to visit!

wendell's

I entitled this post "wendell's" because it will be the only way Tyler will remember being at this place. Tyler couldn't get it through his head that this place was called Weston's and NOT Wendell's. (He probably still thinks it's called Wendell's!) Anyhow, while Tyler and Nat and Abbie were up, we headed over to Weston's Farm to use the beauty of the farm and their harvest for some group and family photos.

*INSERT GROUP & FAMILY PHOTOS HERE!!!!


This farm also has a hay house which the kids have so much fun crawling through.
