Here are the rest of the pictures I found from August. I finally had time to look at memory cards and phones again!
This is a normal sight at 9:30 each evening. Just before I go to bed, I feed the cats so that this one goes outside for the night. She won’t let me forget to feed them! She is friendlier at that time of day than any other time.
This was one of the t-shirt dresses I made for Miss Joy this winter.
Little Miss took this picture of her flower garden to send to Esther while she was in America.
One day, I noticed that the bag of kindling had a lot of pieces of wood that were nice for building blocks. I suggested that Miss Joy do something with them. She spent a couple of hours playing with those blocks, pretending various things with them. The piece leaning against the couch at an angle is a scanner for credit cards. Watch the video to see what else she was pretending!
Little Miss used some of the blocks, too, as well as all of the Jenga blocks, to make a line of “dominoes.”
Simon bought a hut that someone wanted to get moved off a local farm. We went one day to watch it be picked up and moved to his property.
The little girls like to make huts in the living room!
Elijah finished his apprenticeship! He is very happy to have that behind him and to be a fully-qualified carpet- and vinyl-layer.
Little chicks, a day or two after hatching.
Miss Joy wanted to have a candle-lit meal for her birthday celebration, so we did.
She also wanted candles on her dessert, which was ambrosia, a mixture of yogurt, whipped cream, berries, and chocolate. We don’t normally do candles, but I did get some for her.
