Fall Break

Joel was scheduled to preach a revival in Knoxville last month so we waited to take our fall break so we could tag along. We were able to stay with PawPaw and Nana while we there. One day we took a little drive through Cade's Cove to see the pretty fall colors and try to see some animals. We saw many turkeys and deer and a momma bear with her two cubs. Despite the cold, rainy weather we had a great time.





























Tie My Shoe

Joel decided it was time the kids learned how to tie their own shoes. These are pictures of Squirrel, but Possum also learned how to as well. It is so nice that they can put on their own shoes now AND tie them!






A Sewin' Squirrel



Nai Nai began making all kinds of felt ornaments and she sent Squirrel some patterns. This was her first attempt at sewing all by herself.

Huber's Farm and Pumpkin Patch

During fall break we took the kids from church to Indiana to Huber's Farm. There was so much to do there and everyone had a great time!

We played games
and rode the cowmobile









looked at ducks, pigs, cows, llamas, and other animals





picked pumpkins















went through a corn maze

and went on a tractor ride through the farm.


We also ate all kinds of good food, tried pumpkin ice cream, and enjoyed our time in God's beautiful creation!

First Day of School

Just to prove how far behind on blogging I am, here are pictures from our first day of school. We are homeschooling again this year and the kids are doing great.


Possum: First Grade 2011-2012




Squirrel: Preschool 2011-2012













Chaney's Dairy Barn









Back in September we loaded up the church van and went to Chaney's Dairy Barn for a fun night. Joel was in Colorado during this time and Possum was staying with Mr. Bob so he could go hunting so it was just me and Squirrel. We had a ball playing, eating ice cream, and watching a movie outside on the side of the big red barn!
