More Stitches and More

A few updates from the homefront...

Here are Sydney & Ethan in their Old Testament outfits eating a lunch of lentils & rice with flatbread (corn chips!) and dates for dessert. We are studying Ancient Times in history. This week we studied Abraham and Joseph, hence the Genesis clothes and food! We also have a chicken we are in the process of mummifying from our study of Ancient Egypt.
Ethan and his second, yes second, set of stitches. Last Tuesday we were at a friend's home when Ethan scored this injury. Thankfully, a friend of ours from church was there within 5 minutes, and had us meet her at her office to stitch him up. Since this is his second set within one month, he felt like an old pro. He laid there still and silent the whole time, holding his piece of gum from Otis...the promise of good things to come when "my surgery is over!"
With our friends at the Baa Moo Farm, where the kids got to do and see all kinds of fun things, like milking a cow!
Dates on the cob...a Sydney invention.


Reid at Old Salem. Twice a year Old Salem has Homeschool Days; it was fantastic!
Copying scripture with a quill pen in books the kids made.
Walking over the bridge on our way home.
Reid lasted till about 2pm, but finally gave in to a nap.
