Balloon Glow


We went to Balloon Glow with friends a few weeks ago.
It's a small event in Manitowoc that showcases hot air balloons, food, and fireworks.
Very pretty!






 

Pearl Salon Day


The girls enjoyed an afternoon decorating and dressing up Pearl!






 

End of August



Hannah and her doll, ready for bed 

I didn't get much canning in this summer, but Theo helped put up a few batches of pickles...yum!

Miles is thrilled with his new four wheeler!

Shawn and I got away for a night up north

Not sure what this goofiness is...

Hannah's first pair of spectacles have been squished already...so it's a good excuse to choose a new color!

 

Stone Soup



Eli enjoyed the book "Stone Soup" so much that he wanted to make some!



 

Puzzling


Celene's love of puzzles has inspired her little brothers!
I confess to loving this pastime, for the simple reason it keeps them so quiet for a while!

Early August


Couch snuggles before bed

the garlic harvest is good

Eli took this photo of the lovely sky! Those clouds!

He's growing older! His Lego kit choices are getting more complex!

the kids got particularly dusty last evening

Lulu snoozing in the push mower bag :)



Harvesting another round of hay!




bringing the hay up to the barn :)

Our little friend Micah from church, on his first birthday party!
He was so surprised by the singing!





a warm morning by the lake

We're enjoying the local pool more often this year than we have before! It's even better with friends!


Theo and Eli passed their swim test and now they get to use the diving board and fast slide!
