There Are Things



Looking around the house last night...there are things.

Things that point to crisp days, and early sunsets, and new pencils.

Just little things.

But I think we are all looking forward to it.

This change of seasons.

This beautiful life.

studying the world map..."where do bananas come from, Daddy?"


the latest out-loud reading lists

grass heads on my window-sill

Celene's

Miles'



a moldy blackberry under the microscope

reading stories on the couch

creating their own books

a mess of books on the coffee table

an impressive rock collection

two little fans watching Daddy prepare for bow hunting

two brave souls at the county fair

watching the sun go down from the ferris wheel


fair rides at sunset

curls in the wind

First Haul


Mini Musicians


This Week So Far


Theo helping Daddy plant

messy baby!

this is his concentration face

this time, to haul dishes out of the dishwasher and pretend cooking :)

she takes him with her everywhere

loves riding his bike!

Theo's doing the stairs...with a watchful big brother

made it halfway!

captured Eli absorbing kitty love

I think he would have taken a nap right there with her

NASCAR Hauler Parade


Last week, NASCAR, (a very popular racing circuit in the U.S.), 
came to race at Road America in Elkhart Lake. 
The haulers, the big trucks that haul the race cars, 
made a parade down highway 57 on their way to the race track.

Eli was mesmerized.

These Curls


I can only hope they will return in the spring!
