Homesteading

It has been a long-time dream of ours to own some land and create our homestead. While browsing at real estate for fun two weeks ago, Jenny found some interesting things and we are now under contract for a beautiful parcel of land in Augusta County, VA!!! It's been a busy two weeks, and our current house is now on the market. We can start to build as soon as this one sells.

Little Reader!

Ashton finished his chart today from his Hooked on Phonics Kindergarten box. He's very proud of himself and earned some marbles for his marble run.

Puppets!

Quinn loves his puppets!

Kisses!

The 3 Little Pigs. For some reason Quinn always gets the pigs and Ashton gets the wolf.

Our Compassionate Obsetrician

Perhaps Ashton has a future in the baby-catching business. Here he is demonstrating a birth with my pelvic & fetal model from class.

Baby is born!

Christmas Crafts 08

Ashton made chocolate-covered pretzel rods. We had a little trouble getting the chips to melt right. Better luck next year.
Well I don't know how to turn it, but here's Ashton working on our pinecone & acorn ornaments. We made penguins; the directions came from Martha Stewart magazine. It was quite fun!
We also made a lot of bath goodies--salts & fizz & bath bombs.
