SNOW!!!

Really coming down out there. Looks like we have about 15" and it's still pouring. Not sure what we'll end up with by the time it quits.

My Smokey

Smokey is the sweetest cat I have ever seen. He loves to be UP close.

Before and After Hunting

Joseph and school

Here is a funny for you.

I asked Joseph if his i's were touching the dotted line and stopping at the bottom line.

He said, "God only knows if they are touching."

He was really serious about his answer.

(I normally circle the ones that are really good. I guess he liked the ones on the first row best, since he circled them for me.)

Happenings

Well, I haven't posted in awhile......I have photos to share.


Joshua's mess....this didn't end in the bathroom. It was all the way down the hall to John's room.

Ash Lawn- Highland - President Monroe's Home

Driveway to Ash Lawn






















White section of the house is the original Monroe home

Yellow section was added later after a fire destroyed part of the original home (years after President Monroe's death)












After our trip to Ash Lawn, we went to a nearby orchard. The boys really had fun picking the apples.

Swimming Lessons

John has been taking swimming lessons the last couple of weeks. He has really enjoyed himself. I can see a big difference in his swimming skills.
He jumps off the diving board in 11ft and swims to the side with no help.

You can see his smiling face as he goes down the slide, which just two days ago was a crying face. Now you can't get him to stop.

Happy 2nd Birthday Joshua!!
