Isn't this bouquet of flowers gorgeous?  Stennes bought it for Mean Ol' Mama as a "thank you" for all she does.  Wowza !!
The boys went fishing for catfish.
 
Staying busy as beavers down here.  The older three boys have a huge competition in north Georgia this weekend, so we'll let you know how that goes.  Josiah had two presentations at a public school nearby.  Stennes is busy working and preparing for competition.  He also just won First Place at a large archery competition !  Anders is busy memorizing his loooong speech and preparing to compete.  Branch is helping out up at Pop's and everywhere else he is needed.  He's busy with schoolwork, too.  The Girl is busy being sweet and keeping her many wheels turning.  Chub is busy with schoolwork.  Mean Ol' Mama is busy just sitting around eating bon bons.  (And if you believe THAT.......)

Family Photos and Frolics

Sorry for the delay in posting, but we have a new computer system that had a few kinks.  We were able to take a few family photos, and you'll see how much the kiddos have changed (not to mention the parents !!!) 







The kids enjoyed a Native art class during our Monday co-op.
 Spanish reading is always much more fun out on the trampoline.
 And Greek books are much more interesting outside, too.
 It's been a bit cold here, so the puppy and the cat decided to call a temporary truce.
 Branch has been working diligently on his Native American diorama.
We've been super busy, and we'll be posting more photos soon of the many crazy things going on in our world.
