Rushing Along

Branch got a few books from the thrift store, including this interesting book on the history of mathematics. He really enjoys reading. ChubChub enjoyed our one and only watermelon that voluntarily grew by Poppins' blueberry bushes. Do you think it's large enough?

Well, there's enough for a few slices, and ChubChub wanted to show off his two missing teeth.

And Poppins enjoyed the rind smile. Silly guy!

The fellows purchased these bows from a private seller. Now we have enough firearms and bows to last...well, quite a long time.

Josiah bought a nice little boat and trailer with trolling motor from the same seller.

Just needs a little TLC...

Stump Jumper, the mighty little boat...

Mean Ol' Mama found a brand new Schlemmer-Topf baker for just $2.99! What a deal!

She also found some interesting cookbooks because she really, really needed them. Yep.

The Girl was excited to find some braunschweiger on sale. Yummy!

ChubChub has just been hanging around. He's easing along in Spanish School, and his reading skills are improving. When we finish his current book, he'll begin English School.

Branch, The Girl, and ChubChub helped Josiah sand his "new" boat trailer.

The fellows have been organizing their fishing supplies with big plans for our upcoming vacation.



Can you believe that this long splinter was in Josiah's wrist for almost one month??!!! Ouch!

We had a really good meeting this past Sunday. There was a large group of adults, but the children wanted to come in closer. This little fellow asked Mo'M to open the pack of crackers that we hand out with the Bibles.



Working on the ol' Stump Jumper...

Stennes helped with the painting and wiring for the lights on the trailer.

Stennes also purchased a small boat from another seller. They've had a good time working on their new "rides".

He even cooked one of our favorite meals: migas. Multi-talented, ya know...

He helped Pop and the cousins bang out the frame on this old car so the back door would close.Levi purchased this nice horse, and Branch took his turn. Kind of high up, eh?



Mean Ol' Mama is now finished teaching at the College for two weeks; we hope to catch up on schoolwork and finish current grades during her break; there's a list of To Do's from here to yon; we finished our final Patriotic Performance, and costumes are now packed away; big plans for just two little weeks...
