Our Busy Little World

Sep. 8, 2008 - Last Vacation Pictures

Posted in Family News

In answer to a question about my schedule post below, EOW means every other week, SOTW means Story of The World, by Bauer (it's world history in story form. Eventually I would love to get Mystery Of History, but this is a nice overview for us as long as I *discuss* certain things as I read aloud). Rod and Staff refers (this year) to their first grade workbooks. Isabelle and Hannah love workbooks, color pages and the like, so we have Rod & Staff workbook pages for math, penmanship, and music - very simple, good practice for them, and they enjoy it. Milly Molly Mandy rerfers to a group of wonderful little stories we love to read, and a neat little study guide to go with them published by Veritas press, which is just at Isabelle's level. I'll try to make a better post with all of our school books later. But here are the last of our vacation photograph for now.

  Isabelle, having made her own "camp fire"

 
The girls hanging out with their cousin Teddy.
 
Lunch with the family after church
 
The Youngs have been our dearest friends for years  - we were so happy to enjoy a few days with them on our trip! As you can see, we were vastly outnumbered by our little ones!
 
Naomi having fun getting all prettied up with Miss Katie.
 
More special times with wonderful friends! The girls had so much fun playing with their California buddies.
 
Alyssa loves Grandma Anna and cousin Sarah!
 
 
Enjoying some snuggle-time with Grandpa Jon.
 
Uncle Tim helping the girls to feed the fish in his pond.
 
We enjoyed McKinley Park in Sacto with some friends.
Cute Juliette!
 
Mommy and Hilary, Joseph and Alyssa - all those blondies except for me!
 
Hilary is one of my dearest friends as well, and though we missed the whole family pictures together with our two Matt husbands, I'm so glad we have some pictures of us mommies with the kids!
 
Cousin Timothy makes a friend for life - he gave the babys some yummy food!
 
The girls watching movies with their big cousin Chris.
 
Flamingos at the zoo - we have no such things around here, so the Sacramento Zoo was a treat!
 
Silly girls!
 
I love giraffes!
 
Don't know why, but I really like this picture  Zebras are so intereresting!
 
Isabelle "on safari"
 
It was such a hot day that most of animals, sadly, were hiding. The girls did get to see a tiger up close, though!
 
Isabelle said, "Now we've seen Sher Khan, we'd better go look for Aslan!" Alas, Aslan was determined to hide that day!
 
Fun times on a wonderful trip!

You mentioned MOH. I have both volumes for sale if you are interested. I just thought I would sell them at our curriculum fair in June. We loved it and made the time line and all. You can email me if you would like. browneyedgirl4@alltel.net
