Today has been lovely...delightfully crisp air and yet warm and sunshiny! I love the Autumn, especially here in Kentucky. We have been outside all day and loving it.

The kiddos have been building a petting zoo over the last few weeks. Complete with a stone path and a polar bear! (this is my mom's Westie) They have been working everyday for hours; building, raking, laying rock, you name it! I join them or watch from my kitchen window. It is such a blessing to see them working so hard and in a terrific enviornment. Safe from the wiles of suburun and city life here in our little valley. Praise the Lord!

Work is coming along on our house...we'll be ready for carpet and paint in under 3 weeks! I never thought I would see this day...the Lord is good!

Homeschooling with a BUSY baby is interesting to say the least! Bethany is such a joy to our family...we so enjoy her and love following her around as she discovers new things and tries our new feats! She is definetly our most adventurious child yet! She is always joining us in our homeschool, which is really fun, unless you are explaining a math problem yet one more time!

We are really settling down into a routine...that is awesome!

I am looking forward to a new week and seeing what God has in store for us...enjoy those little bundles and big helpers this week as you direct them unto God.

Blessings, Ashley
