Country Living

Posted in Family

Last week we got to visit my hubby's father and stepmother in their new home in the country.  We had a great time!  We can't wait to have a home of our own with room to roam. 

The kids really like the wheel barrel:

This is what they get to look at every evening:

Grandpa grilled hamburgers, hotdogs, and brats.  YUM!  Grammy played yatzee with D.  I got so tired of chasing Baby B (and he was getting tired too), I put him in his carseat and turned on the DVD player hoping he would fall asleep.  It worked, but I killed the battery in the car.  Oops.  Nothing a little jump can't fix...

I love your changing pictures in your header. Such cute kiddies! And the photos of them in the wheelbarrow and the sunset are also beautiful! Photos are such an awesome way to preserve precious memories.

I am sorry that I haven't been by for a visit in forever. Life has gotten busier as the children have gotten older and I don't get to blog as much as I used to, much less visit blogs. I have a new blog site now because I am trying to teach myself html in my spare time with hopes of having a business website and I figured it made the most sense to have everything in the same place. Come visit if you get a chance:) www.melissaomarkham.com

Looks like ya'll had fun! I am not really a country gal (my parents live in the country though), but I'm really tired of 'city' living. Every day there is something to deal with- be it ignorant kids riding their bike in the middle of the street and not moving for cars or kids walking home from school and opening every mailbox on the street. Today I will keep my eyes open for that one and say something if I see it again!

Ohhhh, what beautiful country. What a lovely day. I'd be camping in the backyard if my folks had a place like that. How wonderful that ya'll can visit such a nice, pretty place.

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
