Whew!

I'm super tired. I actually found myself nodding off briefly at work today. These last two weeks have been non-stop!

There is a reason I'm so tired. I unpacked our last box today! Well, almost the last box. I have two huge tubs of "decor" that I haven't put up yet, but that is the fun part and that is all I have left. There is still much to do in terms of painting and I know I'll probably re-organize a few times until everything feels like it's in it's proper place, but all that will come in time. Rome wasn't built in a day, so they say.

We had a great 4th! I'll post pictures tomorrow, but the long weekend was wonderful. Aiden went to bed long before fireworks time, but he has years to stay up to ohhh and ahhh over the display. Tom and I laid out on our dock snuggled with pillows and blankets and watched the fireworks show put on over our lake. It was great! Anyway, I 'll save the rest of the 4th of July story for tomorrow. I'm beat!

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away. 

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
