The rest of the magical story....

The boys went up to the lake today to soak in more Cabin Magic. I stayed home because someone around here has to work for a living. Haha. As it turns out my clients cancelled but I was not notified of this until I was almost to their house. Thus, it was disappointing since I could have gone to the lake as well, but the day at home was nice. My house is clean (until the boys arrive home with their sand filled clothes), I went shopping at the mall by myself, and I lazily laid on the couch and watched a couple episodes of my show with zero interruptions. Win!!! As I'm finally sorting through pictures I'm reliving the wonderful week at the cabin, thanking Jesus for his provision and for this place and for what it means for our family and for my kids. Life is good.

Happy 4th of July!

Last year this ride was fun, this year not so much. He's a big kid now!

We got to see Great Grandma and Great Grandpa for the weekend.

Happy as larks.

His happy place.

Ringing the dinner bell.

In this case, Aiden is ringing the breakfast bell. He's got his apron on and he's ready to take orders and serve up Grandmommy's delicious breakfast, another Cabin Magic tradition.

Happiness.

More happiness.

Not a care in the world.

He's out to sea. Hopefully he can paddle back.

Until next time....

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...
