Everyday Laziness

We're starting to feel like the lonely days have begun. After feeling so much family love at the cabin it's hard to come home to so much quiet. Last week we were busy unpacking, buying groceries, getting the yard under control and such so we were distracted from home sickness for awhile. But, the boys are arguing a little more and complaining a little more and I 'm trying to be patient because I get it. It's hard to give up 400+ feet of lakeshore filled with family and come home to not much. We are so very glad to be with Tom. We're looking forward to watching the Olympics. And of course there are house projects I need to work on. But today just has a lazy and lonely feel so we're not doing much. I'll be productive tomorrow.

Aiden has been almost imobile as he has been swept away by Harry Potter. He sits and listens until I make him go play. Honestly, I'll be a little glad when the Harry Potter phase ends. 1 more book to go.

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...
