More and more are we realizing this in our family. We are so enjoying this season of our lives so much. I know we are a bit partial but I'm pretty sure we have the *best* children ever! We are enjoying these precious days with them so much!
Gracie scored at St Vinnie's when she found the Boxcar Children Cookbook!
Here she is making us a delicious meal of mashed potatoes and coleslaw for lunch from the recipes found in her new cookbook. She is having so much fun and has become quite the cook!
Enjoying a delicious chocolate cake with whipped cream!
Taking a nature walk with mama
We took this cute video of the little girls performing a very short play that we were working through in school. This play was the introductory lesson for our new unit in our Language Arts curriculum which focuses on plays-both short and complex. We will end the unit with a play by Shakespeare. We are loving Charlotte Mason Style of learning!
The guys researching some serious stuff!
(I think hunting in New Zealand or something else fun & exciting!)
Grant has been working in the fields tending to a couple hundred acres of hazelnuts. He is currently working about 30 hours a week as well as finishing school. What a wonderful young man! He is always fun and adventurous.. and always willing to lend a hand. We are so proud of his work ethic and dedication to his family and whatever task is in front of him. I really saw him grow in those areas while we were in Belize. He was amazing and so helpful to me there, especially while Grady and Ryan were gone.
He got his permit and is hurriedly getting his 100 hours of driving in so that he will have his license for harvest time. This year he has been offered a few additional responsibilities for harvest and having his license will aid in that extra work!
Ryan is working as an apprentice in a shop that repairs and services heavy machinery and semi trucks. He started about 6 months ago and is really enjoying the work. Because it is a full time position he will be unable to work the harvest this year. However this week he found out that a farmer wants him to do some harrowing for a few weeks alongside his full time job before harvest. Busy fellow!
Ryan has really thrown his heart into this job. The plant manager told Grady just today that he wishes all young men would turn out as disciplined, hard-working and accountable as Ryan is. What a blessing to hear. We are so proud of our boys!
Here is Ryan's current project. He picked up this wrecked Cadillac for $750 and intends to fix it up to sell. It will be fun to see the progress!
