Homeschool News:

I am down to 2 homeschoolers this year! Annalee will be a HS Senior and Gabe will be a HS Sophomore... wow, time flies!

Annalee is working towards becoming a professional photographer. You should check out her Instagram account: shots.by.anne :) She is very talented!

Gabe just finished his Drivers' Ed course through FLVS and is the last of the kiddos to get his permit. Now, onto driving on the road- God, help me!

All Outdoors

It was a beautiful day in the mid-80's. It looks like fall is finally here!! Bring on the sun!!
Our seasons are a bit backwards here... in the summer, it rains nearly every day in the afternoon (this year more than most), and the winter is lovely, sunny and warm.



Andy purchased a 48" John Deere lawnmower for tackling the large yard, but has never had the time to show Noah how to use it. Today, he took the time to show Noah the controls! I am so excited, and I think Noah enjoyed mowing :) He got nearly all the mow-able parts of the yard this afternoon/evening, and he did a pretty good job for a novice...



Elena and the little ones decided to start their own garden this year. Our fall growing season starts around August/September, so they planted some seeds to see how they would do... I think every single seed sprouted!! Here's Gabe with his broccoli plants- he loves his broccoli. We really need to transplant them to different pots, but for now they are thriving in this one!




Annalee planted fenugreek seeds. I don't know what to do with them- hahahaha! I know the seeds are used in herbal remedies, but for now the plants are pretty small. I'll figure it out sooner or later :)





















Elena got a couple white cucumber plants from our good friend, Ms. Taffy. While our friend's plants didn't do so well, Elena's have taken off and are now climbing up our pool cage!! I think Elena's green thumb had something to do with it. She can make anything grow :)


















I hope this weather holds up! What a great time of year to be outside :)
