Summer Highlights . . . and Now it's Fall!

It's been a few months since I posted . . . summer came and went, and now we are in full swing of fall. I thought I would share some picture highlights from our summer as well as a quick update . . .

These pictures are from our trip to the Albuquerque Zoo . . .

We got to spend some fun time with grandparents and cousins in New Mexico.

Lindy loved cousin Gracie

One of the last pictures with her two front teeth!
Joy's dream came true when she got to hold a butterfly!
Gazing at the aquarium.

Silly brother Dean!

Silly brother Jake!
 
School began, and although we homeschool, this year the girls and I are involved with a co-op. I am teaching the kindergarten class two days a week with 7 other kids, and Mia is in the 8th grade class. Our co-op meets on the campus of a private Christian school, so the kids have to wear uniforms . . . but they are oh, so cute in them!
 
 
The girls love going to kindergarten, but they also love to do school at home!

Such concentration . . . this girl is working so hard.

Always happy!

Always creating . . . this smart little cookie has so many big ideas!

Ta da!
We recently got to help support another family's adoption with our "Found" shirts. We are so thankful that we are found in Christ . . . and we are so thankful that these two precious China dolls have been found and grafted into our family! 
 




 
We are also celebrating a very special adoption right in our own extended family . . .
more to come soon!
