Family

I got a lot of comments about this picture on facebook so I thought I would share it on my blog.

This is the family at Bear Lake this past weekend.

Summer

Well, I definitely thought that I would write on here more. Maybe now that summer is over and we are getting into the swing of things again!

We had a wonderful summer that went far too quickly. I enjoyed the cooler aspects of summer. I've never been one for lots of heat so this year was perfect.

This is a picture of our family at Arlington Beach. We had a wonderful time with family. The kids so love having the freedom there that they don't have when we are in the city. They can run over to the park and play and we don't have to worry. It is always hard to come back home again after a visit.

The picture of Paul and me was taken by A when we visited Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend. We had a wonderful day. It was a little busy because it was free but we were able to find a parking spot and we did two hikes. We hiked to Alberta Falls first, ate lunch and then hiked Bear Lake. The kids seemed to enjoy the time. E doesn't favor being outside much so we often hear from her that she wants to go home. A likes to run ahead and we often have to remind her to stay close. I got some really great pictures but I don't know how to show them all to you.

We have started school and I have already heard the words "I hate school" and "I don't want to do math." So far I have been able to get the girls to do their work. It is a challenge every day.

I have decided to join a Precepts Bible Study this Fall on Romans. I am a little concerned about taking time away from school but we are going to try and do school in the afternoon. I feel like I need to do a study and I like this inductive style.

I must go for now. It is time to feed my hungry children!
