As we embark on our new school year, I thought it would be energizing to watch a slide show the girls helped me create at the end of our last school year. It is a recollection of some of our outings and fun times that homeschooling enabled us to do, and I thought it was perfect to remind us of our blessings before our new year begins. It really got Ellie excited, because she was in school last year and she is looking to all the memories she gets to make this year with the girls.

summer stuff

The girls had the opportunity to attend a History Camp in Lebanon and gained a whole new appreciation of life and death.  This year's theme focused on Cemeteries and the life behind those left behind.  They learned amazing facts and the teacher is a retired teacher at Lebanon,; he taught them everything to know about lebanon and the surrounding areas.  We visited the biggest cemetery in Ohio, amongst others, and it was such an eye-opener to the amazing lives people lived before us, giving us the opportunity to live the way we do.  An amazing camp.

 fun times, sleepovers are the best!
 SMOYFEST, our church festival (entertaining themselves while Rob and I worked at the festival)
 Cork took them to the zoo one weekend, at it's absolute hottest, but they somehow held in there!





I'd have to say; Erika has some amazing talent in taking snapshots!
