Ode to Thanksgiving

Calvin's new song (sort of sung to the tune of Annie's Tomorrow)

I'm so excited about Tomorrow Tomorrow
I'll love you until always
I can't wait until Tomorrow Tomorrow
I plan to feed my face

Fall 2010

Rainbow Valley

I was outside early one morning, when I noticed the spot where the children play. It reminded me of Rainbow Valley. A fictitious place in the series from the Anne of Avonlea series where grown-up Anne Blythe's children play. The book, Rainbow Valley, focuses on lives of her children.



Of course the fact that it was one of those colorful, crisp, fall afternoons really made their own little valley stand out.



I'm sure many battles have been fought, dragons have been tamed, and heroes have been made in this little niche.



Ahhh...the golden days of childhood.

Sweet 16

Kelsea ran some last minute errands with her daddy just before the party. Nana, Andrew, Karen, Matt, and Emily arrived while she was out.





Nana brought her cake. It was truly gorgeous! And delicious!








The girls all ate junk, watched movies, and clowned around.

Dragons and Tales

Jeremiah has a new obsession. Two actually.







He loves the movie How to Train Your Dragon. He pretends, dreams, and writes about this movie. Writing would be his next obsession. He's leaving notes and stories all over the house. Being the homeschool mom that I am. I used the opportunity to teach him about contractions. ;-)

He wrote this story while we were watching Kelsea at the Turkmen Video recording.

Turkmen Dance

Kelsea's ballet class made a video for a church in Turkmenistan.
