For Country's Sake

Far dearer the grave or the prison,
Illumed by one patriot name,
Than the trophies of all who have risen
On liberty's ruins to fame!

The puppies just turned three weeks old yesterday.  Here are some pictures with my youngest son holding them.

Puppies!

Here is a picture of the puppies born early morning September 14, 2011.

Learning a Second Language

This year in our homeschool, we are learning a second language.  The language that we chose is German!  Schones wetter heute, nicht wahr?  (Beautiful weather today, isn't it?)  We did have a beautiful day today, the sun was shining and the temperature felt just right!

First Day Back to School

Today was our first day back to school. 

We are ready to get back to work!

This is how we are keeping track of the books that we read this year.

Hummingbirds

I have been trying to get a picture of the beautiful hummingbirds that visit the feeder hanging from my porch.  I finally got one and thought I would share.  By the way, it is really hard to take a picture of a hummingbird. :)
