Autumn Pictures

3 Weeks Old

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. :)

Count Your Blessings

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.

Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.

Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
