September Sabbath

In September, we started homeschooling and one of our highlights of the year is celebrating the Biblical feasts. Our first was Sabbath.

Mom had to light the candle and welcome people to the table - all part of the celebration!

Of course, once the challah bread was ready to eat - Kaleigh was quick to get to it!

Ryan toasting to the day of rest...grape juice anyone?

Look at those cool fruit arrangements...like candles.

August Highlights

If Kaleigh could, she would have eaten all the blueberries!

Allison was going to eat up all our blueberries - what a haul!

Ryan got first at the NW Washington Fair and first in his division!

Brendan got first at the NW Washington Fair for his Lego entry.

Brendan's B-day!

What a great looking cake for the Mario-themed party, eh?

Cheers to Brendan - 8 years old!

Look! Mario was at the party!

A few "manly" games?

What a great lookin' bunch of kiddos.

July Highlights - Rock Creek!

Ah, it's about time Ryan was hit by some surprise water!

I was explaining the merit of using cups for weapons when....

Super-soaker!

Attack!

I'm on a journey of peace...no splashing...really!

Maxin' and Relaxin'

Splashdown!

Kaleigh whispering with her cousin...

A catch!

Go long!

Seussical!

Ryan was a Wickersham!

Allison was a bird-girl!

I had a small role too...can you guess what I was?

The kids liked my prop.

A little family foto for fun!
