Johnny Appleseed Day


Here's the whole gang, in front of the picture Daddy surprised them with that morning. They were looking forward to this day for over a week!




Judah and Esther trying to look like Johnny Appleseed....


Making our apple prints outside...the kids loved this part.




Here are Esther and Judah with friends Gloria and Aaron. They are coloring their Johnny Appleseed picture!













Every time I have a kindergartner come through our school, we have a Johnny Appleseed Day. It's a lot of fun...a time to learn about who John Chapman really was...to eat yummy apple treats (homemade apple fritters and homemade applesauce)...make apple prints with paints...to lace up an apple card and color a special picture. The kids look forward to it so much, and I enjoy planning it for them.

Gratitude Friday

Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
