So Much Has Happened

We were adopted by a kitten. Actually, our van was adopted, but we decided the engine of a van was no home for a kitten.

Here she is looking oh so adorable.

And here Aidan is looking oh so adorable.

We have read many great books, and had many great walks. In our adventures we have come across many interesting creatures.

The kids were very excited to spot this little guy. Evan spent the next twenty minutes collecting food and arranging it on a bed of leaves.

Mikayla enjoyed trying to identify the birds we found.

Evan learned to ride his bike. Congratulations Evan! He also learned to ride this tree.

Our friends are back from Europe where they spent the summer,WAHOO! They were missed, and it was wonderful to see them again. Aidan didn't think he could survive without his best friend for so long but he did it.

We were recently visited by a hungry rabbit; our overgrown grass has come in handy. We have also been the local hot spot for birds. I discovered if you use a tarp to reduce weeds, you create the perfect breeding ground for garden slugs. As I am sure anyone reading this will agree, this is very gross. It did cut down on the weeds though ; )

These last pictures are from a last minute camp trip we took with Cheryl, Emily and Maya. I have been meaning to post them. So here they are.


There was a field full of frogs at our camp site. It kept the kids busy most of the time we were there.
We aren't sure what this was. We thought beaver but the tail was bushy looking. If anyone knows, please share. And if this is a beaver, please don't judge my homeschooling competence. I do try. : )
