Gardening

Our newest addition is this hive of bees, this was Ryan's first time opening it up.  He says they seem happy, and that the trays in there look like they are filling up with honey.  Hopefully we'll be able to get some out in a couple of months.  I love the pictures of the girls helping me plant.  We are not efficient, but apparently that is not what is important at this stage in our lives - at least that is what the women whose children are grown and out of the house have been telling me. 

Work Day

                                                     Jessica planter her own flower garden

 I like that Eliza needs her purse with her to plant, but doesn't care that she is wearing two different boots

                           and Adie is wearing two different shoes...

We got a little bit of work out of the girls today.  They planted and watered some peas and potatoes, but spent most of the day running between play houses.  I hated to call them in tonight because they were having so much fun together.

Trouble

They came out of their room giggling and asking if they could both have braids so they could "totally trick everyone"

Cousins

 Abby, Olivia, Shanti, and Saroj are amazing.  They come over and we barely see the five little girls

                                               looking at pictures on Abby's phone

 I like this one, Saroj, the one boy in the crew up in the tree - he's a good sport with all of these girls.  At church a couple of weeks ago Eliza was acting scared to go up to Children's story and needed Saroj to take her. After church when I was asking her why she was scared her response was, "I just love Saroj so much"

Cousins

 The girls are having a blast with their cousins here from Guatemala, don't let the princess dresses and tu tu's fool you, they can hit the ball and stack wood with the best of 'em.
