November 1 - New Baby and Science

Some very good friends of ours had a huge blessing happen to them today. A dear, sweet little girl was born today. Her name is Elianna Kathrine Charise Waters. Elianna means answered prayers. This baby is just that, they were sure that they were done with babies. But, as it happens so often, God's plan was different. This is their sixth child, one of which was a miscarriage. The oldest children are a set of twins and they are 8 years old.

For science we were dissecting a frog. Shea got to join in on this one. He was very committed.

The science crew, Minus Shea and Mason.

I think Shea is liking it.

October 31 - Halloween.... I think not

Due to the fact that we haven't got to spend real, good, fun time with the Carroll-Bells, they came over today. They didn't get ready to go trick-or-treating instead they played town. One of the busiest "businesses" was the photo booth.

Here is the fun treat for tonight.

A water nymph.

More wolves.

One of the family's favorites, the Minotaur.

Well done Shea.
