| adam and eli took a day trip to duck lake above mccall last weekend. i love these kind of days ~ eli gets daddy/outdoor/manly/fishing/hiking/bug sighting time while lyla and i get some very rare girl time. |
 |
| he made the four mile round trip hike…with a few rest stops. |
 |
| i'm titling these “wat up?” |
 |
| i wasn’t there, so i don’t exactly know what was going on…but i do know that fun was being had. |
 |
| i've been learning to play the mandolin this year. adam bought me a beginners one for our anniversary, but my fingers are protesting it. sooo, we’ve been on the hunt for a nicer one but couldn’t find what i wanted. then i discovered “kits.” these kids supply all the pieces to build your own mandolin. the wood was very rough cut, so there is much cutting, sanding and all around babying of the wood to get it ready to glue. we’re in that process now… |
 |
| the whole being cut… |
 |
| here are her braces and binding… |
 |
| sanding, sanding and more sanding…. |
 |
we are SO blessed to be attending the Providence Homeschool Co-op for the second year. the kiddos are loving it…yes, even LYLA! here they are on the first day…
|
 |
| …that hanging-on-by-a-thread-tooth finally falls out?!?! he lost it while eating pizza and it’s now somewhere in his digestive tract.. |
 |
| isaac was even excited for him…they are such great buds. |
