Life with our little family of 3...

I took Emma and a couple of her friends to the Children's Hands On Museum this week. They had a great time pretending to be... A rock star A construction worker A beautiful & happy girl! (This one isn't pretending!)

All in a day of homeschooling! :-)

We had a delay in school this morning due to camera fun! :-) These are just a few of the fun pictures we took! But at last we got started with our school! We finished up with this fun experiment! We are making "Fool's Jewels" from our story of Jacques Cartier's discovery of "jewels" in his exploration to Canada! In a couple of days these will be some yummy treats to eat!

We finally got a camera after all these months! I missed having one so much! So today I went picture crazy! These are just a few of the things we did today. These pictures were from an Atom & Molecule experiment we did today. It involved placing copper wires that were attached to a battery into a glass of water. This was the results! No this is not blue kool-aid... I've already made that mistake once in my lifetime... (right Carrie & Jenna?!?) This is what Mac does while we do our homeschooling... how helpful! Quite the swimmer! More pictures to come! :-)

Kayaking! About a year or so ago, Robert began dreaming of us all going kayaking together. It's a relatively inexpensive hobby compared to others. Thus began his quest... It started with Emma. Last year for Christmas she got her own kayak from Grandpa & Grandma. In the months since, she has become quite the kayaker! She loves it! Especially having her own! So a few weekends ago, we rented a couple of more kayaks and went out on the sound. We had a great morning of kayaking around the sound! It's so amazing to see how confident Emma is out on her own. She loves being able to paddle around by herself. Hanging with Grandpa We didn't get a picture but we had a couple of sea lions following us around that morning! It was really cute. 1 kayak down... 2 more to go. :-)
