Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

Photo Shoot

We had a "school picture" photo shoot at home yesterday.  Here are the ones of the kids together.

The World According to Ben

I had dreams of all the grasshoppers the chickens were going to eat for us, but it seems they have not gotten the hint yet.  I thought maybe the kids should get a few and give to them to show them the delicacy that was waiting.  David stepped up with some encouragement.


David:  "I will give you 5 minutes of computer time for every grass hopper you catch and put in a container."

Ben:  "Dad, you shouldn't make that deal, because that's something I would do anyway."

First day of school Fall 2012

The kids started school last week. 
 
Here they are going off for their first day of 10th and 4th grade.... can you believe it?... I can't!
 


And yeah, the fact that my last update was the last day of school of last year has not escaped my attention... I will try to do better!  ;)
