Quiet deNiall Day

On de Niall Isle it is rarely quiet. With three active children running all the time we here on the isle are always going. Weather we are playing indoors or out, cleaning or learning we are always going. Today is extremely different. We had quiet until 7:30 am which really never happens. First awake was James acting as though he didn't vomit the night before well somewhat. He was very quiet and relaxed, ya right James quiet, relaxed. Yes James quiet and maybe subdued is a better description!!! I will say that I am happy to report he is not lethargic and Thomas no longer has a fever without medication. Adriana, unfortunately, did get the bug in the middle of the night. Today she is in her room sleeping and watching movies on her laptop. Watching movies is Adriana's favorite part (if any part of being sick is positive) of being sick.

Report on Thomas is his sleeping more than normal but without fever. The only down fall is he only sleeps on Mama! We are quiet but we are on the mend.

Dexter Drumlin Hilly Walk - Labor?

This afternoon the children and I went for a hilly walk up and down the Dexter Drumlin. We walked up the hill and down the other side, back up the hill and down the other side around the trail then up the hill one more time for the finally roll down the hill. Yes, I said roll down the hill, the children need something to look forward to when we are out walking and hiking. The roll down the hill was what they looked forward. It was a fun walk seeing signs of fall, trees with hanging branches and pretty grass patches!!

Adriana used to complain while on walks and hikes. I'm so glad she is getting much better at not complaining. The past three hikes/walks we have been on she wasn't complained once!! We really do enjoy family walks/hikes!

The hill that we walked!! The spot in the first picture is Adriana running up the hill. Adriana walking down the hill to meet James and I.

Mama and James pausing as we walked up the hill.

Adriana and James rolling down the hill! The video is very funny!! Rolling is fun!

Hay a sign of fall.

I loved the look of this tree. I love trees when there branches hang down!
