If only you could have seen them gently playing with this baby!!! Adriana is teaching were little brother how to care for a baby.

An Attempt at a Garden!!

My natural little gardener!!!

This is my first year attempting to do a garden. I think it is coming arround but I am learning that weeding is a challenge. I am excited to see the fruits of my labor. I will post more about my garden as my veggies start to grow. It really is more fun than I thought!

Sprinkler Summer Fun

Mama finally took a minute to put the sprinkler together. The children will hopefully have hours of fun with it throughout the summer. Then mama can rest and do house work. Fun for everyone!!!

The only down fall is if you turn the water on to high the sun flower pops off!!! And easy fix! Come play with us if you have a chance!

Hike to Power Wind Mills at Wachusett Mountain

While Anne and I were working in the basement (homeschool room), Daddy took Adriana, James and Isaac (his Godson) (Joseph wanted to stay and watch a Veggie Tale) on a findtrip to the Wind Mills at Wachusett Mountain. They had a fun hike and got lots of great pictures. Adriana was excited to see the giganitc Wind Mills move with the wind. On the hike they found and ate blueberries, yummy!! Daddy says it will be a nice place to have a picnic!!

A really cute picture of Isaac. What a cute baby!
Daddy said James was chasing him with the Rock pointing and shooting. He is such a boy!!

Sister and brother shot!!!
Adriana James and Issac!! I love this picture. I think it will be Michael new profile picture!



Hiking down the trail! Is this before of after daddy climbed the tree. Daddy always has to find a tree to climb!
At the bottom of the trail!

Homeschooling Room

My friend, Anne, came over today to help me organize the homeschooling room. I wasn't excepting much but I am pleased with our progress. Three or four boxes going to Salvation Army. Let's see how much more I can do this week. I'll update progress!

Before!!! Not so hot

As you can see everything is in the middle of the room and in boxes.


After: still needs alot!!!

Bookcases are in place and some boxes we completely unpacked. Anne even sorted through our plethora of books and weed some out. It goes against the grain to get rid of books but really how many books can one family have. We could start out own library!!!

It was really sad to find mold on our exersaucer and car seat but hopefully (because it is only on the cloth) we can get rid of the mold!!!

I'm really sore from all the work but it feels good to get it done!!

Zip Trip in Leominster with Fox 25!

Fox New VB with Adriana and Mama!! They really are fun and funny!!!

Adriana and Leominster's own Johnny Appleseed!

We got here when the sun was rising!!!



Adriana and I are in the background of atleast one segment. We were probably in other segments but this was by far the longest because we were right behind the major!
