Avebury

We had a gorgeous picnic/walk Sunday and enjoyed some history!  I think I am a bigger fan of this stone circle than Stonehenge!  

Decking the Halls

Our Christmas tree is up and reminding us of great Christmas cheer!  We enjoyed spending the evening decorating, singing carols and watching Muppet Christmas Carol.  I love building traditions with our children! Earlier in the week we made some of my Mom's famous sugar cookies! YUM YUM!

Little Vikings

This week in school we were learning about the Vikings, and for some reason dragons seemed to be another theme(in our read alouds and they were carved on Viking longships).  So we made our own shields and swords to battle dragons together.  Here are our little Viking invaders.

Helmets

The kiddos are loving their new helmets.  Truthfully the littlest cutie loves anything that can go on his head!  

Photo Fest

 I am catching up on my blogging for the fall with a bunch of photos!  In no particular order.

More Adventures with Friends

In early fall we took a trip with our friends to a local estate.  It was loads of fun for the kids!  All sorts of adventures to be had including: a farm, caves to explore, a massive jungle gym and beautiful gardens.  What fun we had!  

Little Supermen

The boys were having fun today playing with some broken 3D glasses. Clark Kent in the making!  

Hospital Take Two

Our little Elliot was back in the hospital this past weekend this time with an infection in his knee.  He apparently had been bit by a small insect and somehow scratched it causing a terrible infection which gave him a sore wound and a high fever.  We were sent once again to Bath hospital where he was given an IV of strong antibiotics.  Poor baby really did not like seeing the nurses at all.  He and Erin spent two nights in the hospital and have been released today.  Please be praying for him to continue to respond to the antibiotics as he is now on an oral form different from the one he had been on in the hospital.  We are thankful that he is feeling better and that our family is back home together.

Eye Appoinment

Please pray for our sweet Everett as he will have his eyes checked out next week.  At this point I have no idea how to pray except for our little boy to be able to have normal eye functioning.  Thank you.   One a similar note, here are a couple photos of our trip to Bath the other day....it was meant to be a doctor's appointment for our littlest, but turned out to be a trip that was unnecessary due to doctors not knowing protocol on PKU tests (thankfully it was one we had already done before we arrived here). So instead we took a detour home and made a drive by of some local hot spots.

 Very famous Bath Architectural Building (not sure the name because we just drove by really quick to see it)

 

Once a Manor/Vacation home...now a nursing home...yes it is OK to leave me here to enjoy the end of my life.  

 View from the nursing home...see what I mean..I could sit and enjoy God's beauty all day here.  Plus it was absolutely quiet and peaceful!  AHH Bliss.  

 Private fishing stream.  

 Everett wanted to make sure we took a picture of the cows.  So we made a special stop for our animal lover.
