more September pics

We prepared for, carefully watched, and had a hurricane party with friends

(the Sherman family spent a night with us) but thankfully stayed out of the storm's path.

Went for a long family walk at the park- saw lots of turtles from the boardwalk and climbed to the top of the observation tower!

September school

Hadassah has been doing well with the CC memory work and great job with her math and language arts!

Asher is doing a great job with his school work!  Math is his favorite (he's almost finished with book 1 already!), he is patient and doing well with his reading, and is having fun with the CC memory work.

starting some bell pepper plants from seed

Corban and Abigail are both doing super (A+ in all subjects for both of them this month!) and really enjoying Equip!

Abigail is 11!

last sleep as a 10 year old!

Abigail chose (and helped make!) ice cream sandwiches (chocolate chip cookies with cookie dough ice cream inside) as her birthday dessert!

Celebrating continued all week at Selah and Equip classes

August dates

Corban and Daddy went on a super fun Father/Son weekend at Kanaukuk Kamps!

Abigail, Hadassah and Mommy did our date together this month!  We went to Target together where the girls got matching swimsuits and mermaid tail cover-ups and picked out a few things for a friend that is sick.  Then we went to get ice cream- we went to a nitrogen ice cream shop and got to watch them mix together all the ingredients and then freeze to make ice cream.  It was delicious!

Asher and Daddy ran an errand together and then came home to watch.... together (and Asher got ... pennies!)

Kanakuk Father/Son Retreat

Ready to go! Daddy and Corban flew from Fort Lauderdale to Arkansas with another dad and his 2 boys (and then another father/son friend met them at kamp for the weekend).  

As they flew over Cape Canaveral area they saw a rocket launch!

They spent the first night at a lake house and enjoyed the afternoon tubing on the lake!

High elements rope course with a huge swing at the end!

A group went into Branson for a Ninja warrior course and climbing wall facility!

Caving and hatchet throwing!

After the retreat ended, the guys had a little time before they needed to catch their flight home and decided to go go-karting!
