We're So Happy

 ...and very busy! I've been doing school in *all* my spare time, so blogging has been pushed aside. But, I am here to catch you up on the last month or so of interesting, random pictures. :)

 This is a totally normal occurrence. Emma standing on a log in the woods barefoot in her church clothes, singing at the top of her lungs. We love her.

 About a month ago Laura, Camille, Emma and I had a little photoshoot on a Lord's Day afternoon.
We walked along our country highway to this stone picnic table and had fun posing with it and the old soda bottles that were there. And of course we love our Nikons. :D

 We realized that the time between cars passing was just enough that we might be able to get a picture in the middle of the highway. So we did.

 Although of course as soon as we started to try, cars appeared much more frequently. :)

 Elsie's so pretty.

 He's so cute.

 And they just love to play on our new ATV. This thing has been an adventure. :)

 Aw, C'mon, Jo! Smile!

 Willa spent several days over at the Stouffers with Caroline creating beautiful dresses as gifts for friends. Their creations were fabulous.

 Josiah got his first haircut!

 Sometimes Saturday night cooking can be a little explosive.

 Last Monday evening the Lovetts and Sproul children came over for dinner. We had a lot of fun chatting and playing "Thumper".

 Hi, Pastor! :D

 Little Miss Elsie and Little Miss Hannah

 We burned our Christmas tree while they were here. Quite a sight.

 The lovely girls again, in different outfits now.

Last Tuesday after Co-op classes, we all met in town to play soccer on a real field. Despite being cold, windy, and rainy, it was a very enjoyable game.

 "Off sides"

 The little ones played their own game

 Lots of slips, falls, flat-on-your-faces, twists, tricks, and awesome moves.
 The mud made it all the slipperier.

 Group shot. I love the level line of mud on our knees. :P

 Darby and I finally got to meet! Its always enjoyable to meet online friends-especially when you've known them for like, 4 years. We went on a 3-mile walk one day- barefoot. :P

This past Lord's Day, we hosted fellowship again. We played Apples to Apples and talked all about gluten-free. :)

In an effort to keep our room clean, Willa took drastic measures... that didn't work. :P

 This strange sign confused some.

Grand Dude's here! He and Seth played a game of "war" or something with the animals this morning.

Life is good. Life is busy. Life is sanctifying. Life rocks. Life makes us happy. :)
