Recent Photos

Hi all - I'm trying to get this blog updated with all the stuff we've been doing during September...hard to believe it will be October already this coming weekend! I finally got our Switzerland posts completed...so scroll down a few posts to view those!

Here are a couple recent photos of Shelby - she is very happy in these photos taken last week...unfortunately though, this week she is sick. Silas had a cold all last week (runny nose, cough, slight fever) and now Shelby has it (and Shaylee is getting it too). I took Shelby in to the Dr. this morning and now she is on a mucus thinner, as well as breathing treatments (mostly to prevent bronchitis). She doesn't like to take medicine (we are working on different techniques to prevent her from spitting it all back out again) and having her nose suctioned out isn't a highlight of her day either....poor thing! I'll just look at these photos and hope for her to get better real soon!

Shelby doesn't usually like to be on her tummy - however I got these to pictures of her apparently enjoying it. The first one she is on the couch (so I could get a better photo of her at that level) however, I didn't keep her there long as she was ready to roll right off. And then the second picture I found her zonked out under her play jungle. She had been on her back...so apparently she rolled over to her tummy, then couldn't roll back over to her back, so decided a nap was better.

Homework, homework....Shane starting on his travel brochure he had to make for his book report. He read "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis - he was inviting people into the wonderful world of Narnia! He has since finished it and presented it to the class. He did a great job...I'll have to find the completed work and take another photo. And little Miss Shaylee busy writing words. She is doing this on her own - because she WANTS homework. She just loves learning and I'm so glad that she does...it's a joy to work with her on her writing and reading!

Silas is my little knight in shining armor! He was playing around with Shane the other day and when he came into the room looking like this - I couldn't resist a picture.
