The Latest Project

Nathaniel got a shed to keep the kids' bikes, scooters, and miscellaneous.  It took most of the weekend to assemble.  Malachi helped a bunch, and Elijah and Pilot put in a few hours, too.  Unfortunately, Elijah got a scrape from some old chicken wire and had to get a tetanus shot, but in the end, we have a new shed:

I am happy to have a new shed, but I am even happier that Nathaniel and Malachi were able to work together for several hours over two days.  

 

Also, yesterday Lydia signed the book and got a youth Bible to prepare for her confirmation next spring.  And lastly, a cute picture:

 

New "Toy"

 

I told Nathaniel that I was thinking about renting a chipper, since we have so many branches around here, and I really want some mulch.  Last year, we bought 18 yards of mulch.  I have no idea how many branches you need to chip to get that kind of volume, but I suppose we will be finding out.  Nathaniel got on facebook marketplace and bought a gently used chipper, so I think this coming weekend, I will be making some mulch.

Currently

 We've finally gotten everyone healthy (for now).  Today, Pilot got to compete in a TaeKwonDo tournament. 

It was a lot of fun to watch, and I got to enjoy it.  There's not enough room there for all of us to watch (I had to stand for 2 hours behind people in a crowded area), so Nathaniel stayed home with everyone else.  

Recently, Emry and Gyunay ran across some of Malachi's old video game drawings:

(This picture is sideways.)  They have enjoyed them, and they started making some of their own.

Gyunay likes to read to Panther.  Panther doesn't seem too into it, but Gyunay doesn't seem to mind!
