Well, it is still very busy around here.  I am going to mostly do a picture tour of the last couple of weeks.

For those of you that live up north you may giggle at the improper English I am about to use.  Here is a pic of the day it was leafing.  Yes, leafing.  If I said leaving it would not bring the right idea to the picture.  Like snowing this picture depicts the closest thing we have here leafing.  :-) 

Here are a few great pics of Aubrey Joshua and yes, that is me, the mom, taken by our new friend Kim (the happy new owner of these beautiful goats).

        I am trusting that you can figure out who is who

Next we have a very few images to remember the Russo’s trip.  I knew I missed her but  :-( saying goodbye again was very yucky.

Anyway, this first shot is of Aubrey feeding one of our baby goats with John David, Max and Zakita ”helping”. 

Next we find Rob and Jason just hanging out as far away from woman talk as possible.     Max and Peter seemed to pick up where they left off.     Finally, we have Jessica and Mara.  Face it this photo leaves no doubt that Mara really is Amber Heard’s big sister.  If you do not know who Amber Heard is please have all small children leave the room and that includes most especially husbands, so as to not lead them into sin, and google the movie “Never Back Down” or “Amber Heard”.      

OK, next, Jessica’s rabbits had babies, wooohoooo!  However, 2 were still born :-(  and at the same time why would this sad even be both sad and happy you ask?  Well, the sad is obvious.  The happy however, is something I think many homeschooling moms and science teachers would understand….free dissection day.  Sadly my camera was not there so this image was snagged from Jessica’s site (http://faustinafarm.com/blog/)    

On our next Walbridge visit I brought a new Webster “educational” thing from Crayola http://www.crayolastore.com/product_detail.asp?T1=CRA+98%2D8630  The kids all crowded around to take turns. 

 Now finally we come to the end.  Here are a few pictures inspired by my best pal Kirsten on her blog http://www.sonlightgarden.com/my_weblog/2008/03/prayer-at-the-s.html    I have to admit that I have been up to date on the dishes ever since.  Thank you my friend.  Here is a close up of the bottom right area.  It features two more of Tammy’s beautiful statues http://catholicfolktoys.com/ .  The one on the left is St. Francis the one on the right St. Roch.  The awesome “fish tank in between them is Mommy’s Sea Monkeys http://www.sea-monkeys.com/.  My dad bought me my first Sea Monkey family probably 28 years ago.  I still love them.  In the picture if you click on it to enlarge I have circled one small visible Sea Monkey.  I am afraid the image is not clear enough to identify it as male or female.  

Well, dinner is ready and the troops claim they are on deaths door needing sustenance.  Have a great week and I hope to write again very soon.  Here is a clue to my next post… http://www.floridamuseum.org/current_ex.html
