Written on the top of our home schools education plan are the following words,
"Psalm 25: 4-5. Make
me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead
me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I
wait all the day long."
We picked this text to go forward with this past September as we gave up summer and dove into fall with it's routines and activities. I had lower expectations than the year before remembering that math and writing did need some review instead of jumping in whole hog and then feeling like you fell off a cliff only to have to slowly climb back up full of aches and pains. And thankfully, a few curriculum changes and some good old positive character studies later, we are happily enjoying these beautiful days of "discipling" and play. The kids have fallen into routine and we are almost always guaranteed to be finished by lunch time so there's lot of time for recreation and imagination. This season Seth is in grade 4, Tristan grade 3 and Rowan kindergarten.

This fall marked 4 years of Alberta in our lives! Celebrations were required, which meant a good reason for ice cream at Costco ;)
Fall 2017 was nothing extraordinary for me. After a hot summer winter jumped in with a vengeance and we had alot of snow and cold which meant I was stuck inside alot with the little girlies since they don't do too well in the cold windy weather. And to be honest I didn't feel like doing anything outside either. So we did alot of sewing, reading, cleaning, crafting and cooking. We also took the kittens in the house to change things up a little 😀. And who can resist a kitten and little girls?
Marla keeps changing and growing and we really can't get enough of her joy and cheerfulness. She's the sweetest little thing, but doesn't miss a beat and pushes her way into the middle of whatever we are doing. There's rarely a moment when she isn't making someone smile! We so love Marla-girl.

| Marla is everyone's live doll |
 |
| The little feet under the little bum. So adorable, even if I am biased. |
 |
| I'm sewing these girls more dresses than they need 😜 but it's Oh So Fun! |
And then of course bath time. Sometimes rushed, sometimes lazy... either way, a great way to clean up and calm down before bed.
Nothing like cuddles from your very own baby wrapped in a cozy towel. She
may be a Daddy's girl!
