Camping with the Amish

For Memorial Day weekend we left the city life, the cell phones, and the toliets behind and joined up with the Amish in Lancaster, PA.  This provided a welcomed dose of "family time."

We pitched our tent, made a fire and enjoyed the SLOW pace of life- right in the backyard of an Amish Farm!  It is so great to have Sam around for long weekends.  Camping is at the top of our To Do List!  We had a great time here!

The Amish way of doing buisness

I bet you don't see this in your neighborhood!

Our wonderful Landlord, Don, built an area for us to plant a garden.  He gathered the kids and had them plant all the seeds and tomatoes so they could see how things grow.  Now it's up to us to keep them alive!???  Last year Jarom grew pumpkins, we'll see if we can keep the rabbits, and chipmunks away!  Jen suggested we grow a scare"grow" to scare off the animals.

We Did It!!

A picture says a million words!

A lot of people have asked me how I feel now that Sam has graduated.  Well, this picture sums it all up!  Great work Babe and welcome back!!

Jennica's Dance Recital

Jennica had a busy day!  She had a morning soccer game and then rushed to perform on stage.  It was so fun to see her "feel" so beautiful.  It's amazing what  a huge red feather on your head can do.  I think I ought to wear that thing on a rainy day! 

Happy 3rd Birthday Jace

Happy Birthday to my "Soccer Monster!"

I can't complain about his first 3 years, he has been my little buddy!  I could have a dozen more babies if they turned out like him!

Birthday Boy!
