He is home!!

Back from the week in Texas.  Brandon arrived tonight (beef jerky in hand) and we celebrated with champs, blueberries & ginger ale.

Food

Sweet potato cupcakes with cream cheese frosting 

(Berkley dyed red), 

chocolate chip brownies & 

second batch of homemade yogurt

When we are sick we...

Make pancakes for breakfast 

and then refuse to eat them.

 Drink juice on the step

 and ask for another cup.

Put on extra layers

 and then take them off when mama isn't looking.

Practice climbing steps 

and think we are really big...

 especially when we make it to the top.

We give our lion cuddles all over the house.

Sunday night s'mores

Pictures below from Sunday night s'mores on our back patio. Brandon and Berkley went exploring for an hour in our woods after dinner.  They found critters, fallen trees, and got dirty.  What could be better?  Lastly, Berkley played the piano and serrenaded us with his favorite songs (Jesus Loves the Little Children, Hey Diddle Diddle & The Itsy Bitsy Spider).  Brandon leaves tmrw for the week in Texas.  Berkley is already talking about adding another state magnet to his collection.  xo
