We are HERE! We are Here. We are Here!


Well, it is our first year of homeschool and we are enjoying it, so far!



We have a funny, enthusiastic kindergartener.
She wants to be a mathematician when she grows up.
Just like Dad.




And we also have a 2nd grader who knows how things work at school.
She's learning a lot of history and is pretty patient with me as I figure out how I want things to work.



Aren't they cute?



We have been pleasantly surprised with how well our garden did this year.  We actually harvested some of our red and orange peppers this year!!  We have also had more cherry tomatoes than even Lucy and Brig can eat. Lucy loves picking them whenever she has a chance.  We had enough tomatoes for 2 batches of salsa, jalapeƱos, sweet peas, zucchini and yellow squash, and as you can see, cantaloup.  Our most recent surprise was a delicious watermelon that we picked yesterday.  
It is funny how much satisfaction can come from growing things you can use.



The ducks like the handouts.


We have enjoyed learning about the lily pads at Longwood Gardens.
