Surprise!

God is so good! This motorhome is a gift from Grandma Becky Behymer Layton and Grandpa Terry! It's a fun project for Christy, and I foresee much more comfortable camping in my future.😁 Our hearts are filled with gratitude!!

Big Woods State Park

The boys sure enjoy hiking Big Woods State Park! The waterfall is always a hit! I still can't believe that all this beauty is only about a 10 minute drive from our house. I'm so glad we found it!

Reggie the Rooster

Meet the newest member of our flock: Reggie the Rooster! Our laying hens are still getting used to him. The kids are so excited, and I'm looking forward to sweet morning wake-up calls.🌄

Cozy & Content

History, science & storytime by the fire on a chilly day. The kids love it, and so do I!🔥

Interior Refresh

My sweet hubby spent quite a bit of time this summer transforming our main living area from dull and drab to cozy, warm & inviting! I love it! We now have plenty of space to store books, homeschool curricula & DVD's. School starts tomorrow for us! Christy started a couple of weeks ago. Her classes are online this semester, but she goes into town a few times a week since our Internet isn't that great out here. We miss her when she's gone. I'm thankful for our family time and a nice place to enjoy each other!

Starting to Harvest

The big haul from this morning! It was a little chilly. Sweet corn in the sacks, and we're still waiting on quite a few more potatoes, carrots & butternut squash. They might be ready sometime around the first frost. The kids had fun helping! Now on to shredding, dicing, canning, and otherwise preserving. 😁

Sunny Outlook
