Four years later . . . and they're off!

The night before the removal of Nathan's braces.

Four days later Renee Krause took these & other pictures in

Old Falls Village Park for his Senior Pictures

Fall is here

This is the last daisy of the season.

Photo taken for Tonya for whom the flowers were planted:)Jenna and Elise twirling at the park near CrossWay Church

First day of school

Nathan and neighbor, Brian begin their senior year - where have the years gone??

Jenna begins 8th grade and Elise 5th grade.

Elise's recital

Elise has been taking voice lessons this past year and recently participated in a recital.

She sang five songs - I'll just post two of them:)

"Castle On A Cloud" from "Les Miserables"

"It's a Hard Knock Life" from "Annie"

Strawberry Picking

Lydia all ready to pick those juicy strawberries!
Hard at work

I think she's studying each one:)

Done - ready to turn some of those berries into jam and freeze the rest.

Lydia hulled all 38 pounds. Thanks, Lyd!

Nathan and Evan's shinanigans

While Pastor Jason and his family were gone over Memorial Day weekend, Nathan, Evan, Jacob McClain and a few others set this "lawn ornament" on his lawn. Jason got a big kick out of it and used it on Sunday for an illustration. They removed it shortly after he arrived home.
Aint it grand?

The yard gets a face lift!

Bushes from back removed

(now we need to remove the old dishwasher from the side!!)

evergreens from around River Birch removed

Huge pine that had its top lopped off removed
(see the pretty sunset in the background?)

pine bush removed from around lamp post

Suggestions welcome for ideas to replace open areas. I like it plain, but would

like to add a bit here and there. With the ideas, help is also welcome:)
