Good Friends
Ok, I promised more pictures of the Ward/Shideler kids. Well, I finally got Allen to help me with a problem getting the pictures in the right place so I could upload them. I think we've got it solved so enjoy the great memories!
Kentucky Life
Today we had some very interesting learning experiences. It was Ag. Day at Murray State and our homeschooling group went. For us "City folk" this was a great way to learn about farming and agriculture. We learned about all sorts of things. Including: Soybeans...what we do with all those soybeans they grow, From Farm to Food, Bee keeping & why bees are important to agriculture, safety on the farm with power lines, tractors and ATV's. Animal health, forestry & wildlife and how they interact/relate to Agriculture and soil and soil erosion. Well, we learned quite a bit and had a good time. Here are a couple pictures of my two city kids on the tractor!!

Family Update
Ok, It's been almost a month since I've done any work on my blog. I do have a few things to run down as to what's been going on.
First: We still really miss our friends the Shidelers. They are doing well in OK and seem to be slowly beginning their new life there, for which I'm very grateful.
Second: Our friends the Crabbs, will be leaving us as well. They are moving back to Iowa sometime in the next month or so. We will miss them a lot as well. Also, they are happily anticipating the coming of baby #4!! I can't wait to see if it's a boy or girl!
Third: My siter & her husband are moving to the Dallas area! I'm a little jealous, but so happy for them! Jaret starts in a couple weeks and Susan & Madison hope to join him by the first of November at the latest. My sister is also expecting baby #2! We will hear more if this one is a boy or girl on Monday! During a sneak peak, they have their suspisions it's a boy.
Fourth: This school year seems to be going well. We are staying very busy keeping on top of it all. Nicole is doing well with her new reading program and I'm very grateful for that. Nathan is plugging along with his work and has started Latin this year!
Fifth: We are all doing well. We are enjoying the new football season. Nicole is still doing gymnastics and Nathan will start UpWard Basketball again in January. Other than that, it's just the everyday stuff going on.
Well, I think that should about catch you up on everything here.
