It has been a busy month! The weekend after we got back, we had a surprise party for my mom's 50th Birthday. She was very surprised and we all had a really nice time.
We've also been getting into a routine for homeschooling. For science we've been studying spiders and insects. Here are pics of the kids creations - Sam's spider, Layne's Mommy and Baby ant, and Josie's Insect cycle - egg, larva(caterpillar), pupa, and adult (butterfly).
We also celebrated Adrian's birthday (sorry no pics) and Layne's 5th birthday. We had little party on her birthday and then had a Tea Party the following weekend with the family.
Sam has started Hockey lessons.
And finally we've been able to have some "real" family bike rides (on actual bike trails - bike trails are few and far between in Lubbock) While on one of our rides, a little dog followed us about 4 miles home. Josie of course wanted to keep him, but there was just no way!
The weather has been great!! We didn't realize how much we had missed the Indiana fall weather - cloudy with rain, then sunny with a cool breeze, and the beautiful changing leaves. We love it! Last weekend we went to the apple orchard/pumpkin patch. It was great!
And because of all the rain, we've had a lot of grass to mow. Sam has started to help - at this point he still thinks it's fun!
While we do miss a few things about Lubbock, It's good to be back home!
