Summer already seems to be flying by too fast. But are we ever staying busy!
It's been nothing short of glorious.

The epitome of manliness: Andrew off to build stuff.
He marched out of the house singing "I've Been Working on the Railroad" at the top if his lungs.

I babysat my cousin's kid.
We sat in my living room, and stared awkwardly at each other for several minutes. Then, because I couldn't think of anything else to do, I grabbed my camera and took a picture.

Apparently, she thought that was pretty funny. Thanks to the icebreaker, we got along just fine afterward.

I've been all sorts of crafty this week.
For example, I bought this thrift store table with a vision. The transformation turned out BEAUTIFULLY...but you'll have to stay tuned for the reveal in another post.

We bought thirteen trees on Saturday at 5 dollars a piece. Not a bad deal, I'd say...even at itty-bitty heights of 3-6 feet tall. Poplar, red maple, spruce, and chokecherry.
We'll get them into our new piece of ground this fall.

I consider myself a pretty good teacher. I get those third graders whipped into shape in no time! But handling three-year-olds is a whole different ball game. This sunbeam calling has been really, really hard for me.
It's my experience that you have a calling as long as it takes for you to love it. Then you get released.
I plan to learn to love this calling real fast.

And of course, this week's progress on the house.

Footings have been poured.
