Remember Me this Way...

SO much going on, and TODAY is Henry's Birthday!  Our little boy is the sweetest on his birthday, he shares and he thanks, he wants everyone to feel the joy he feels.  In honor of my Henry, here are some pics of what has been happening these past weeks.

Big kids love catching toads.

Peter not so much.

Henry with a "sharp sharp sword" and shield.

always creating something!

Big brother love.

Papa reads to everyone while Mama finishes cooking.

John hangs out in the grass while Mama works in the garden.

Farmer Boy.

She couldn't keep still for a pic she was so excited about her first day of school!

Henry is learning to read and write!

Homeschooling has been such a delight!  The hardest part is keeping Peter happy and occupied and not tackling everyone durring lessons. The boys have taken to wrestling and love it.  But then Margaret Mary joins in and pins them both.  The girl can defend herself!

Such a delight John is.

Papa kisses.

"Kids, who has been erasing my white board?"  Peter-caught in action!

Fall in the air, a sweet baby in my arms; life is good.

"Who has been unstacking the wood pile?"  Peter caught in action again.  But how can you get mad when he looks so cute?

Trying to be intentional about being in front of the camera. 

MM says she asks God to make her a good violin player :)

Baby John is such a snuggler.  He loves listening to his Papa's heartbeat.

Seeding the pasture! Finally!  We can't wait to see some green!

Everyone is happy on Henry's birthday!

Peter looks so old and handsome when he isn't whining and crying (he's 2).
