Allelujah

This video is from July 30th, but I was just going through our videos, and thought this one would be a good one to post!  As you can tell, Dominic has done a great job paying attention at mass!:)

Summer & Fall

FYI: If you click on the photos, you can look through them with a larger view.

One of our collections from our garden

We had more tomatoes than what we knew what to do with them!

Gram and Grandpa Muir visited us in August!  They brought the boys a soccer net, soccer balls, whistles, and that "Captain" arm band on Dominic's leg.  They loved it.

John loved just dribbling the ball.

Ice cream stop!

Dominic loves to shave with this Dad:)

Our trip up to the U.P. in early September.  Kids are so sweet sleeping, aren't they!?  This probably lasted about 30 minutes of the 8 hour drive......

Really cool foggy day in Iron Mountain....visiting a nearby lake "Bad Waters," I think is the name.

On our way home from the U.P. we stopped near the Macinaw bridge to snap some photos.

We have been having a TON of bonfires in our backyard lately.  The kids love it, and they have lots to do to help Joe.  They love throwing in paper and twigs.

They also loved sawing wood.  They are actually really good at it!

This is often what we find the kids doing lately....playing with the gas lawn equipment....we hope its safe;)  They always want to have their "Ear protection" on whenever they are near them or lawn mowers.

Dominic has actually been blowing leaves for us.  He does an excellent job!  I can't believe he's only 3 and doing things like that.  It's really cute to watch.

One day at snack time....Dominic pulled up a chair next to John so they could sit by each other.

More bonfires!

Here Dominic is actually blowing leaves!

Here we are at the Cider Mill!  Donuts, hot cider, animals, playground, and kid tractors! What could be better?!

This barn is a play structure inside.

Here, the kids can push that blue button, and a voice tells them the story of different nursery rhymes..."3 little pigs" at the pig pen, etc.

Going for a walk in woods nearby in fall.

Northville homecoming parade.  The kids (and me!) were very excited about the people throwing candy!  We made sure they picked up a fair share!

LOTS of leaf raking going on in this neck of the woods lately.  Loads of fun, though.

This is our front yard.
