While Jordy was away.....

As some of you know, our oldest daughter, Jordyn, was in Florida with a friend for a week. Well, while she was away the fun times didn't stop. I will say, though, that everyone cried when she left and we were jumping for joy upon her return.

We had fun, Jordy, but it still wasn't the same without you.

The Collins came over for a play day before school started. The kids had so much fun. Steven and Camden played really well together(sorry boys I didn't get a picture). As you can see, you can take the kids out of Haiti but you can't take Haiti out of the kids. ; ) They had a blast teaching Alexis how to wash clothes.


Madelyn went on a small adventure, but quickly decided it wasn't as fun as she anticipated.


Alexis and Mia got to have a girls' night out with Aunt Linda. I took their picture before they left for the CD signing of Mission 6. Such beautiful sisters aren't they? As you can see, I relaxed Mia's hair. I had no idea it would be so straight, but it is darling on her and she loves it!!


Hope is our little comic. She is always cracking us up with something she says or does. At the same time, she is just so beautiful. She is the queen at Crenglish right now. Things like...."M' pa cry" and "I'm grangou."
We are still picking. Hope LOVES to pick green beans, but doesn't LOVE eating them so much. We have picked grapes, made grape juice & jam, we picked apples and are planning to make apple butter, appie pies, and maybe stewed apples. I have 3 apple trees and they are loaded, so if you can make it with apples we are going to try. ; )


Jordyn was home, obviously, for this last shot. Fortunately, she made it in time for the apple picking or we would have never been able to reach those good ones. You know the ones that are higher than 4 feet. ; )
