Niemans Apple Orchard

Caleb had an early release day so I decided to take the kids Niemans Apple Orchard to pick some apples. It was kind of warm and nothing was really marked for where we could pick. So we ended up just buying a couple of bags that were already picked and took some fun photos while we were there.

I'm not sure I trust him driving that tractor

Beware of the geese!

Honk!!

Schlitz Audubon Nature Center

There was a Saturday that I wasn't feeling super great and just needed some time alone. So Tim took the kids to the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center for a few hours. They enjoyed the view of Lake Michigan, climbing the tour and even climbing the trees! 

I have a few monkeys in the family. :-)

First Days of School (2014)

Caleb started 3rd grade this fall with Ms. Hampton as his teacher. I still can't believe he's old enough to be in 3rd grade!! Seriously, he can stop growing up so fast!

Sonya started 4K at OCS again. She loves Ms. Gantner and especially likes the new teacher's assistant, ME! I'm so excited to be in her classroom every day and see what she's learning. It's a privilege to be a part of educating other students as well. 

Both of the kids:
