some LITTLE autumn fun...

We enjoyed a beautiful, busy fall. Preschool is going great. This year we are focusing on a classic novel each month and the girls are learning how to read. They are indeed, Super Readers! On to the fun.....

LITTLES getting BIG

There they go.... Hannah and Jake are off to school. Second and third grade! Where does the time go?

Yes Day!

The last day of summer has been declared "Yes Day" at the Little House. Pretty much whatever reasonable request is made is granted. This year we went to Wahooz Family Fun Center. The kids had a blast. We also had our annual "Back to School Feast" where we share our favorite books and what we hope to learn the upcoming year in school. Good times....

Back to School Feast

Every kid needs to hear "yes" once in a while.

a LITTLE camping trip

We enjoyed one last get-a-way before summer ended. We went to Baumgartner Campground just past Pine and had a great weekend. The kids were so happy playing outside and we enjoyed the nature trails, the hot spring pool, the swing set, and the river. It was a great trip.

named "Hopper."


Our favorite spot on the river just behind campground

Why catch bugs when you can catch flowers?

Jake was a good sport when Lu drenched him

Clara takes a nap on Daddy

The girls were bored so I told them they could

play restaurant and wash the dishes. They took

our order and fixed up our pretend food before

washing the dishes and cooling off our feet with

water.
