I am a little slow on the post, but last week Mari fell off the ottoman and had to get 3 stitches on the inside of her lip. It made for a long day, but overall she handled it well.
Mari waiting patiently for the doctor to check her lip.

Mari’s Stitches
Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011Ledges State Park
Monday, August 22nd, 2011Yesterday we had to take our large, borrowed, dining room table up to Ames and while we were there we decided to go play at Ledges State Park. The main road through the park was washed out, over, under and away in the floods last year, but if you are willing to walk a little bit you can experience beautiful, overgrown, abandoned trails and recreational spots. The kids had a blast!
Homeschooling!
Monday, August 22nd, 2011We are officially homeschooling our kids next year! I just filled out the paperwork and put it in the mail. There are some good school options in Des Moines, but no Waldorf schools, which is where our loyalty lies. It should be quite an adventure and I hope that we can give our kids an education like no other!
Butterfly House
Thursday, August 11th, 2011Mari got a butterfly house for her birthday. We are waiting to order the official caterpillar or caterpillar eggs, or whatever it is we order. In the meantime we have found some caterpillars in our backyard and currently have two Swallowtail chrysalides and two monarch caterpillars who should be about ready. We have all really enjoyed watching them!
Yoga in the Park
Saturday, August 6th, 2011This morning we headed to Yoga in the park at Gray’s Lake. Susan practices yoga occasionally, it was the kids’ second class, and it was my first class ever. We all had a good time and hope to make it back more often.
