Seems like a long time since I last posted! We have been busy the last while! The first weekend in March found us in Virginia. We had a family auction for David's grandparents things. We did not tell anyone we were coming, so it was fun to surprise David's family! We came home with a whole lot more things than when we left! (:
Rissa has been doing good. She came to me in a panic the other evening cause her nail was sticking straight up in the air! It was not long till it was off, so it now looks better since her nail had been so dark.

"If only my legs were longer"! Excuse the pink sunglasses, he found them. (:
Jenny has really picked up on reading and she enjoys it. I found it fun to watch the 'learning to read' process.
Hungry and anxious for Daddy's yummy pizza
Story-time last week was about birthdays- very fitting for Rissa and Treyton this month!
Rissa is trying to turn over a new leaf since she is "getting bigger" (stopping the nail biting)
We went on a field trip yesterday to a plantation, it was very interesting. The time had gotten changed, and I somehow missed the info, so we missed out on touring with our home-school group. But it worked out, we got our own exclusive tour, and the tour guide showed us things that she didn't show the group! (:
The house was HUGE
The entry-way/ballroom
The bluffs way out are in Georgia
This is a painting that one of the owners looted/stole from a church in Mexico
A bathtub. Someone would pour water over you while you sat on the little seat, the water would flow out the drain hole into a bucket. As the bucket got filled, the water got dumped out the window. Guess there was no such things as a relaxed, private bath those days!
One of the slave houses. This particular plantation had 300 slaves. The houses had two separate living quarters in them, usually up to ten people in each side! The food ration consisted of fatback and cornmeal.
When kids were old enough to work, their job was carrying water to the fields.
A unique tree
Trey's favorite part, lunch!
