Moments

I don't have many new pictures... but hope to post a couple tomorrow.
As for now, there are a few moments I want to record so I don't forget them.

1. Abby running around in the backyard with an orange from our fruit tree in her mouth. Not because she is trying to get a snack, but because she is so tennis ball obsessed.

2. The sound of "clink, clink, crack, crack, clink" outside yesterday. I walked out to see what was going on and there were the kids with a pile of small rocks.
Each of them had a large stone and they were making arrowheads and cutting tools out of stone by smacking the edges of the little rocks with the large ones. Interesting....

3. The warm, quiet house this morning with coffee brewing and the kids working quietly at the kitchen table. Although homeschooling is supposed to be temporary, only until seats are available for them at the half day charter school, we could grow too attached to this to switch. It is amazing how quick and how pleasant teaching is when you only have one or two kids to teach. Collin enjoys the structure and loves working alongside "sister".

4. The interesting conversation Kayla and I had after discovering that Lucy had gone in to heat yesterday. An employee at PetSmart told us that it would be dangerous for Lucy to go out of the house now that she has her period, but not to worry because it only happens twice a year.
Kayla had a comment and a question about that. "Is it safe for human girls to go out of the house when they have their period?" And, "it's not fair that that happens to humans every month and only twice a year to dogs. Did God mess up?"
