More of our Weekend

This past weekend we not only had fun with family we made new freinds. We had the privilege of meeting Vanessa's ( Stephen' sister) beau. Clayton braved coming and visiting us with our family of eight and mom and four of hers. We liked him instantly. He is a great guy. Isabella might have liked him too much ;) She had known him for about 30 minutes and looked at him and said " Clayton, I LOVE you." I turned red but he handled it very well :D Vanessa wasn't able to come but here are some of her senior pictures with both of them.  We are really looking forward to getting to know him better.

This is one of the projects Aunt Annie and Isabella did together.

Today family left and we worked on getting back on schedule. We tried to get school done . . . it was one of those homeschool days where I was trying to teach one multiplication with a double digit in both factors, then one would hit another one in the head and while I was trying to comfort the hurt one the baby would start screaming etc. . . If that sounds confusing it's because it is. All in all the kids did get a lot done though. I am hoping for a peaceful evening taking it easy.  We will see how that goes ;)
