Talk about a major blog update needed! I apologize to all of our faithful blog readers (whomever you may be) for not keeping this blog alive and running. It seems that life has not slowed down enough for me to actually have the time to blog. So, without anymore excuses, here is what we have been up to this past week. I hope you all enjoy!
Last Friday Daddy, some of us children, and some families from church had the opportunity to attend one of the English Country Dances that is near our house. We had a lovely time and even got to learn some new and interesting dances.
Rebecca smiles sweetly for the camera as she waits for the dance to start.
Daddy having a delightful time dancing with Grace.
This is just too cute! Here Becca is trying to teach Zachary the Waltz. She looks pretty confident for not really knowing what she is doing.
Elaina and Nathan are trying to watch Adrianna and Rebecca to see what they are doing wrong.
Now on to the next day which was our monthly Hymn Sing. Here the boys are playing stimulating games of Chess.
Waiting for everyone to arrive so we can start eating.
The Fathers talking, the young men waiting patiently for their food, and the ladies going through the food line.
My lovely parents. <3>

Me - captivating every ones attention as I tell some sort of story.
Now on to Sunday... Rebecca and Elaina love to get self portraits together. :) Two such sweet little girls.
Rebecca, Elaina, and Adrianna with some of their friends from church.
On to Monday now... Here Mom is working hard to get my dad's vest pinned and ready for me to sew. This Saturday is the Liberty Day Celebration so mom and I have been working really hard to get all of our costumes made beforehand. Talk about a lot of costumes to do in such a short time frame!
When one doesn't have any other place to put pins. One always has their mouth. :)
Me sewing up a storm with my amazing sewing machine!
Making sure the ends are fitting together.
The little girls enjoy making clothing for their dolls. Recently they have been making Colonel dresses to go along with the dresses I made for them.
And this ends our little catch up. Next up I will be posting a bunch of pictures from Liberty Day.
May God bless you all this week!
