Happy Thanksgiving 2014

Hallowe'en at Greenfield Village

Last night we went to our annual trip to Hallowe'en at Greenfield Village.  This year Grammy and Papa Tom joined us.  Here are some of our memories:

Halloween Thru the Years

Mommy found this free program online that allowed her to do a fun collage of our different Halloween costumes.  And here it is!

Another found pic from the Tigers Game.  Papa Tom took it!

Tigers Game - Found Pictures

Mommy realized she neglected to upload pictures of us at our FIRST Tigers Game back on May 8th, 2014.  We went to the game with Grammy and Papa Tom, Emma, Aunt Kelly, and Aunt Kelly's friend, Eric.

Here are a few of the photos:

June is Busting Out All Over!

This month we continued to learn, but it is what Mommy calls, "summer homeschool."  Reading and Geography are the two subjects we mostly focus on, and it really has become exciting to see where we travel next.  We are learning about the Fifty Nifty United States, and are using curriculum from Highlights.  We have a reading challenge as well.  For 30 days we are reading for minutes - Evie 600 and me 900.  Anthony is participating too, and he has 600 minutes like Evie.

We also have a dove family that had babies at the end of May and they left their nest in the first week of June.  However, they are back again, and hopefully we can enjoy watching the second group of babies mature.

Here are some of the fun photos:
