Hello,


Yesterday we went to the McCullough Library in North Bennington and the Bennington Library in Bennington. We had no idea, but the Bennington Library's open house was that day. The library was a little bit more crowded than usual, but there were snacks and Seth got his picture taken with Eco, the traveling Moose statue.





Jacey joined the Battenkill Chorale and enjoyed the first rehearsal. They are singing Brahms Requiem in German; it is a stunning piece of music.
After lunch we're going to go down to a park in Bennington to have a 'play-day' and meet some new home-schoolers. Hopefully we'll meet some like-minded friends.
We miss you all.

Hello Everyone!

Daddy left this evening for a business trip. We'll miss him very much and can't wait till he gets back.

Ian had his first soccer practice this evening. He really enjoyed it and is looking forward to his game on Saturday.

Before Daddy left for Colorado, he and Mom went to Fort Edward to register the cars and get New York Licenses.

The biggest news of all is that Holden is finally taller than Jacey, by a quarter of an inch.

We miss you all!

Hello everyone,
Sorry there have been very few up-to-date pictures. We really haven't done much worth taking pictures of, and the stuff we have done that would be great for pictures, we forget all the cameras.
Today Jacey and Mom worked on getting some pictures taken of some merchandise for their Esty store and posted a few items.
Daddy took the boys fishing down on the Walloomsac and the Hoosick Rivers. Holden caught two fish, and Ian didn't catch any. Perhaps that's why it's called fishing, not catching.
Jacey took apart an old hand-me-down dress to make a new pattern.
After the boys got home, Holden and Ian played Lord of the Rings:Return of the King on Holden's GameCube and beat a level or two.
After a dinner of calzones, we had chocolate muffins with chocolate icing. The icing was a little more purpleish-black, than brown because we made it from mixing all the leftover icing together to get a brown of sorts. We then added cocoa powder to the icing. It was interesting.
We miss you all and hope you all can come out to see us soon!

Hello everyone,
Not much has been happening here.
We went up to the archery range and shot our bows last night. Holden is sharing Mom's bow now Daddy's bow is working again.
We also had movie night last night and watched Benji the Hunted. Mom and Dad both fell asleep and only Seth really enjoyed it.
This morning the boys helped Dad with Zora's pasture and Jacey and Mom ran to a few Tag Sales, as the yard sales are called here. They found a few Christmas presents for some people and a few books. They also found a great trigger release for Jacey to use with her bow.
We miss you all.

Hello,
There really hasn't been much going on here to blog about.
Daddy played Volleyball tonight and his team won.
The boys have been doing school. Nothing exciting there.
Jacey is studying for the Analyzing and Interpreting Lit. CLEP test and the U.S. History II test right after that one.
It hasn't rained alot, but it is getting colder already. A few of the trees are starting to turn colors and it is in the lower fifties to mid-forties at night.
We are going on a hike with a the Crisses and maybe another family. Perhaps we'll make some friends in our area.

We miss you all.
Your Friends,

P.S. Is it just me, or does 'blogging' sound like slogging and struggling through something deep and gooey? -Jacey

Hello all,
The blogging from now on has the potential to be a bit sparce due to a keyboard that is acting up and shorting out.
Yesterday we had the Wilde's over. They have five children under the age of twelve, so it was a little busy here, but we all still had fun. Justin brought his little dirt bike and Daddy and Mr. Wilde fixed the chain. After that the boys had fun riding on it. Jacey read umpteen stories to Kayla, the four year old, and made a necklace and bracelet with Rhianna, the five year old. Rhianna and Seth had fun riding Seth's electric four-wheeler around the yard. Rhianna said that Seth has hair like hers. They do look like they could be siblings.
The best part of hte night was probably desert. Mr. Wilde made an AWESOME home-made cheesecake. It was REALLY good.
Jacey took her CLEP test this morning. She'll get her results in a few weeks. We had to drive through 3 states to get to BCC (Berkshire Community College). New York, where we live, Vermont, and part of Massachusetts.
On the way back we stopped at Balancing Rocks State Park in MA. It was pretty neat. The rocks have a lot of graffiti on them, but the trails seemed really nice.

We miss everyone SOOO much and can't wait till we see you all next.

Your Friends,
