There just hasn't been too much going on that I felt was really blog-worthy. My husband has finished school, and so we have just been taking it easy and enjoying each other's company. It is a really nice change of pace from the frantic, stressful schedule of assignments and exams and classes to which we had all become accustomed (because when a single man studies, he may study alone, but when a married father of four-and-a-half studies, it is a team effort).

For a little while, we are able to be at home, together, as a family. We have no deadlines to meet and very few obligations. One benefit of this is the ability to pick up, at just about any time, and go do something fun. Because we are on a tight budget, this is also usually something free. Recently Daddy took all four children to the park near where we live. He documented the fun with photos. :-)

Benjamin is becoming a little man. He really is. Here's proof:






He even thinks he's big 'nuff to get away for a while.


Grace is mostly grown up, but she is still about 25% baby. :-) Don't tell her I told you that, though.



Mae and Grace obviously traded dresses this day.


Jonathan. :-) Not too old to have fun!




Hmm, what are they trying to say about Benjamin??


This looks like trouble...


Picking on the little guy:


"Mae, I want my dress back now!!"


Well, guys, time to go home!


There ya go, Moey. You complain that your blog posts are boring -- TAKE THAT!!!
