Lighthouse Puzzle

Grandma Sanneke gave us a puzzle of the Lighthouses on the Great Lakes after we visited a lighthouse on our Michigan vacation. We had a rainy Sunday last weekend and decided it was time to put it together. We started after lunch with the five of us, Noah left after a few minutes after a few hours Tristan, Calvin, and I needed a bit of a break, while Robert kept plugging ahead. By supper time we all came back to help Robert finish up, just in time for the picture.




First Day of School

Wednesday, September 3

All three boys are heading off to school today. Tristan starts 4th grade, Calvin 1st, and Noah starts preschool. We were outside taking pictures when Noah's school bus arrived 20 minutes early. Probably a good thing, because it all happened so quickly I didn't have time to dwell on the fact that my little Noah is getting on a school bus.



All three boys came home happy and tired after their first day of school.

Rancocas State Park



Our last weekend before school starts. We decided to explore one of the many State Parks in New Jersey. We decided on Rancocas State Park. It's a small, wooded park on the Rancocas River. We are all sad to see our summer vacation end, it's been such a nice summer.
