Pearce's Farm Stand & Hay Bales

Pearce's Farm Stand opens just before the school year starts.They have many fruits & vegetables. They also have a field stacked with hay bales in maze formation for all kids and adults to enjoy! They also clear paths through a corn field for everyone to walk/run through. Kati LOVES going there! Pearce's Farm Stand is right up the street from Kati's school. Brings on so many mixed emotions. Summer is ending and Fall is right around the corner. My favorite time of the year in Wisconsin is FALL!!! All the Beautiful colors with the leaves changing. The Beauty that GOD has created for us all to enjoy! It's possible we might miss the leaves changing this year for a very special reason. Brings tears to my eyes knowing that next year "Colin" will be enjoying this time of year with us!!!
GOD IS GOOD!!!

Lake Geneva Ice Cream Social Tour...

Kati has been asking to ride the Ice Cream Tour Boat all summer. So, yesterday after church we decided to go. It was a "BEAUTIFUL" day for a boat ride!! Not only do you enjoy ICE CREAM, you also enjoy 1 1/2 hour  boat tour of all the Beautiful homes on Lake Geneva! There's so much history on this lake.

Sewing

Kati's First Day Of Kindergarden Dress...

I wasn't sure whether we would  be at home or in China for Kati's

first day of Kindergarden on Sept. 4th. This Momma was thrilled when we received an email from our agency stating our travel dates, I knew I needed to get busy and sew.

So, last night I stayed up until her first day of Kindergarden oufit was complete! I was SO Thrilled to see her dress complete!!!

I can't beleive our little girl will be starting Kindergarden this year!

Kati will be traveling with us to pick up her little brother "Colin"...she's SO EXCITED!!! She has also put together her own shopping list of things she thinks she would like to buy in China...that's my girl...lol
