We had ourselves a little party out at the New Butler Place…
We were able to introduce Noelle to some of our local friends and co-workers,
and also give them a glimpse of their new home.
Beyond blessed to have our NY church family meet our SC church family.
And who doesn’t love an outdoor party on 10/28?
My friend Catalina met us in Greer early in the morning to take senior pictures for Tabitha. It was a lot of fun. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with!
Johanna went camping on Kings Mountain, and Katriel went camping at Paris Mountain. I did not go to either event… but my friends shared some photos.
the curriculum said we were to make dinosaur puzzles
who are we to argue with our curriculum
Marie had a few days off classes, so we took advantage of the time to visit a little town to our west and try their ice coffee flights.
It was a nice drive and we almost made ourselves sick.
And we were mostly surprised by the ones we liked vs the ones we cared less for.
We were invited to join our friends the Wares for their family’s annual cider making day. In a contraption older than any of us, we expressed gallon about gallon of cider.
Marie, Tabitha, and Nigel had to work, so it was just Johanna and Katriel that joined us.
There are multiple jobs within the process. Someone puts the apples in. Another helps to line them up with the blades. Another turns the gear. Someone has to watch the output bucket where the liquid goes while also keeping their eye on the scrap bucket. Both of these need regular emptying. Then we have to pour it into containers.
Johanna took a turn at each station, and repeated a few of them.
It was such a cool experience.
Noelle’s mom, dad, and brother Connor came for a long weekend.
Dinner. Dessert. Games.
Katriel joined the 66 books of the Bible club tonight by reciting them all in order. ♥
Katriel made an image of herself and Nigel.
