I am enjoying taking care of Benjamin, tutoring, babysitting, and crafting and baking at home. Fall is probably my favorite time of year to be in the kitchen baking yummy treats with ingredients like pumpkin, apples, and caramel. I recently found a recipe for heavenly salted caramel sauce, which made a great topping for this Apple Harvest cake!
When Benjamin takes his naps, I have some time to prepare for my first experience selling at the Bethany Craft Fair (November 15). Among other things, I am knitting these little lamb ornaments/toys. Benji likes to play with the ones dangling over his crib:
Speaking of Benji, he is growing, smiling, laughing, and keeping us thoroughly entertained! This fall he has been developing friendships...
...surviving his 4 month vaccinations...
...playing with Daddy...
...helping Mommy with the laundry...
... and discovering new toys!
Jonathan is having a good year teaching so far. He has continued to develop his class website and standards-based grading system. Last week, the high school had a big day of service in the community. Jonathan's class went to volunteer at the Red Rock Care Center. At the end of the day, all the students came back together to share their experiences. In the second picture below you can also catch a glimpse of the lovely fall weather we've been enjoying!
This week is very exciting because Mom, Dad, Emily, and Caroline are coming to visit! We can't wait to see them!!
