Sarah picked a couple Morning Glory's yesterday and then looked in one to see this white spider dragging a honey bee by the back of the neck! Wow! It's wonderful to see God's creatures doing what He created them to do.

Reenacting Summer 2011
Beware! There are lots of pictures taken of the cutest little girls in the world and their auntie! Just to warn you a head of time in case the shock of it is too much for you! :-)
My family and I spent a wonderful weekend at a Civil War reenactment and since I took hundreds of pictures I thought I really should post some on my long forgotten blog.
Lydia helping Nathaniel
My sweet sister! She's 5 1/2 now and growing like a weed!
I love camp fire scenes!
Emma held by Grace H. Two such pretty girls!
Sarah, Emma and Lydia watching the soldiers march by
Such cuties!!!!
Our "neighbors" camp.
Molly happily snuggled in her grandpa's arms.
Faith and Lydia playing checkers
Frocks, frills and little girl's toes!
Molly likes her mama! Aw! (Molly is wearing a dress I made for Lydia when she was a baby! It's wonderful to see the dresses being used again!)
Lydia having tea with her friends
Heather peeling potatoes for dinner. They were sooooo yummy cooked over an open fire.
Emma slept in my dad's arms for over an hour and a half! He tried to lay her down but she cried and said "Grandpa!" and jumped back into his arms and promptly fell asleep once again. She likes her grandpa!
Eating dinner
Our soldier boys tending the fire....or waiting for it to get going so they can tend it!
In the cool of the evening the battle begins! Brother against brother! The big brother won but it did take a while! David and Taylor were hard at it.
Bath time for 2 dirty girls! They had so much fun in the tub and smelled so nice and sweet when they were done!
The guys played Town Ball in the evening and us girls cheered whoever was batting or running!
Me with Emma!
"Awww!"
Our first family picture since Molly was born!
David and his growing family!
Our soldiers are firing their muskets at once!
Taylor is in the blue kepi left of the center
David and his friend were in the hospital demonstration. They both did a great job and it was really touching to see Thomas worrying about David and David writhing in pain.
His hand....yikes!
They couldn't save his hand and it was amputated....
Now for the boys wrestling match!
Hands and feet! Who will get the stick???
Lovely ladies talking in the cool of the shade tree.
Molly fell asleep in her Auntie Gracie's arms! Oh what bliss it is to hold a sleeping baby!
Ben, Nathaniel and Joshua watching the soldiers march off to battle.
Molly sporting her grandpa's kepi! She looks rather proud of herself, doesn't she? I do believe she has the cutest little face ever!
The long weekend wore her out and now she's happily sleeping in her mama's arms.
