Sept. 2011

Greetings and Peace, As I am reflecting on these past few months, what worked what didn't. What to add or take away next semester i began to look at the family photos. We had a lot going on in September, but it was a great start to a new "academic" year. I say that in quotes because we are always engaged in learning. However, this is around the time that we do, along with most others get a little more schooly. Well, that really didn't happen until Oct but y'all get the picture.

Mom, really? (Aminah ran off so i couldn't capture her on the makeshift tables.)

Yes, that is my leather Ethan Allen couch on top of the garage. Maybe I should have hired professional movers. Seriously, Thanks Again to a few of the men folk in my family that helped us move.

This is the first of many times I had to figure out where the chickens laid their eggs. Children were/are not great with this task. As you can see they just pile up until I am thinking, is it time for stew? And go out in search for myself. Everybody gotta earn they keep.

Not greatest picture of me but I am usually behind the camera so one of the only pictures of me. Obviously I am tired.

Getting of the grid for a week. It bees like that sometime.

Catching lizards, water spiders and such.

I think this is us headed to glass beach.

How do you make the Actual Facts and all other subjects come alive? Take a trip to the Pacific Ocean.

Enjoying time on the beach after a hike.

"I wasn't sleep!"

Yep, another stash.

And they got to go see their GREATgrandmother. All Praises Due to Allah!

 

 

In Nasir's geography book we read about in the Artic men cut holes in the ice so that they can fish. He said he didn't understand so we made an ice-e to show him how it works.
