Fast as lightning

Since Jacob has started school a few weeks ago, Emma and I have been entertaining ourselves. She's drawing a very colorful starting line for her one-man race.



She won.


Emma will start school on Tuesday. She's so excited!

Black Widow

Last week, we found a Black Widow living in a hole on
our front porch. She's about to have lunch.



She's trying to get her grasshopper into this little hole.



Nathan read online that if left alone, she will not be agressive.....
with 2 brave kids and a curious puppy, I knew she wouldn't be
'left alone' at all. So, we said a goodbye to our visitor. We did let her have
one last meal though.
