Joslin and I had a chance to see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at The Columbus CHildren's Theater with our wonderful friend Amy. These are some pictures after the play when we got to meet all the actors.

This was Joslin's first play. She did a great job! (Even when the White Witch was yelling!)

Mr. Tumnus...this is someone Amy knows so we were happy to see him perform. He did a great job!

I think Mr. and Mrs. Beaver were Joslin's favorite characters. She was shy about meeting them but talked about them the most.

There was no convincing Joslin that the White Witch was actually a nice person. We tried to get a picture with her but Jo was having no part of that.

Better late than never.

I am working on posting some pics of the kids. Time...where is the time going? More to come.

Adventures

Saturday morning Jason and Joslin were walking down the driveway and Joslin says "Baby owl! Baby owl!" Jason looked and sure enough- it was an owl although not a baby. It was a screech owl which is pretty small. It was sitting in our driveway looking very disoriented.
We talked with a wildlife rehabilitator and she said to put it in a box. She would meet us in Fredericktown.

Off we went with the owl! Its first car ride! We are hoping it can be rehabilitated and released back at our house. Since it is an adult the rehabilitator prefers to release it back where it was found...in familiar territory. Now we just have to hope he heals up.

The kids were really fascinated with the owl. So cool to see up close.

More from this summer...

Patrick with his dad and grandpa in the truck. Patrick got to shift which he thought was fantastic!

Joslin and Patrick found several of the "Pig and Wolf" statues around Hanover.

Metting up with some friends that moved to Rochester. It was the perfect place to stop on our way to NH. Dinner out, friends to play with. The drive that day was well worth it!

Blazin' hot at the Knox Co. Fair. We couldn't miss the school bus races!

On the way home from a neighborhood music fest...

Watching some cartoons with Sampson.

Where does time go? Kitchen sink Ice Cream treats, the pool, T-ball, wrestling on the couch... Zip, zam, zoom and the summer is over and it is time for school. I have more pictures and stories to share but the formatting of the blog is fighting me. They will have to wait.

Welcome Home

Getting ready to welcome Jason and the group home from D.C. Patrick was so glad to have Jason home.
