Our Three Ring Circus



At Barnum & Baily's Circus w/ KiKi & Pop


Facepainting! 
Philip is by far the more fun parent ; )

August-September brought a whirlwind of activity, as I know it does for most families.
  • We have officially started "school".  We meet once a week with other homeschooling families to learn in a more structured classroom setting, while learning at home the rest of the week.  Thus far I am very pleased with the routine and the lovely families we have met.  Of course so much of our progress (or lack thereof) depends on my keeping everyone on schedule.  So, I have really come to appreciate that "list-making gene" I inherited from my mother!


Soccer
  • Kylie has begun her first season of soccer! I don't know how good she is yet, but she is DARN cute in those shin guards and tall socks! ; ) Her team consists of 9 little girls called the Butterflies, and they sport turquoise jerseys with matching tie-dyed socks!

Attack that ball!

The team


The Savior
  • Philip has gone and returned from 6 weeks of filming THE SAVIOR in Bulgaria and Jordan.  There is a certain boisterous joy missing in the house when he's not here, so we're glad to get him back!  This film is the long-awaited capstone to a project he has put ten years of his life into.  I am so proud of his work and the many lives it is touching.  I was able to join him for one week in Bulgaria, so here are a few of the pictures I took. 
Philip had a cameo role as the Roman soldier that nailed the sign on Jesus' cross.

The Lady of Freedom in downtown Sofia.  Erected after the fall of Communism.

Natural spring water that comes out in the city square.  People bring jugs of all sizes to fill up.
