I want to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes for my daughter Serena.
You are all so sweet!
School has started back at our house. We are back to a schedule so my time in blog land is a bit more limited right now. I will do a post on how we started homeschooling sometime in the future. I am now beginning my 16th year of homeschooling, and I still continue to learn new things.
Summer is still apparent around here too. It's warm, and will probably stay that way for a few more weeks.
I came across these old photos recently and thought they'd make a nice end-of-summer post.
A reminder of the simple summers of our past.
The little girl is me, along with my brother Kevin.
I just love the load of white laundry hanging in the background.
I just love the load of white laundry hanging in the background.
Don't look too close though, I think there are "unmentionables" hanging there!
My memory tells me that Kevin sometimes picked on me, as older brothers will do.
Maybe I asked for it :-)
As this summer passes, I hope that you all have wonderful memories to treasure.
I'm linking with Faded Charm and all the fun White Wednesday posts.
Blessings,
Marcia

Cute, cute pictures!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you guys have a blessed school year. I can't wait to hear about your homeschooling story.
Very sweet, I love your cute little bathing suit. I would love to hear how you started home schooling. I think it is so neat the way we all heard the Lord's voice and how He has used it through the years. Congrats on 16 years of Home Educating.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos! There's something about laundry hanging on the line that is satisfying to me - weird, huh?lol!
ReplyDeleteSorry to have missed Serena's b'day post but I do wish her belated wishes!
She is a beautiful young lady! May the Lord continue to bless her.
Best wishes

Adorable photos! Love the laundry. There's nothing better than line dried sheets.
ReplyDeleteWonderful old photos, I think I had a bathing suit like that! It's pouring rain and in the 50's here this AM, do enjoy the sun and warmth for us...
ReplyDeleteI doubt you asked for it..brothers just do that! You were such a little doll, I love these pictures! Wow 16 years of home schooling..that is so amazing to me! I could never do that! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious post! Wonderful photos to cherish no doubt! The laundry on the line just adds to their sweet charm...:)
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you as you start another year of homeschooling. I homeschooled all three of my girls "one" year with the aid of an Independent Study teacher, then my youngest daughter a different year (6th grade). What a commitment it truly is!! May God give you a renewed energy and strength to do this! :)

Such sweet memories of precious children. What a gift!
ReplyDeleteMarcia, There are many photographs in our family collection where the laundry is blowing in the breeze! And we didn't have the luxury of a pool- instead, we had a large galvanized tub. LOL
ReplyDeleteAh, such fun memories of early childhood...

ReplyDeleteHome scholing??? o my....that is not possible in the Netherlans.......our country is so small.......beautiful pictures from you in earlier years !!...wishing you a happy day....love Ria.....and good luck with teacher play !!.........
ReplyDeleteOh I love those pics Marcia!
ReplyDeleteThey really take me back to a simpler time. Of course childhood should always be a simpler time.
And I bet you are very busy with the home schooling. That is quite the project and I admire you for sticking to it this long.
Hugs,
Cindy
Thanks for poppin' by and I adore those old pictures! I love the laundry blowing in the summer breeze:-)
ReplyDeleteI have lots of great summer memories going to the beautiful public pools in Switzerland! Those pics are the best! I'm glad it's still warm here, still summer for me!!

Such sweet pictures, Marcia!! I had to chuckle about one thing- why was the swimming pool always put near the clothesline? It is practically under the clothesline in all my childhood pictures! *LOL* (safety line, maybe? *giggle*)
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos of a simpler time. I remember hanging the wash out with my Grandma when we were young and the two of you in the little pool reminded me of sitting in the back yard watching my boys in the little pool we had for them...such wonderful memories!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures reminded me of very similar ones my mom took of my kids when they were little such sweet memories!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post. I love these photos. You look adorable in your little skirted swimsuit. Some how you don't look picked on - you look in charge!!
ReplyDeleteThis brings back some great memories of my childhood - filling up the pool with the hose - awesome!!!
