 Silly kids on a break from biking at Greenfield
 Polo!
At Jillian's school the teacher reads to them from a chapter book each day.  During the reading one student is chosen to be the illustrator for the day and draws a picture based upon the happenings in the book.  Can you guess what book they were reading when it was Jill's turn???

Check out the crated pink animal in the bed of the pickup truck.  Then look at the pink animal behind the fence and notice the web, the dangling spider and blue ribbon.  Its Wilbur on his way to and at the County Fair!  Charlotte's Web is one of our favorites and Jill's drawing is just awesome!

It's a Farm Show, not a fair!

Manheim Farm Show again... only the best week of the year!
 God's little way of telling us the parade wouldn't be rained out...  well, at least we thought so...
 There's a parade on its way...
 The 2010 Parade viewing crew:  The Millers, Jaquiths, Pap and Kole
 Silly kids with the great, big, 700lb. pumpkin
Jillian contemplating the piglets. 

When Mommy wanted to look at the arranged flowers, Jill informed her in no uncertain terms that this was a "Farm" show, not a "Flower" show!  There was to be no time wasted on such trivial things, she just wanted to see the animals!

Our pets

Meet our new pets!  A friend of ours was downsizing and looking to get rid of his fish tank.  Daddy offered to take it off his hands, and adopt his two fish.  So after a couple trips to That Fish Place, the family worked together to get the old tank cleaned, put the new gravel and plants in to a make a comfortable home for our new pets! 

The two gouramis(?) remain nameless at this point, but the girls are doing a great job feeding them daily and turning off their light at bedtime.

 In celebration of our first family dinner in way too long, Mom and the girls whipped up Daddy's favorite: Chicken Parmesan!  The girls worked hard in assembly line breading the chicken.
It is still a secret... but we are so excited and can't wait to tell the girls!!!
