Pictured is Noah today at age 3 and right after his birth. He is known for his intelligence and beautiful hair. He started reading at age two and now operates a computer by himself. He also has his own I Pod.
Seth and Sienna age three above and below at age five. Everyone is always commenting on what beautiful brown eyes they have which they got from their great great great grandfather who was a full cherokee Indian and the founder of Gretna, Va. Those beautiful brown eyes were passed on to numerous ancesters.

Seth and Sienna and Abby started Karate today. They will be attending classes three days a week at the Martial Arts School in Forest. By the way Abby is going to be my step granddaughter soon, so another addition to the family. She is such a wonderful child and loves staying over and playing with Seth,Sienna, Noah, Luke, Elijah and Suri. Her mother is Adam's fiance. Anyhow back to the Martial Arts.......

The nature of a martial arts class builds on the foundation of respect and courtesy, beginning with the instructor and student relationship and carrying through to student and student relationship.Focusing less on competition and more on mastery of skill encourages children to be more kind and respectful.

Karate, which is of Japanese origin, teaches people to defend themselves against a variety of attacks. But this art is not just about self-defense: It’s about keeping healthy and fit, developing balance and coordination, strength and fitness. It also challenges the brain by helping its followers to keep mentally alert.

The children are very busy with Music Lessons at the Mendez Academy and now karate three days a week which keeps myself busy also. Below is the introductory class. They have 20 students in their class their age.

We recently went to the apple orchard and purchased several big boxes of apples, sweet potatoes, irish potatoes,plums, peaches and tomatoes. We have already made plans to attend the Orchards Fall Festival on October 15th. Each year we all look forward to bobbing for apples and enjoying this fresh autumn fruit. Like the saying goes " An apple a day will keep the doctor away."

We love fall! Fall is exciting.
It's apples and cider.
It's an airborne spider.
It's pumpkins in bins.
It's burrs on dog's chins.
It's wind blowing leaves.
It's chilly red knees.
It's nuts on the ground.
It's a crisp dry sound.
It's green leaves turning
And the smell of them burning.
It's clouds in the sky.
It's fall. That's why...

We love fall. by April

Our favorite time of the year is the fall. The kids love taking walks on our hiking trails in the woods. We left this morning at 7:30 am. It was really cold but the children had the time of their life learning and exploring nature. Some days we go three or four times.

"Come said the wind to
the leaves one day,
Come o're the meadows
and we will play.
Put on your dresses
scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone
and the days grow cold."
- A Children's Song of the 1880's

Here are a few pictures of the twins in Music class at the Mendez Music Academy. This is their second year in the school and hopefully they will stay in it for many more years. The school teaches piano, violin, guitar, voice lessons,praise and worship leading and many other things. Gabriel, our eldest son has been taking voice lessons for several years at the school and helps out with recitals and where ever he's needed.
