A hike around our place...

 

On Sunday September 2nd, Tim took Ben and I on a hike around our place. I snapped a few pictures of the views. Truly breathtaking!

First Day of School

Today I read history and science to my kids OUTSIDE while sitting under a tree, eating an apple with the sun warming my back...that is the beauty and wonder of homeschooling!

Here are a few pictures to commemorate the 1st day of school here at Bailey Academy

Driveway Done!

Concrete Driveway

This is what is going on at our place today. Concrete driveway being poured. They'll finish up on Monday. 

I still plan to post pictures of our new place here on the Bailey Homestead...so stay tuned.

Happy Friday!

Hanover Park

We had a playdate with a friend of mine at Hanover Park just before we moved to WI. I had asked her to take some pictures of my kids. She (Rebekah Heinemann) did a fabulous job. Thanks friend!

 Hannah nearly 2 years old

 My Three Sons

 The Fabulous Four - Love these kids!

 Ben - 5 years old

 Micah - 7 years old

Caleb - 3 1/2 year old

Done Deal!

Well people, we have done it! We are now resident's of the great state of Wisconsin (a.k.a Cheese Head, Dairy Land, Packer Land).

We've signed the papers on our new place and we are now proud owners of a lovely ranch style home on 40-acres. It is beautiful! I hope to post more pictures by the end of July as we are now amidst cleaning, painting and our stuff coming out of storage tomorrow. Phew! It is a whirlwind.

I do have a picture that I took a couple months ago when we were having the place inspected. Here's a "sneak peak" of our new home.

The Lord is good!

Send me an email if you need our new address! 

Our place is OPEN for visitors at Bailey's Bed & Breakfast !

Summer Update & Fun

It has been way too long since I have posted anything recently. Life is lovely.....and crazy. The biggest news is that we sold our lovely place in the northwestern Twin Cities. We are MOVING to WI. I'll post pictures of our new place after we close on it mid-July. Here are a few pictures of things we have been up to the last month or so. Enjoy!
