Life lessons...


Hannah's first bee sting, which she got when eating blackberries.

My girls always have banged up legs, check out this bruise on Alyssa's leg. It is the shape of the letter R, I thought that was just weird.


Hannah healing leg.


Here are both of the girls with bandaged up legs. They both fell within two minutes of each other on our way to Herforster Fest. They were walking on one of the ledges just down the street from our house. First it was Hannah, her was worse than Alyssa. Then as Bill and Hannah were walking back home Alyssa fell.

Final life lesson in the past two months is not to touch just any old plant along the road or sidewalk. We were by the sheep in our village and the girls were pulling up wheat to feed them. Well, unfortunately Alyssa go a hold of some burnweed. Once she heard that it was burnweed, she thought she was on fire and what a fuss she made all the way home.

Did the burnweed do anything or is that just it's name??

Burnweed does exactly what it sounds like, it burns. Some people are immune to it like Bill. We had to wash her hand really well and put anti-itch cream on it.

Ouch...I would probably make a fuss too :)
