| Hailey is the last one up. |
 |
| Oatmeal is one of her favorites. |
 |
The fireplace keeps the whole house warm, so I brave the cold
outdoors to keep it fed. |
 |
| Lydia helps to empty the dish washer. |
 |
Little boots wait by the front door- just in case. These boots really love puddles
and want very much to go back outside. |
 |
| This is the table where Mama eats humble pie. No, I never, ever win... |
 |
The dining room. To honor Pa we framed some of the things we love best-
he is our protector, he plays with us and he spends time talking things out with us. |
 |
| Those shelves really need dusting. Shhh... I will get to it someday. :) |
 |
We seem to have books in every nook and cranny. We have several stored in
those white IKEA magazine holders on the bottom shelf. |
 |
| Hailey "organized" the trains while waiting for her breakfast. |
 |
Isn't the morning a wonderful time to start a simple stew (or a pot of beans or soup)?
The smell is delightful and it really takes the worry out of dinner time. |
 |
We all must spend time in the Word each morning. Because we just can't draw
water from an empty well. |
 |
Everyone finishes up their chores before school. Sarah is responsible for cleaning
the girl's bedroom. |
 |
Faith tidies up the kitchen and the girls take turns leading the singing
during chores. Hymns and praise songs.
I guess rainy days and Mondays just don't get them down... |
Blessings friends,

You may notice a new item in our sidebar. It is the DVD cover for a wonderful documentary made by our very dear friends,
the Wintons. We were so very excited to hear that their important film made it into this year's semi-finals for the
San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival (SAICFF)! That's right, their first film effort and they made it to the semi-finals. So very like them. Check it out
here.

Love this peek into your day! Dust on shelves, yes, we have some of that here too. And I know the base board could use a good cleaning. But I know my kids are growing up too quickly and the time we spend with them is so much more important than having a spotless home!
ReplyDeleteThank you Yvonne. So true. I usually like to tackle those deep cleaning chores as a group for that very reason-- I make a list of things we need to accomplish and people sign up for a chore. We work together and then rest (maybe enjoy a read aloud) together. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!
I love those silhouettes of Dad and children! Did you make them? Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda! I just Googled silhouettes of dads and kids or something like that and used a few that came up. You can print them or print and trace them so you can modify them to add a skirt or hair etc. I used a Sharpie to fill mine in. As you know, you do have to be careful with any search- and since I was looking for silhouettes I asked the kids to give me a few minutes :)
