Sunday @ home = relaxing/ rest/ family fun

So today our boys have colds. So Matt and Zerrick went to church in the morning and Zerrick and I went in the evening. What a nice relaxing day we had! Now the boys are all sleeping except for Z.  


  Here are some pictures of our blue eyed precious.   He is 8 months old and happy most of the time.  He's our little daddies boy.  He notices when people go outside and he stands at the window and watches what goes on out there a lot. Yesterday Matt had him on the mower and he fell asleep for him.  His ears are still dirty from that ride. 






This is what was making him laugh so much. They has some sort of joke going....

He loves Matt's droid....especially when it's playing Pandora...


I wonder what this thing tastes like....


Keagan spent some time riding this and trying to skate board.  Later on in the day he ended up with a cut toe
because he was scootering with out shoes.

He has great aspirations...but a greater desire not to hurt himself...

Keagan wanted to take a picture.

And then Zerrick took one. 

Matt says I look old in this picture.  So I turned it black and white....it didn't help did it.
So I think I look tired...and ya, I'm not 20 any more.   But I sure do love the life I have.
We were enjoying the wonderful weather and talking and watching our boys play their various games.  Later on we got the four wheeler and checked the hens in the barn to see if they were laying on their eggs like good hens should. One was. 
    Then we took a little ride down to the woods.  It was beautiful green down there and the green of the ferny looking locusts trees made it feel very awesome....and I'm using that word right.  The awe at the way God created that green and beauty and sweet peace....away from the noise and bother and just the wind in the branches and oriels singing.  ah well, I'm not a writer...but I wish I could convey how wonderful it was!  

So that was a peek at our Sunday.  This week looks a little more like we might settle into a more normal life.  Who decides what's normal anyhow?  Have a good week!    ~ Amy

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
