Wisconsin weekend....

Games of course

Trains.

Calvin and Hobbs..... 

This train was his size...he loved it.

The almost twins.  They got a long very well I thought.  They had to establish their boundaries now and then but it was fun to watch. 

Listening to something.  Brad got some nice practice in doing things below his dignity.  

This is just to prove a good picture of Matt and I can't be taken....or something.   I look like my  Aunts.....hmmm....

Keagan sat here watching him play angry birds for a nice long time....

The rat is just a toy.  Asher is about the happiest baby ever.


I was enjoying some of Arla's  brown stuff.  When I get big I'm going to have a crock of brown wooden spoons and big tall salt and pepper sets.  

Look! A picture of us five girls!  I really like this cozy corner.   Arla and I got to sit by the fire place and talk for two hours without interruptions.  Amazing! 


He loves loves babies. 
And I don't even have a picture on here of the wood stove we went to pick up.  Neither do I have a picture of Arla and Elv .  How silly.  The boys were very much themselves and felt right at home there.....I know because they fought and all that as if they were home.  They are never that relaxed in Idaho.....
    We had a wonderful time up north and were very glad to be home. Today, life is as real as ever.  School and teaching values to my boys is just as challenging today.  Thinking up meals and cleaning  the kitchen over and over is happening as usual.
   I am still trying to figure out how to bake gluten free.  I don't like corn tortillas so today I tried to make tortilla's out of other flours.  I would deem them a success.  Still wishing for a pizza crust that is good but I have too high of expectations for that  I believe.  Keagan just asked me again this morning if he has to eat gluten free the rest of his life.  I told him he could have a piece of bread with gluten if he wanted it.  He just shook his head.  He's not brave enough because he's so absolutely sick of ouchy tummies.  He's freaked out about a lot of food.  If I can just keep him  on normal plain meat and potato meals, we can fatten him up and hopefully he'll get braver.

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

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.
