October So Far....

Harvest started.  Yep...can't deny it's fall now.

A Sunday morning on our seven acres.




Z is back in glasses for studying.....  not sure he really needs them or that they're going to help that much....but we'll see. 

Two weeks ago he was at a youth party playing football and got his foot caught under him some how and and ended up breaking his bone at the growth plate.  So he now has two screws in and is hobbling about on crutches.  It's been a not so fun experience but we're on the road to recovery! 

Feeling sleepy still but he gave me a thumbs up. 

On the way home! 

He slept a lot last week. 

These cousins came over and kept him from thinking about his problems for a while. 

And games in the evening too seem to help.  

He got Tons of Candy.....

Huge sunshine box. 


Mathias turned seven!   He says it was his favorite birthday yet!  



I got to decorate for a fall bridal shower.....so fun! 

Ditch weeds....the very best weeds. 



after two days of getting back to school.  And it's Friday now and I think he pretty much won all the battles this week! Including that dreaded Math test!  Praise the Lord!

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....
