Julianna and her Grandparents

Had a lovely visit with Patsy and David last week, in which a very silly Julianna was doted on with all the love in the world.

Old Salem

A bit of homeschooling, a few treats, great friends, and a lot of fun.

Wordless...errrr... Monday

Gone Fishin'

The Pool is In!

Ever wonder how these things come about? Ever had a pool dangling over your home? This video's probably pretty boring for most of you... but for you homeschoolers, your kids might be interested. (My kids sure were! Well, until my sister arrived with chocolate cake!) : )

Our Backyard

We're under construction!

A Bit of Conviction for the Day

“There is no other way in which one’s life will be so surely, so quickly transfigured, as in the faithful, happy, cheerful doing of every-day tasks. We need to remember that this world is not so much a place for doing things as for making character. Right in the midst of what some people call drudgery is the very best place to get the transfigured life. The doing of common tasks patiently, promptly, faithfully, cheerfully, makes the character beautiful and bright. But we must take heed always that we do our tasks, whatever they are, with love in our heart. Doing any kind of work unwillingly, with complaint and murmuring, hurts the life.”
