Chicken Is Missing

Ramona came running into the house this morning after going out to feed and water the chickens.  She belted out, “your chicken is missing, he’s not in the coop, not in the nesting boxes, and he’s not in the backyard.” 
Upon hearing this, I sent everyone out to look for Chicken (that is really his name.) [...]

The Epitome of Brain Development

I just love how the brain develops.  While teaching my kids, It has been amusing to watch what each of them understands/comprehends according to their age.  Here is a funny example of how children move from concrete thinking to more abstract thinking as they age.  Master C is 11 and Ramona is 7.
Master C, “Ramona [...]

How Then Shall We Pray?

Our family is being faced with new challenges each day.  Let’s just say I am stressed WAY out!!!  I talk to the Lord about it and as I was talking, I began thinking about how I should pray.  I, of course, want it all to go away so we can get on with the fun [...]

Beautiful Music

The kids went to a handchime/handbell camp this week.  God is so good. The opportunity came knocking at our door or maybe I should say came ringing at our door:) So we accepted.  They were able to go for four days for free.  What a blessing.  The instructor allowed kids from her church to attend [...]

Hop To It

Master C showing his Lionhead rabbit at our local county fair.  He won a blue ribbon and a $2 premium.  e was soooo nervous.  We were told to show up at 8:30 AM to show Chester, but then had to wait until 10:30.  The waiting was pure torture on a nervous kid.  He was not [...]

Howo, Hoa, Ho, How Err…. I Mean Hello

Ramona and 3D had a great time showing their chickens (Snowy and Chicken-3D couldn’t make up his mind on a good name, so he just said to call his Chicken) at our local county fair.
