WORDS TO LIVE BY

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. 
James 3:17-18

TODAY'S QUOTE

Wisdom outweighs any wealth. ~ Sophocles


YARD AND GARDEN


No pictures today but the rain we've had the last few days is making the garden grow like crazy. 

LEARNING TOGETHER

Michael and I were at my sister's this morning for our shared learning time. We read books, reviewed flashcards and played games.

The Walnut Acre Daily Sunday and Monday May 31 and June 1, 2015

WORDS TO LIVE BY

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
1 Timothy 5:12

TODAY'S QUOTE

You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. ~ Ogden Nash


ANIMAL UPDATES

We had a bit of an adventure yesterday with Michael's cat, Bear. We knew she was going to have kittens soon and yesterday was the day. I was inside and Madalyn was playing outside. Nancy and Mateah (who are living here at the moment) came home and Madalyn told them that Bear was trying to eat a squirrel so she carried Bear away from it and was trying to save the poor little squirrel. When Nancy went to see what she was talking about she found a poor little kitten whose mother had hidden herself to have the rest of her kittens in peace. Apparently Bear was cleaning the kitten and Madalyn thought she was trying to eat it. After lots of searching we finally found Bear and gave her back her firstborn.  At this point she has her kittens so well hidden that I can't see how many she has. I know there are at least two and that she seems to be taking care of them even though they had a bit of a rough start. Michael is excited and keeps trying to get a look at them but I think he's going to have to wait until they can crawl out on their own.

LEARNING TOGETHER

This morning Michael and I went to my sister's for shared learning time. We read books, reviewed flash cards and played games.





Some Of The Resources We Used Today



OUT AND ABOUT

Yesterday was our family's turn to be in the church nursery during worship service. Doug wasn't there but Austin and Amanda were with me and things went well. There were only four little ones in nursery and then we also had Michael and Madalyn with us.


After church we had a fellowship dinner. 

This evening I helped serve a meal at a children's ministry and then went to our church board meeting. I had just enough time between to the two to stop at Food Lion for a few things we needed. 

This evening Michael, Austin and Doug went to try to get parts for a mower Doug is working on. After dinner they went to a friends house to work on a bush hog.

Family Reunion - The Walnut Acre Daily Saturday May 30, 2015

WORDS TO LIVE BY

I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
Psalm 57:9-11


TODAY'S QUOTE


Faith is courage, it is creative while despair is always destructive. ~ David S. Muzzy


OUT AND ABOUT


We spent most of our day today at a family reunion. This was a Troyer reunion which is my dad's side of the family. It was a wonderful day and it was hard to leave this evening when it was time. We caught up on family news, enjoyed music and singing, and lots of good food! It was a two hour drive for us, but it was much further for many who were there. 







The kids had fun playing on the playground, squirting each other with water, eating Popsicles, and just being kids and playing together.
