A week in pictures

:: scrub, scrub, sweep, sweep. I was busy, as busy can be, to catch up on cleaning. We had started homeschooling once again and company was coming. Amidst it all a little boy came up to me to tell me they had a surprise for me upstairs, and I told I would take a look later. He urged me to come look and then my hubby started urging me to look. So, I dragged my tired body up the stairs and found this...three boys who had made their parents' room a romantic glow of RED!

A heart shaped wire with red christmas lights!
...what a happy surprise!
The joys of boys!

:: back to school ::

:: a new pup::


A few days into the new year we had to put our dog, Trix, down, since he was very sick. We had had him for nearly 11 years, and we felt the loss. We missed him. The boys prayed for another dog (like Trix), we looked around, got offers, and waited for the right time, and pup.

Then on Monday a dear friend called so say an Amish had a pup that had been dropped off, and was wondering if we still wanted one...free. Long story short, we picked her up and she is just PERFECT for our family. It looks like she is a mix between a beagle and a blue heeler.
The boys have Lots of Fun with her and drag her everywhere.
We are still looking for a name for her, and we could use your help!
Any suggestions??

  1. Lovely pictures! We didn't make it to the farm show... I thought maybe we would see you the other night at the Wissman concert, Nathaniel saw your van, but we missed seeing all of you.

    What a sweet looking puppy. Have you thought of a good name for her yet? I'm sure the boys have come up with some interesting ones. We had a number of interesting names come up when we were trying to think of a name for our new horse. :)

    Benjamin would love to have a puppy, maybe next spring. :)

    Hope all is going well, I know the days can be full when homeschooling and all the other things that come with being a mama and wife. :)May the Lord bless you!
