A Fish Story

The kids enjoyed a beautiful, fun day of fishing with their Dad, cousin J, and DaddyDon ~ this was several weeks ago, even before the trees were leafed out. Now everything at the tank is leafy green.

For Today... June 30, 2009

Outside my window... glorious, blessed, soaking rains!

I am thinking... how thankful I am to be home to care for my family

From the learning rooms... eldest is doing math on the computer, older son is designing a new train layout, youngest son is reading about amphibians, and baby is napping

I am thankful for... these long-awaited, sorely needed rains

From the kitchen... garden-fresh squash, okra, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and oodles of peppers

I am wearing... shorts and a black t-shirt with a smudge of baby food apricots on the shoulder where sweetie pie wiped her mouth after breakfast

I am reading... The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck

I am hoping... to be all packed and ready for our little family trip when my dear husband wraps things up at work

I am creating... a menu system for meal planning and new lapbook designs for some unit studies

I am praying... for wisdom in parenting

Around the house... golden lantana in riotous bloom, big front porch needing a broom, blackberries ripening, various sizes of muddy boots piled up on the back porch

One of my favorite things... rocking my baby

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
