Mumblings on a Monday

I took last week off blogging since we had our own version of Spring Break.  I spent the week making changes to our homeschool schedule and laying out the next two months.  I really want to finish the year strong and I'm excited about what we have planned.

Ellie went to my parents' house to visit for the weekend.  Our household was very mellow and quiet, even with 3 boys.  She is definitely the joie de vivre of our home.

God is up to a lot here.  I'm not ready to share details yet, but I will just say that we are continuing to grow and be stretched.  Through it all, God is good and is showing us ways that He remains our true Provider, Jehovah Jireh.  Thank You, Lord.

I finished a book over the weekend called "The Circle Maker" by Mark Batterson.  It was a great read and I would highly, highly recommend it.  We're circling some prayers and dreams like Jericho here.

Last week, Tim and I watched a BBC production called "North and South."  It was set during the Industrial Revolution in England.  I wish during high school and college I had the appreciation for history that I do now.  Tonight we are starting another one called "Wives and Daughters."

We have some friends who have chickens and are selling eggs.  We've started buying our eggs from them because the price is good and we can actually see the chickens and their environment.  We stopped at their house this afternoon to check out the addition they're putting on the house.  They have a son who is the same age as Noah and he enjoyed showing Noah the chickens.  They spent a good portion of our visit holding the new chicks they recently purchased.  We came home with some farm fresh eggs that their son had gathered while we were there.  Can I just say I love buying my food like that?  I do.

It was a good, rest-filled weekend overall...always a nice way to start the week.
