Becoming a REAL helper!



Last night Lydia husked all of our corn for dinner ( and did a very good job!), brought me the corn, put on her boots, took to rest out to the burn pile (we don't have a compost yet, or a cow, or chickens!), then brought the bowl back to me. It is so fun for me to see her not only learning, but really able to accomplish tasks completely. Boy, was she proud too! Bethany would like to take some credit, but all she did was sit and suck on her ice cube!
A Good Day!





Last Saturday was very special occasion in our house! Daddy was home and put everything else aside to be with his girls, all day!!! The canoe trip was that weekend but he purposely didn't go so he could spend some time with us.
That morning we went out to Bert's for breakfast, and then we headed out to the park. They have a great new play structure out there and the girls had tons of fun, running, climbing, swinging and sliding! Bethany even would go down the BIG slide on her belly!

Trying to be more than a wife wanna be
Okay, So I am not naturally gifted in being a housewife. When we were first married, the dishes would practically sit on the counter ( or counters as the week went on!) until the weekend when David would finally help me wash them. ( I'm not quite that bad anymore!) I could give you stories that would make you cringe, but then you would probably never want to hang out with me anymore so I will refrain. I have good intentions though. I'm the kind of wife who gets really excited and tries to make bread, bagels, English muffins and a pie all in the same day, even though we couldn't eat all of it in a month, but then fails to have a lunch ready for her husband in the morning!
I've just been realizing though, how great a desire I have to raise my daughters to be the best wives I can equip them to be. But unfortunately, that means they have to learn from me!
While I am much better than my former days, I still am not disciplined enough to have a house that I feel truly confidant about. People can come over, I just pray that they don't look in THAT room! We are getting ready to start a new schedule for this school year. Please pray for us that we are successful, as once again, I am one to get all fired up about a thing like this, only to let it slide away two weeks later. As my incredibly gracious husband quotes " If you take care of the little things, the big things take care of themselves!".

Our new pool!





The other night, Daddy once again proved himself to be the most amazing daddy ever and brought the girls home a pool! They were so excited! They tried it out that evening with him and then again the next afternoon when the aunties came over. Lydia really enjoyed it, but soon got distracted with playing here, there and everywhere. Havilah did not like it AT ALL! All she ever got were her toes dipped in, but even that sent her weeping. Bethany was the little water dog. She played and played and played until we made her got out! Water is so much fun!
