We've Been Busy Lately

Hello Friends,

I haven't posted lately since we have been trying to sell our rv. We thought Yahweh (the Lord) wanted us to get rid of it soon, but it hasn't happened yet. So, we are just going to keep it until he sends the right family.

We are enjoying the summer to the fullest extent. Our garden is thriving. We have gotten so much fresh food and are still getting plenty. Some nights for dinner, we just eat fresh veggies from the garden with no meat. Fried okra, beans or peas, squash, creamed potatoes and sliced tomatoes. We are so blessed to be able to use the land Yahweh gave us to produce food on.

The children have been enjoying the pool mostly. Having a pool provides a way for us to enjoy the water without going to a public place and having to put up with seeing half naked people. Yahweh knew what He was doing when he planned out and executed those plans in our lives. We are more blessed than we ever thought we could be.

Since we are keeping the rv, we decided to take on a couple more children to babysit. I do enjoy my babysitting children greatly. Parker (a little 4 year old we babysit) has come a long way in the last couple years. My prayer is that Yahweh brings me the children He wants me to have to keep.

We are learning about sharks and other sea animals. Parker and Jedidiyah love to learn about animals. So, why not teach them what they like to learn about? That's the way we feel about it. I will post pictures of their craft projects as soon as we're done with them.

I am sorry to be jumping from one thing to the other. I have missed posting on my blog and am glad to be able to get back to it.

I hope to be able to get a new article posted by tomorrow. I also have some pictures of our produce to post. I have to get dinner laid out and laundry hung out first.

So, until I can take another break, BE BLESSED!!

Blessings,

Journal Making

This is Hananyah's first handmade journal. She put sticky butterflies on the front because they match the butterfly fabric.
Pretty beads enhance the purple theme.
The elastic hold the journal together for a smooth look.

The binding is nice and tight.

This is Jedidyah's first handmade journal. He covered it with "Woody" fabric.

We put elastic around it from the back to keep the journal closed.

There are about 50 pages in his journal.

He is showing off his many blank pages that he can draw or write on.

OH, he has filled the first page with a picture of our house.

(Except we don't have a wood heater, yet :)

This is the back side of the journal.

We tied some brown twine around the binding of the book because it looks just like the rope on the fabric.

Simple Lapbook Pt. 2

Lapbooking

We have recently started lapbooking. We are lapbooking Nick's work, CJ's work, insects, and our country's symbols. Take a look at the video if you are interested in starting your lapbook adventure. My children learn alot more and easier when they can do the hands on work while creating a lapbook.

Blessings,

Amanda
