Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Dinner Out!

Well I guess all the fuss for a baby sitter was wasted. The dinner out tonight was canceled and it was probably a good thing all around. E has a runny nose and all the kids are a bit cranky which makes me wonder if they are all fighting a cold. If they get a cold it will be the 4th one for E but only the 3rd one for everyone else. Which I find interesting because the only difference in food between E and the rest of us is that she rarely eats meat. Of course she could also have a weaker immune system for some unknown reason. Every time she's been sick she's been the 1st one to get it and twice the last one to get over it. She gets the same vitamins as the boys and goes the same places. They are older though so their body's might be able to fight infection off better. Who knows. Baby R is a bit protected through me as she is still nursing so it makes sense that she is rarely sick. Today is going to be a lazy day. We'll probably watch a movie, take some extra vitamins and get a good head start on healing.

The weather warmed up to 12ish F and we have great big beautiful snow flakes falling slowly down outside. Very pretty.

The Firewood Walk!!



In my Turning post I told you that Papa and I went out and got some pine firewood from the back of our property. This is the 'trail' we made bringing in 3 loads of pine. He did the last one by himself as I could hardly move!! You can't see the whole thing. It keeps going down for awhile and then turns to the left. The pine tree was a huge one that was on a rise above the tiny pond we have back there. The fence on the right is our property line. We have a decent sized sled and could only haul 3 blocks at once as the peices were so big!! Notice how high the snow is on the fence post. That is a normal fence!!!
