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.

Papa's Eye

This was taken a few days after the air canister exploded in his face in November. When I took the picture he couldn't open his eye at all and it's really not a great picture. If you look close you can see that his eye is all gummed up and there is a red area around his eye and down his face a bit. The first day that was all dark brown with embedded sand!! It took several days of showers for it to completely go away. The whites of his eye were full of blood and you could easily see sand embedded in it. He was in a lot of pain until it cleared out. Tears are amazing. Every morning there would be trails of crud down his nose.. were the tears had cleaned the sand out of his eye while he slept. During the day he was constantly wiping crud off. God made our bodies absolutely magnificently!! It was amazing to see his eye heal itself!! He was back to work the next day and his vision was perfect in less then a week!
The band aid on his thumb was a cut from pig butchering when he cut the outside of his knuckle almost to the bone!! Nasty!! It took a while to heal but it finally did.

Bunkbeds in the Kids room.

The darker set we've had for almost a full year and the boys were sleeping in them. Now the boys sleep on tops and girls on bottoms. R is on the pink sheet and that's her bed. It works great as she can't fall out!! The boys are on their Christmas Slide from G&B and can climb from the top of the slide to the top bunk! E is watching them from the middle of the room.

Brutus.

Well Brutus the Bull as he's been dubbed by Papa has a real soft spot... for our sweet mix. The night we got him Papa went out to milk and Brutus almost ate out of Papa's hand. Bindy of course did and she still visits the spot where Papa dumped the sweet mix that day!! Here in this 1st picture he's out of the pen on his 1st day here. Maggie and Bindy are SHOCKED!!

Here he is still out. See the wire across his chest? That's the fence and he's on the WRONG SIDE!
He has turned out to be VERY well fence trained and hasn't even thought about repeating his 1st days performance.
