A Visit with Grandpa and Grandma

My parents were here for a visit last week. We had a great time with them and were really glad since they brought the summer weather with them.

We picked Joash up from school so my parents could see it and then went out for lunch to celebrate Joash's first year at school.

Gideon was baptized on Sunday. I am so thankful that my parents were here for that.

Gideon was not a fan of picture time.

We did lots of things around the house.

Since we finally had nice weather, the first cut of silage needed to be done. My dad was recruited to help and I don't think he minded one bit.

We also visited Kings Castle Park near Murray River. It was great park and one that we plan to return to. They had a nice beach area on the river.

And some great play structures, both new and old. And a little trail with different storybook character statues on it.

We had a such a great time. But Mataya learned that a week of fun with Grandpa and Grandma is tiring. This is how I found her yesterday at about 5 pm.

We loved having my parents here and look forward to the next time we can see them.

Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. I really enjoyed this book. The characters in it were interesting and unique. While some thing...

Emissary by Thomas Locke

When you open the pages of Emissary by Thomas Locke, you enter a world quite different from our own. Magic is practised, but only in certain places and ways. There are legends and myths of what happened thousands of years ago. And a dark, evil force is slowly threatening the peace this world has known for the last thousand years.
