Month in Pictures, Week 3
Wednesday, May 15:
A storm blew in, and I loved watching the clouds forming over the mountains that are visible from my room! The colors were spectacular, too, as different waves came through. It was sunny for a few moments, then I looked out and saw this!

I was amused, this evening, as the boys did a quick tackling wrestle match right before our family Bible time. #2 brother pinned #3 brother down first (#3 is on the floor in picture 1), then #1 tackled #2, and in the end #2 and #3 ganged up to get #1 brother down! It’s a wonderful life—and I love watching my brothers!
Month in Pictures, Week 2
Wednesday, May 8:
One afternoon, all the younger ones were busy playing Lego—such fun! (And I couldn’t decide which picture to keep, so you get both.)

The table next to my desk showed remnants of the day’s work: Time spent on some studies on American History, and my first handwritten letter in ages! (So much fun to do! I hope you get it soon, Marlène!)

Heroes of the Faith
I’ve been reading A Company of Heroes by Tim Keesee this last week. What a book! I can’t say I fully recommend it yet, but I have really appreciated the first three chapters, anyway. So many good quotes and things to chew over, and so much truth! Here are three of the quotes that I have found particularly inspiring, all from chapter one.
(This book was released mid last month, I believe, by Crossway. They graciously gave me a review copy, so I’m looking forward to reviewing it here sometime in the next few weeks—watch for that! Get your own copy here. #AffiliateLink)
