My children surprise me at times.  They are busy, active little people and, even though it has been raining constantly for what seems like weeks, they have kept themselves occupied with useful projects and activities.  Since we finished our schoolwork for the year all of them have been reading, helping prepare costumes for the Reformation 500, diligently keeping up with chores, and generally staying busy and out of trouble (for the most part).  It was a blessing to see them take the initiative to stay busy themselves.

While they have been keeping busy, we were all beginning to feel cooped up, so it was with a very thankful heart that I awoke to a beautiful, sunshiny day this morning.   What a relief!

My daughter still took a few quiet moments this morning to practice her new reading skills with her old friend Peter Rabbit:

A sweet moment indeed.
