Well we got a cherry tomato last week, and a bunch ripened today, so our first good day of tomatoes came today. Yummy. We have two left that we didn't eat right off the bat, they will go into salad tonight. Also, I wanted to say Happy Father's Day to Dave, and that I am so glad the girls have such a loving and affectionate Father. The girls all made him a card and gave him a DVD he wanted. I asked them to tell him a favorite time they had with him this year, but the request was a little too hard I guess, as all we came up with were things that they wanted to do with him this year. They have had a lot of fun with him this year, and the oldest two are always talking about the father-daughter campout they went on in May. Maybe next year we can talk about it before hand and write out some things. Anyway, I hope everyone else had a great Father's Day.
I am mom to 4 little girls: Sarah 5, Hannah 3, Stephanie 2, and Annie born July 2006. We love learning and are learning to love. We are using Sonlight Kindergarten and a Pre-K schedule I put together.
Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. II Corinthians 4:7-10
