The Heart of the Home

The Heart of the Home seeks to equip women as they study God's Word and encourage them to treasure God with all of their heart (Matt 6:19-21), and guard their heart (Prov. 4:23), by recognizing that they are the heart of the home.

As usual life gets crazy busy....

Honestly I don't know how time slips past without posting.  I mean so many interesting, funny, or just plain crazy things happen on a daily basis but I never get the time carved out to sit down and share them.  DH has been reading Ordering Your Private World, by Gordon MacDonald.  I used to be the Organization Queen but methinks I need to read this book.  It happened right after DS was born that organization went out the door.  Homeschooling sure has helped with getting my organization back somewhat but it goes much slower than I care for.

But what follows is a collage of our life over the past few weeks.  Enjoy and have a few laughs on us. 

DS with his kitty, Fresca

DH as "The Mummy"  Yes I am hot-natured and he isn't.  Note the rug, Dusty, at his feet to keep them warm.  So glad Dusty obliges.

The Mummy Returns.  That is one sheet, one thermal blanket, a comforter doubled over, plus a robe over the feet, and an Army cap all for good measure! 

 Give you all one guess what DS is getting for Christmas.  His own camera.  I keep finding these on mine.  The kid is pure silly.

Though I am seriously envious of his lashes. 

Talent abounds in our family.

Aaaah, classic Mac.  He sat p-e-r-f-e-c-t-l-y still as if we couldn't see him.  Even while I snapped away with the camera I believe he was firmly convinced he was invisible.   

 

This went on for at least 5 minutes, too.

One way cool moth we found.  Of course I need to get more organized so we can take time to look up what kind it is.  Gorgeous. 

 

DS after his first piano recital.  He did awesome!  I would download the video but I have no idea how to do that here.  Techno-challenged strikes again.

Fresca sleeping how we find her most days 

This is the other way we find her.  Too funny!

"Does this make my butt look big?"
 

The calm before the next Mac attack.  Oh yes, 7 months old and already 9 pounds.  He is gonna be a BIG cat!

My crazy brother.  There are no words.  He was dropped on his head as a baby I am sure of it.  Yes, that is him in DS's batman cape and mask.  There are so many stories about this guy that truly defy anything remotely rational and that he has had an influence on our son is truly scary.  If you aren't sure just go check out all the many self-taken pictures DS does. 

 

That about sums our life up.  DS is loving Scouts and is eating up all his time with Daddy doing his Bear Scout stuff.  DS goes to work with Daddy as much as he can.  We shoot for one afternoon a week but it doesn't always work out but when it does they have a grand time.  DS always does his work better for Daddy, does Scouting things, they work on his "manhood" training, and DS partakes of the goodies in DH's office.  He runs a little "coffee shop" for the soldiers with snacks and goodies.  It is a good ministry.

Well I am sure there is more to share but for now this should do.  Till next time....

GODSPEED
by Edmund Blair Leighton (1900)

In medieval times, a knight wore the colors of his lady when competing in tournaments or going to battle. The knight would replace his coat of arms with the lady's colors. By offering a scarf or other small piece of clothing, it was one visible way a lady showed her devotion to her knight and also encouraged him. This went along with one of the knightly vows of protecting a lady and her interests, even unto death. This painting represents this medieval tradition. I choose this as a representation of my blog for all the military wives who send their knight-husbands to work each day, send them to the field for training, or see their husbands deploy . My blog will have some of my personal thoughts on our own journey of homeschooling or other insights or encouragements I have the leading to share. My prayers are with each and every one of you who visit my blog.
