We just finished a basketball camp all week, and had a few play dates.  The kids have been fishing fools lately which is so much fun to see their excitement. Endless homemade chocolate chip cookies with friends and lots of laughter. Love all the fun of summer.

Cherish your people well today.

Toss aside the busywork and hug them tight.

Tell them their a hero in all kinds of lovely ways.

Because no other junk matters compared to them, compared to the God who created them in our little circle.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sin 1 Peter 4:8

cave tours
One of the last homeschooling field trips we did was at Ledgeview.  Jonah and Olivia were the only 2 that tackled the caves out of my gang.

They had a blast.  Very cool, damp, tight and wet.  Our guide was awesome..even cooler she was from Australia!
