Days to Praise God For . . .

We thank God for His love and care for each of us!
It is because of Him that we rejoice!
Susanna 3 1/2, Gordon, Samuel 2, Betsie, Isaiah 4 months, Elisabeth 6
We recently spent another weekend out in the "campo" (country) to work on our harvest.
In the mornings it was quite cold - down to the low 30's.

The vast plains and rolling mountain ranges stretch on as far as the eye can see. Here is Elisabeth enjoying the hot sun and solitude.

We get hot and dry and dirty when out in the fields. Here is a dusty Susanna enjoying a refreshing drink. Isaiah smiles beside her.

A grubby Samuel enjoys a drink as well!

Home again. . . Here is Gordon enjoying some Father-Son time.

Sweet Susanna! Never a dull moment with her around! Here she claims that she caught a bad case of the chicken pox! (Looked like stickers to me!) About twenty minutes after this picture, she came to me, "all better." I gasped a moment later to see that 4 month old Isaiah had apparently caught a bad case of the same . . . from Susanna! (I quickly rescued him from his stickery disease.)

Aunty Helena enjoyed making Isaiah giggle and giggle one day. . . .Which is pretty easy to do with this cheerful little boy of ours! In the background you can see a bit of our bedroom. We have a quilt on the wall that dear sisters from our church quilted for us, and below that is the Rubbermaid tote that serves as Isaiah's crib. You can see some of blankets piled in it. . . Thanks to each one of you who have sent the quilts, blankets, candles, etc. . . that make our bedroom so "homey."
