Yum?!! We have a small, fire "pit" where we can burn odd pieces of wood, etc, and we (very occasionally!) enjoy cooking smores.

We are practicing up for November 30th. Anna let Abigail hold onto her bow--the only problem, Abigail really wanted to taste it too. She would look all the way up the bow and grab for it.

The work at the house is progressing. Dad is wiring in the outlets, and Jesse is screwing on the covers.

And here is Annie. She was working through a huge pile of odd-sized pieces of wood, and Dad let her use the saw to cut up some of them. It made the job more interesting.

I didn’t explain what happened with the toilet leak, either. Daddy found that there was a defect in the toilet! So, it wasn’t anything that we did, but rather a lemon of a toilet. Oh well. 🙂

As we approach Thanksgiving week, I think of how many things I am grateful for. Truly, the Lord has blessed each one of us in so many ways!

Sarah for the rest

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name” (Psalms 100:4).

  1. It’s good that you were able to figure out that the toilet is defective-it still leaves you with a mess to clean up but is nice to know that it wasn’t anything you did wrong.
    I pray that you all have a blessed Thanksgiving.

  3. beautiful pictures and imagine my surprise to see abigail wrapped in the afghan i made for her 🙂 i cannot tell you how much it means to me–thank you so much.

    the house is really coming along. we are in the process of beginning to lay new floors in our home–it’s hard to imagine building an entire home. you are such a wonderful example of how working on a family project together can be a bonding time.
    blessings.
