Perseverance

When a boys waits forever to try and catch an animal...
True picture of patience and perseverance.

Blueberry Season!

Image
Today marks the beginning of our Blueberry Season this year! If you'll take note of the date, it's SUPER early this year.  Thanks to all the warm weather we've had lately, we're eating off our bushes almost a month earlier than normal.  It caught me by surprise.  The boys were wandering outside chomping on something and I realized it was blueberries!  And they were actually blue! (They've been known to, out of pure angst for the season, take off a few blueish/purple berries and just eat past the slight bitterness) I set out to test the berry's sugar content to make sure we could actually start the picking season and the boys could hardly keep their hands off the bushes.  So, I put them to work...

Calvin's schoolwork

 Some things I like to tuck away in a picture for funnies sake later in life (o;  The boys are learning who the Lord is and what that means in their lives and I'm so grateful we can afford to send them to a school that reinforces those values.   The part about Calvin bossing his friends around at soccer just cracked me up. And then his description of how God has shown his power in his life when his Great Grandmalita died...I asked him about this one and he didn't really have a great explanation.  Interesting. So thankful he loves church
