Late Night Highlights

Tonight Elizabeth and I went to movie night at church (ladies only) and we watched "Return to Me". I had remembered how much that movie made me cry, but I forgot how much it made me laugh. It does a body good.

More things that "made my day" while up late in the quiet sleepy house with the dishwasher humming and swishing away...

Kathy expressing herself.

Chris has another room down. (I love that feeling of getting another room down!)

Carolyn dispells homeschooling myths.

I really dug into Amy's Brain Food

And this isn't a blog, but it's pretty cool: Epic Reality

Yes, true you are not just born with patience. I understand what you are saying. I am really so ignorant in the field of children as I have only just begun and not been at it long. (I have a girl who just turned 3 and a boy who is 17 months). I am enjoying your blog, you have much joy to spread.
Thanks. You lighten my day.

Lori, raising the first ones under five is really the hardest time, too. Once you get some older ones in there (who, simply by existing, keep the younger ones entertained), things get a lot easier. ;o)

i just watched *return to me* this weekend; i adore that movie for so many reasons, but find myself fast-forwarding through the beginning because it drags a bit...

Why we allow God to plan our family size.

( Allow? Allow God? Who am I to allow God? ) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5, 6 Sometimes people ask me what scripture we base our family size on. I think they expect me to quote verses like "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” - Psalm 127:3-5 Or to quote all the "Be fruitful and multiply" verses. Or they expect me to recant how, throughout the Bible, God considers children a blessing to be desired (in the stories of Abraham & Sarah... of Isaac & Rebecca... of Rachel & Leah... of Hannah) But for us it was not only what we found in scripture, but in looking at God'

The Bennets

Taking a cue from Zelie I've decided to rename my kids after the five daughters in one of my favorite literary works "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Henceforth my five daughters shall be known as Jane, Elizabeth "Lizzy", Mary, Catherine "Kitty", and Lydia. It will be a bit confusing for me at first, as our Elisabeth will not be Elizabeth. ;o) But it will be fun. I've always had a hard time giving my youngest three clever names, and now this will solve the problem. I will change their names in the side bar later.
