Picture it, a fight erupting among three siblings. The fourth is siting quietly on Mama’s lap, enjoying a bottle.
Fighting turns to screeching and crying and wailing. The sound of 1000 toes being cut off emanates through the living room.
Benedict takes his mouth off the bottle for a second, smiles at his Mama then goes back to eating. That”s Benedict.
…in love with this little boy:
I will get back to posting when I am feeling a bit better. In the mean time, can someone tell me how to take care of the kids and the house and be sick at the same time?
Today, the kids were playing in the backyard and I was putzing around the house, when I heard a truck outside. I peeked out the window, wondering if I was the delivery I am expecting, and saw a firetruck. The firemen got out and started walking toward the house, so I peaked out the back window at the kids, still there, still drawing with chalk so back to the firemen. They stopped at the hydrant on the corner and opened it. At that point I called the kids in to watch and they were thrilled.
The best part though was when the firemen went back to the truck, saw the two kids standing in the window, and waved. The kids waved back, then the firemen put on the lights (no sound, just lights) and the kids thought it was great!
Thanks, City of Valdosta Fire Department, you guys are awesome!
Could you spare a few prayers for a young woman named Alyssa Hichborn? She had an aneurysm burst on her kidney and is in surgery right now. They had to removed her kidney and may have to amputate her leg. Also, she just gave birth to her third child on Thursday.
Saint Benedict, ora pro nobis.
Yes, it is springtime here in South Georgia. Here is a snippet of the 10 day forecast:
This past week was a bit cooler, highs only in the low sixties, but the kids have been out every single day, for hours playing and playing and playing. Margaret got a jump rope from my sister for Christmas and loves using it. Karol rides his bike or climbs trees, then do things to show off to his sisters or his mother. Yesterday was chalk drawing day. They spent two hours in the morning and another one and a half in the afternoon writing and drawing on the driveway.
Six months of humidity and six months of this. I think I really could get used to it.

And people wonder why we home school. You cannot replace your child’s innocence. Once he hears impure words or see impurity in action, he cannot unhear them or unsee them.
