Grace overflowing

Life is busy.  

We school until about 3:30 every day and then it's almost time for the little ones to get up from their nap.  There's not much down time.

Then there are the curveballs from sickness.  Here's Caleb being sick.

Make up a sick bed and school on.


But how's this for a sweet homeschooling moment?

Homeschool is great.


Oh, and that little thing about building a house takes time, too.

Nothing like playing at a construction site for some good old-fashioned fun

Caleb's really good at spreading rocks around.  He needs more time to work on this pile, though.


Jason is taking days off work to labor alongside his dad.  From what I see during brief visits, it's sweaty, dusty, thirsty, hard work.

Now here we are at the doctor's office for sick Jeddy.  Caleb enjoys the fishies.

...and the very next day, back at the doctor's office for sick Lizzy.  Caleb still enjoys the fishies.

This is Jeddy trying to interest Caleb in an unclaimed magazine.

Caleb had noticed a picture of cars on the back of a magazine another lady was holding, so he shot across the waiting room and completely violated her personal space by jabbing his finger into it and yelling, "CARS!  CARS!"  Neither she nor her miserable sick children seemed charmed.


Even the weekends have been busy.  This weekend we're blessed to have babysitting for a date.  We're going to the building supply store to pick out doors and windows.
