A little behind

It's been a full week around here. My cousin Pam and her son Logan came for a visit. As well as my sister and Jack. Here is the crew sitting at the farmer's market. Aunt Pam spoiled the boys in many ways but one was giving them each $6 to spend.

Of course it was gone in an hour:)

The boys had a ball with Logan. He played what ever they wanted to! He heads to Cedarville college next year. We are so glad to have him closer! And so proud of who he has become:)

Our home school group went sledding last Wednesday. What fun they had!

Even Davis joined it. He insisted on snow boarding. So we found a tiny hill that he could slide down. He loved it! A little too cold for my liking...but oh well!

Little Bit of Everything

Yesterday morning was a treat. We woke up to a very sunny day. I opened my favorite door and loved the "heat" I felt coming through.
Rudy update: Doing pretty well. He is doing great at night and has learned to love his room (the laundry room). We had company the other night and we didn't hear a peep from him. Still working on the potty training. As long as we take him out every 3-4 hours he does great:)


The boys have enjoyed the snow. We have about 12-15 inches and more in some spots. It comes up to Davis' thigh which is funny to watch him walk in it. The temps have been bitter cold- below 0- but this week, it has been "warm" enough to get outside in it.

Took a trip to Mc D's to get out of the house. Hudson with a little bit of static:)

We made some peanut butter cookies last week. We created an assembly line and it worked pretty well.

Good Friends- Following the Lord's calling

My very close friend Adrienne, her husband Jeff and 2 kids Clay and Emma left for India last week and arrived on Saturday. They will be teaching in a boys Christian school and living at a boys orphanage until June. I would love for you all to pray for them with me as they follow what the Lord has layed on their heart to do. You can read about their journey here.
Our church had a time of prayer last Sunday before they left. Please join us that God will use them in a tremendous way!

Back in the Saddle again

Well, it was back to school for the Yoder boys. It was time. We had a great break but I was ready to get back to a schedule. Our morning usually starts out with Bible Devotions together then they are off to complete their daily assignments for each subject. Hudson and Chapman usually choose to do their reading in a quiet place first. Today I was able to capture that pic without too much distraction.

Davis was needing a constuctive activity so he did a little painting. It kept his attention for about...3 minutes. Hey, I'll take it!

Owen working on his reading lesson.

It's a Boy!

Same old...same old... NO this time it's a puppy not a human:) I realized recently that I have not posted about our best Christmas present of all! He is a Bea-Shih which is a Beagle Shih-tzu cross. He is such a good puppy. He is 5 months and has adjusted well to our household. Here are a few pics of him.

This is what a walk looks like with Rudy.
