Life around here...

So I've been hearing complaints that its quiet on my end... Might I use the excuse of busyness? Excuses or not, it's true just the same...

I do want to keep you all up to date on what's going on around here, but how the days do fly by! We've had guests almost every weekend since the beginning of March. And we are enjoying that even if it does make life busier, 'cause sometimes we just plain feel a little lonely and in need of some good conversation with other adults!!!! :)

Our HUGE cistern is 3/4 full!!! That's such a blessing! :)

Right now there's work getting done on the addition, I need to just make it a point to go out and take pictures. Dads are here, and 2 of Lor's younger siblings are also here. Today the windows and doors are being put in place. The bosses have been plastering for about 2 weeks now, and it's so exciting to see something getting done...

Oh I *wish* you could hear my children sometimes...

According to Weston we don't have turkeys, it's "dobbles". And Mommy may have a Husky (HUV), but definitely *NOT* a *truck*... Oh I laugh at him - he gets so emphatic about it being Dad's truck not Mommy's. He'll say "Dad's truck - tractor (Husky) Mommy's!" :)

And the big old orange dump truck brought a load of cement and steel up this week. It happened to come just as we were finishing up family devotions. Kenneth (5) was praying as he heard it coming closer. It went something like this, "Dear Jesus, thank You for the dump truck, thank You that it didn't get stuck in the mud this time (he pauses as he hears the truck coming up the drive) - Amen!" (real quick). Then there was a mad dash  as all the children raced for the door so they could see the truck!!!!
