The latest family picture of us.
Sorry it is not bigger but I am having problems with putting on pictures right now, and this was the best I could do.
I love the beautiful yellow canola field in the back ground. Makes a great back drop.

What he must be if he want's to marry my duaghter
I Just ordered this book from www.christianbook.com I have read a few chapters and have found it pretty good so far.
Of course I only have 2 very young daughters so I am truly thinking in advance here, but it is also good in preparing your sons for what they need to be for marriage. And we have 5 sons in the growing!
Just passing on information about this book to you all.
A theological explanation for Voddie Baucham's suitor requirements, as well as a collection of practical advice, What He Must Be... is organized around the five "musts" of what any Christian man should be before getting married. Hitting two sides of the coin, this book is designed to be a manual for readying fathers and daughters, as well as a manual for training sons to become men worthy of marrying. He spends time addressing the importance of marriage for Christians; the need for fathers to become patriarchs willing to be sensitive to-and protective of-their daughters; the dangers of feminism; ways to lead selflessly and with love; the importance of valuing children as a blessing; and a number of other elements crucial to a successful courtship and marriage. 213 pages, softcover.

for the love of rainy days!!
It's raining out side. And you know what? I'm lovin' it!!
Yeppers I sure am!
I know your thinking I'm crazy, cause who in their right mind loves a cool rainy day?
I may not always have been able to say this though. ( or will always be able too :) )
But I can honestly say right now, I LOVE RAINY DAYS!!!!
The reason why?
Cause summers are very very busy at our house. So when it's coming down rain out there all I have to do is worry about the 100 things in the house that needs doing, with out the 100 things out of doors hanging heavy over my head as well!!
It's the most wonderful thing ever!
I just put all my time and attention on the indoor chores and taking care of my sweet children.
And not worry a tiny bit about the weeds waiting to be hoed,nor about the peas that might need picked. Not butchering chickens . And especially don't need to bother about watering!
Yummy chocolate-chip cookies baking in the oven. Time for writing e-mails, working on a picture book I have in the works, and posting on my blog! Lay down for a leisurely nap later with a good book, and my Bible too.
It's a might harder to keep young ones occupied and happy on rainy day, but at the moment all is well that way too. They are all off on their own contently keeping busy. This must be my blessed day for sure!! :) ( I was going to say lucky, but I don't tend to use the word luck , just blessings. )
Maybe, just maybe, not every rainy day goes this smooth and sweet. But this rainy day is great one!!
Nothing like a good ole' happy rainy day!
Hoping your having a lovely one too!
In Him,
Mae
