What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

May Days

Today is July 1st.

Seems like the perfect time to post some May pictures!









(All of the above photos were taken by Adele') 

I'm sorry Adele'- they are just too good!





My dad planted two apple trees with the children while the cows contemplated how to eat them.  



homegrown asparagus.  Yum.



This is the puppy we decided to keep.  

Sweet as syrup and the same color too, we named her Jemima.

Her mother, Sadie, went and adopted our neighbor instead of us, because SHE lets her not only in the HOUSE, but in her BED.

(I can't compete with that.)


We hope Jemima continues to prefer laps to beds.



There are times when history repeats itself and this is one of them.  I am quite sure I even have a picture right here on the blog from years' past.   Not that I am going to look.  I can see it in my mind, clear as day.



We went to a book sale!  

Did we have room on our shelves before hand?  Nope. 
 
Did that stop us?  Nope.


A first fishing trip!  Moses is hooked!

(Get it?!)



He caught 15 fish- but Mr. W. had NOTHING to do with it.  ;-)



Holla for challah!

(Of course, I had to.)



Jemima broke through Andrew's thick exterior in two seconds' flat, just by laying upon his feet.  Very Ruth-esque, if you ask me.

Next time Matt and I fight, I'll know what to do.  It works like a charm!



(Another one of those reliving history moments.  With Grandma and Moses this time.)

Feeding these fellas is a full time job.

Is Andrew married? I’m noticing the ring on his left hand.

Ha! That is funny! You wouldn't believe how many people ask that question! (It makes sense though). No- he is not married. Or even ready for a relationship. Fact is, Matt's fingers have gotten bigger and his wedding ring no longer fit... so it stayed on the windowsill for a long time and Andrew swiped it to be funny. And then, never really took it off. Now, it is a serious topic of conversation. I'm hoping it will deter girls for the present. I'm not quite ready for another wedding just yet. :-)
