Life in bullets

 

 

• The boys have been busy…. very busy!

               ~ It’s been interesting to see the shift from Joel being the one bringing home all the deer, to him stepping aside, sitting with the the younger boys, and letting them take the shots.

• The boys were very involved this year in the butchering.  Butchering 101 took place in the barn and the boys all dove right in.  The oldest two actually skinned a deer by themselves one afternoon while Joel was on a fire call.  We were all impressed at their ability and gumption.
• Assembly line packaging cut down on the amount of time it took to process the deer.  Joel has definitely gotten it down to a science.
• Our freezer is now full to the very top with venison… thank you Lord for Your provision!

 

 

 

• Our days have been full to overflowing with learning.
• There have  been many moments of life lessons.
• Moments of relational lessons
• Times of Spiritual lessons.
• And many hours of school lessons.

 

• We have been learning how to count money, add, subtract, and read.

 

• Learning how to do fractions, Roman numerals,  converting, and percentages.

 

 

 

• Learning how to read bigger words with fluency.

 

 

• Learning all about American History… while running a hot wheels car over your hair.  I’m sure there is some scientific reasoning behind this! If I asked him he would probably say something like this:  the friction from the tires cause the brain cells to accelerate into super cell mode and therefore enhances history learning capabilities.

 

 

 

 

• And most importantly we’re learning how to be who God has called us to be… a family who serves, loves, and works together.
