What beautiful photos of your little one, Jeanne! My word, she has grown up so fast. I remember her as a little scrap when I fiorst started blogging! And I have been catching up - what a ridiculous ordeal to get your son on the bus. Rules. I sometimes wonder what on earth possesses the lawmakers around. But what a wonderful opportunity for him. Diana has left so I will be around more. Sorry I have been so silent, but seeing my daughter and spending time with her is the most special thing I have done for ages.
"Those seeking the life of the spirit should be cheerful and free, and not neglect recreation. Married people must act in conformity with their vocation--but their progress will of necessity be but the pace of a hen." --Teresa of Avila
"Some things God can teach us only very slowly, at the pace of walking, the speed of life." --Arthur Paul Boers, The Way Is Made by Walking
What does a hen do all day? Nothing but walk about in endless circles, pecking at this or that--yet she is one of the most creative and productive of God's creatures. Though my days may take me in circles, I pray for the daily fruitfulness of a hen as I nurture the four boys and two girls God has given us.
