A very lovely sister
"From you, Ianthe, little troubles pass
Like little ripples down a sunny river;
Your pleasures spring like daisies in the grass,
Cut down, and up again as blithe as ever."
--Walter Savage Landor
Deborah listens...
Stephen thinks...
At a birthday party for a friend!
Our gracious hostess!
The Birthday girl!
Enjoying "The Mitten" by Jan Brett
Andrew bought a kite like Micah's--identical except in color!
Kite enthusiasts!
Have a peaceful day!
"The Man of life upright,
Whose guiltless heart is free
From all dishonest deeds,
Or thought of vanity;
The man whose silent days
In harmless joys are spent,
Whom hopes cannot delude,
Nor sorrows discontent;
That man needs neither towers
Nor Armor for defence,
Nor secret vaults to fly
From thunder's violence:
Thus, scorning all the cares
That fate or fortune brings,
He makes the heaven his book,
His wisdom heavenly things;
--Thomas Campian
I am so glad that some of you could come to my party. :)
ReplyDeleteKites... what fun and such lovely weather to fly them in! Is it hard, because of all the trees?
In Christ's love,
Johanna
We are very glad we were able to attend your party! What a nice time we had!
ReplyDeleteThe trees aren't as close as they look--no they don't have trouble with them!
Love,
Beth
I am sorry-- I forgot to send your Mom a party favor!
ReplyDeleteIsn't this weather glorious? :) We're enjoying every minute of it!
In Christ Alone,
