Beautiful list...I especially enjoyed the picture of your little boy and his wheelbarrow and his willing "what-can-I-do-to-help attitude"!

ReplyDeleteImagine my surprise when I saw your face on Ann Voskamp's page! Fun to read your blog and made me want to get back in touch, especially as I am considering homeschholing next year! Love to you and your sweet family, and hope to catch up soon!
ReplyDeleteI jumped over from Holy Experience. I happened to post the same quote today. Chesterton's comment on thanksgiving and happiness are doubled by wonder really hit home for me. What a joyous face your little man has... thank you for sharing his wonder with us today!
