Just an update on things -


I have been negligent about posting lately. It’s a combination of just pure busyness and bit of guilt because there is nearly always something better to be doing. With eight kids (plus the extras) running around and the myriad projects around the house there is always something better to do. If i ever lose sight of that i can always gaze longingly into the backyard at the garden and half completed improved chicken coop. . . On the bright side, it is not a complete loss. There is corn and beans, the broccoli did very well, and the pumpkin and snake gourds have made themselves quite at home.
(This is NOT our garden . . . but a man can dream!)

We had a fantastic camping trip the first week of August. One of the other “house church” fellowships had the brilliant idea that as many of the local fellowships should get together as was possible. So they set up the “Summer of Love” camping trip. No agenda, just a time to get together, talk, share, hike, swim and be silly in public. I think our mission of “just getting together was a total success. I can’t wait for the follow up trip next year.

The next big buzz around the house is the roofing project/six month anniversary of the Weeman Road house. Roofing, laughing, friendship, food, a campfire (with s’mores of course) – all the things the church was meant to be.

Here are some photos for all the family and friends who have fussed at me about not posting enough pictures of "the fam”:



Our next thoughts. . . surviving eating only locally grown food that can be purchased for a dollar a day. . .
