Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

New baby!

Got on the computer to email family about the new baby and saw that Mama has this blog she never uses except to read testimony from other families. Daddy said I could post about my new sister here. Name not yet decide but ya'll she's just gorgeous.  I'm now the oldest of 11 children.

Poor, neglected blog

This poor neglected blog hasn't been updated since before Jonathan was born. I had imagined using this to work with the kids writing, and keeping up with dear family we never see but I'm just not much of a computer person.

I do like the encouragement I find out on the web when I go looking for it. Sad to hear about Vision Forum closing, but praying for all involved that they find themselves back on the path with the Lord.

 Also somewhat selfishly hoping some wise, brave person steps up to produce similar products! We love to look at their catalog every year.

The Arrival of Catherine Lydia and the news of the Woods.

We welcome Catherine Lydia about a month ago. She's happily settled in amongst her adoring brothers and sisters.

Lissie is expecting, praise the lord!  There was one month, where all of us ladies (Ruth, Lissie, Megan, Laura, Me)  were expecting at once, but I couldn't say anything because Lissie hadn't told anyone yet! Megan just had baby Basil (not the little ones real name! A nickname that started...somehow!) so with all the newborns around, it's made the wait that much harder for Lise and Meggie. Ugh, I just love it though. So much learning, and teaching, and growing to love the Lord.









"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them. They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."

Birthdays, beginnings and a new baby.

Well since the last time I posted Michaela has turned 1, Emily has turned 9, and the newest and smallest member has been patiently growing ( now kicking quite a bit.) We've also discovered that come May, this newest member will be of the ribbons and lace wearing variety.

Lisie and Max got married a bit earlier, last Saturday. He's already getting ready for farm work and construction so they moved it up a bit!

Ruth is expecting again. Although she doesn't know her exact due date she's thinking September-ish.



Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
