Shadybrook Acres: Hay Bales!

Hay Bales!

Our friends have a barn filled almost to the top with round hay bales. These hay bales have been a source of hours and hours of exploring and a lot of fun! Unlike square hay bales, with these there are big spaces in between and holes to explore. It almost feels like caving when we find several rooms connected! When anyone goes to the barn at their house we like to take a flashlight and dress covered all over because crawling in and out of holes gets us all scratched up if we don't. We often play hide and go seek there. It's a lot of fun, especially if we find a new hole were no one has been!

"May we remember as parents that we are His children, and that He is about the business of changing our hearts, of repairing our ruins, of remaking us. And though He has not finished with us, He has placed in our care His children. May He in His grace keep our hearts aflame for these children. May He give us minds like steel traps that we would never be distracted, that we would not forsake our calling. May He, the great Steward, make us faithful stewards of children, the most precious gifts, of which is the kingdom of God." RC Sproul, Jr.

About Me:

I've been married to my husband since January of 1987. In November of that year our first daughter arrived. Twenty-one years and seven children later, we are living a full life in rural Tennessee. Our children are ages 22, 21, 19, 17, 15, 13 and 9. We've homeschooled from the start ~ back when two little girls sat at their desks filling out preschool workbooks. Boy, have we learned a lot! Now we don't own any desks at all but instead we prefer to gather at the large kitchen table or in the living room with cozy blankets and hot tea to read many wonderful books. I really do love my life!
