Shadybrook Acres: Tiny Frogs

Tiny Frogs

Our pool served as a pond all spring. SmokyBear spent every spare minute catching the hundreds of tadpoles swimming it it. It's hard to know if the cleaned-up pool will provide more hours of entertainment than the pond version. I dare say it will be a close contest.

When we emptied it Memorial Day we found some of the tinest little frogs. My camera had a hard time focusing on them but you can see here that one is so tiny it fits on the end of Tom's tiny thumb.

"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!
