Painting is All The Rave

Painting has taken over as the official rave at Shadybrook Acres. The girls are staying up too late and losing track of time when they are supposed to be going out the door, while they crowd around the art table in BLOCHhead's room painting or offering advice to the painters. Even TheLittlestPrincess was seen recently at the table with Kezzi, mixing her colors as she painted a picture that Kezzi and she drew together. I don't know if you can tell, but it's a picture of a couple of mermaids (with shirts on:) talking to a dolphin. She beamed when Kezzi praised her for mixing a great skin color.

Kezzi is promising to post some on her blog soon so stop on over. Pearlkeeper is working on a post about one of her paintings too, which will probably be posted today.

"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!
