communication

I stuck my head out the door today to yell at the dog because he was barking. I saw Elijah outside with him and hollered, "Elijah, why is the dog barking." He hollered back, "Its because of me!" "What are you doing?" I yelled. "Its ok, Mom." he responds "I'm not doing anything illegal!" HMMM

Also today, Josiah came and asked me, "Mom, why do our fingers pop when you pull them hard?" "I have no idea Joe." I absentmindedly responded. "Because," he continued, "I just punched Silas in the face really hard and all my fingers popped." I began listening.

Riddle me this...




Can anyone explain to me what was going through Josiah's head when he decided to cut up his sheets with scissors?

8 cords of wood

This previous post showed the large rounds of wood that had been piled at our house for a while. The Boyd family worked 2 full days, wielding log splitters, chainsaws and various other dangerous implements. Some of the rounds were 4.5 feet in diameter. We had to use a 6 foot wrecking bar to inch the rounds onto the splitter.

Did we mention that 8 cords is 16 truckloads of wood -- all piled in front of our house. The Lord provides.




Luke and Silas carry the split wood to the wood pile.



Gideon is such a big help around the log splitter.



BEHOLD! Samuel, the king of the wood pile.



Josiah sports the latest fashion



What a cutie!
