children about Jesus and his love, which stamps itself upon the heart, and the heart is a far better place for the custody of truth than ever the brain can become.
I had a wonderfully simple (and sweet) Mother's Day. I awoke early (as usual) and a bouquet of flowers was waiting for me when I came downstairs. Beautiful flowers...they have such a way of lifting my spirits...simple as they can be. We were off to church early (as I am in charge of making our worship guides and have to go early to the church to print them off and fold them) and enjoyed a wonderful time of worship and fellowship. We got home in the afternoon, had lunch and then everyone spent a bit of time in quiet, reading (even Xavier who doesn't normally do so without a fight!). I eventually nodded off and took a nice nap. Later, after having a nice chat with my mom, we went and visited with Chris's mom for a bit and took her a lovely hanging basket for her porch. When we got home, the older two children put on a bit of a presentation for us for Mother's Day. I have pictures below! :)
Xavier made some things at our homeschool co-op for us...coasters for Chris and me...
...and a plate (and sweet notes) for me...he gave these things to us on Saturday. He was much-too excited to wait any longer! I love that my cheeks are hearts...
Madelyn sings and dances for us too!
A gift of *never wilting flowers* from Madelyn...
It's hard to see it but it says: "I riley (really) love you"...then he drew a picture of me with him. (The scribbled above his head was his *original* head but he told me he realized he made himself as tall as me and that wasn't right...so he had to scribble that head out and remake himself!)
Oh my gosh, such sweet mother's day gifts!
