Harding Christmas lights

Bedroom ceiling after a tree fell on our roof

Rotting part of the tree broke off onto our roof

Beauty in the midst of chaos. Watched Little Women at Harding University with church ladies. It was a good break in the midst of a busy weekend. That sunset was our view as Amanda drove me home from the play.

Kids enjoyed the other fallen tree

Enjoying the sunshine and watching the guys cut the tree down

On the 15th, we sang and celebrated Christmas in our home but I have no pictures to show. But here is a part of an email Cameron sent out to our friends. "As we have in years past, we will be hosting a time of Christmas Carol singing at our home on Wednesday, December 15th. Weather permitting, we will be singing in the park across the street and maybe in front of a couple homes in our neighborhood.

In addition to Christmas Carols, we are going to sing "And the Glory of the Lord" from Messiah by Händel."

Fall and Progressive Dinner

 Progressive dinner with local homeschool co-op families. It was planned for Reformation Sunday so we sang A Mighty Fortress and couple of other hymns. I made rice and chicken curry and lentil curry. The kids enjoyed the zipline. 

A sweet gift from one of the families
