Poppins took the four older boys on a fishing/camping trip this past Saturday. They really enjoyed being with the Johnson boys.
This past Sunday we went preaching in a poor (mostly Hispanic) trailer park in Cairo. Many of these people are without work, so we took hot dogs to grill, Bibles to give, and smiles to share. It was a beautiful day, and we really had a good time.
The boys challenged our Very Special Cousin to pick-up sticks. ChubChub is pointing out the next best strategic move...
Isn't it funny how everyone turns his head to "encourage" Josiah as he makes his move?
ChubChub is coming along nicely in his Spanish reading. He'll begin English school next year.
The Girl and Branch worked together on Spanish Bible. Mean Ol' Mama is pushing them harder this year, trying to jump them both into 5th grade by the end of the summer.
But look! These toys that a friend just dropped off sure are more interesting than all of the book work...
Stennes and Mean Ol' Mama are getting an heirloom seed order together for planting. It's so much fun to look at the catalogs, and of course, the vegetables will be just as beautiful as the pictures, right?
Josiah, Anders, and Stennes are trying to memorize their 3-page speeches by the last Saturday in January. They also have to come up with props and posters for their presentations. And just look at what Stennes and Josiah lovingly bought for Mean Ol' Mama down in Tallahassee when they went to Bluegrass Band: Orange Bergamot Mint and Chocolate Mint! Can't wait...Can't wait...Please come soon, warmer weather...
