I've added a new blog to my blog list along the lefthand side.

She lists natural remedies for all sorts of things and I want to keep it handy. You should watch her recent video about a plant that grows in your yard that can be used to draw out the poison of bee/wasp stings, snake and spider bites. How cool!!

Updates
Today we took baby girl for her 2 month check up. She is now over 11 lbs and has grown a couple inches! She had some shots today and is quite a cranky girl tonight. Other than that, she is doing really well and is a happy girl.
Saturday night we learned that one of hubby's friends (his boss at his old job) had passed away from a long battle with cystic fibrosis. He is now with his Savior but will be dearly missed.
We had a good Father's Day and got together in the evening with a family that works with hubby (some fellow Canadians!). The kids had such fun and we had some good fellowship with them.
School is going well and we are starting to get into a routine. My children are devouring books!!! Our 6 year old has started the Cul-de-sac kids series and has read the first 5 books in just 4 days. Our 9 year old has started the Viking Series by Lois Walfrid Johnson and is loving them! She reads me bits and pieces of the book and I love the God-centered writing. I'll write a post soon listing the books series our kids have liked.....I'm so thankful they enjoy reading so much!!
If you still haven't watched the video in my last post I encourage you to do so!!!

Mouk tribe video
We as a family watched this powerful video tonight from New Tribes Missions. It is about the Mouk Tribe in Papua New Guinea. It will bring tears to your eyes as you witness true conversion among these tribal people!
If you want a solid, biblical curriculum to teach your children, get their resources! Their approach is to teach the scriptures starting with Genesis to Christ. They teach who God is. They go chronologically through the Old Testament showing the need for a blood sacrifice. Then they present Christ as that sacrifice!
I purchased mine just before we moved and it is still packed away. I can't wait to get it out and start teaching the kids from it!! Here's the link http://www.ntmbooks.com/childrens_firm_foundations_set?category_id=5
To watch the video on a bigger screen dimension go here http://vimeo.com/9329683
