Finally, I am posting Hannah’s birthday photos. Her outing got delayed twice because of Peter and then me, being ill. She was very patient! Hannah loves studying clothing throughout history and so it was no surprise she chose to go to the Fashion Museum in Bath. It was actually a really fascinating place to visit and we got to see a dress of Queen Victoria’s among many, many other dresses from history. Hannah’s favorite part though, was the dressing up!
-
- The dressing up clothes were from the Victorian era. Hannah tried on as many as she could!
-
- Urged by Hannah, we all got into the act! (Hannah made sure I wore the complete outfit, including a corset and crinoline!)
-
- We took the train into Bath
-
- We had lunch at a fun place that board games you could play while you ate. We had a game of scrabble. This was after we messed up the board.
-
- Hannah still loves horses so here is her cake from this year. We are thankful that the Lord has put Hannah in our family and we are so enjoying watching her grow into a young lady who loves the Lord.
-
- Despite the very gloomy and wet weather that has been the norm lately, we have had a few nice days. The kids took full advantage of this one.
-
- Sweet Kaylah, not quite ready to climb trees, but enjoying the fresh air.
-
- Smile! The sun is shining!
-
- We just got a video series about a missionary family who live in the jungles of Indonesia (Growing Up Wild). We watched the first episode which shows the type of house they live in and how it was built. The kids went to the stream nearby and build a replica.
-
- They did a really good job!
-
- I love this photo of the oldest and youngest Mead girls.
I am feeling a lot better since I posted last weekend but still trying to regain my energy. Kaylah still seems to be struggling a bit. She has a fever tonight. Whether its from teething or connected with her cold, I am not sure. It will be great to be fully healthy again, but we are really thankful we are not dealing with more serious illness. God has been gracious to us in many ways. I have been convicted of my lack of thankfulness. It’s so easy to focus on the negative when we have a wonderful Saviour walking through each day with us. The kids and I have had a good week of schoolwork. Among other things, we’ve enjoyed some beautiful new picture books, finished a story about a dolphin, looked a bit at Rembrandt’s artwork, talked about the Roman Republic, the Battle of Marathon and Herodotus (Father of History) and started a new biography on Cameron Townsend (founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators. One more week and then we’ll have a week off for Easter.
Please pray for Peter as he speaks morning and evening the next 2 Sundays. Tomorrow evening, Hannah will be joining the worship group and playing her guitar. Thank you for praying for our family. We so appreciate it.
