I am a Catholic Homeschooling Mother of a large family trying to live out God's will for me one day at a time.I once read the following quote " How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives..."I have been really inspired to live my vocation more effectively and joyfully by reading other Moms' blogs and I hope to add what little I can to the mix.

Strong Current
Once again, our area was inundated with a lot of rain. We decided to check out a small creek behind the house to see if it was deep enough for swimming! Notice the difference between Sam and Juby's interpretation of the weather. I love the optimism of the goggles!
John went out into the center of the stream but we let Miss J. go no farther than the edge after he reported that the current was quite strong. Its depth was just above his knees and chilly!
Sam, cautiously, obtained a long stick to help him get out if needed. Of course, I would have assisted, if necessary.
This one was sturdier and gave John added confidence which was all part of the fun...He wasn't having any real problems.
While we were out in the woods, the boys found a very large salamander.
High water has certainly been in the news lately and we were excited to be able to experience some for ourselves.
