I'm sooo ready for Spring--and fresh, home-grown produce. Our indoor lettuce didn't turn out as good as we hoped. Tomato plants are doing good, but we just have blossoms so far. I've been reading about the benefits of Purple Sweet Potatoes. Does anyone know where to buy them to plant?
This Winter we have not needed to use our dryer much. We wash one or two loads every evening before bed. We then string up our clothes lines across the living room. They dry overnight near the wood stove. Then we get them folded and put away before breakfast at 7:30am. It's been nice not to have laundry to do during the day.
Matthew turned 7 months old yesterday. He also got his first tooth yesterday.
We have been really focusing on school, with a few sewing projects in between. It's been good to stay on track with that. It's hard to believe that in a few days Bryce will be 16 and have his licence before we know it. How time flies.
Lately a Hopi family has been more involved with Bacavi Church again. We have been so blessed to have times of fellowship with them. God is truly working in their lives. A week and a half ago they were blessed with a baby boy. They have prayed for a son for many years. They have five girls. We are looking forward to Mathias and Matthew growing up together.
The ceremonies have started up again here in the villages. It seems there aren't as many children that are coming up, since the ceremonies have started. They tend to be pre-occupied with those.(they will start to come again as it warms up) The frequent times we had with them, prior to the ceremonies has been good though.....they have shared more of their heart with us. I was asked recently by a young girl, if we could adopt her. It is so sad. I know things have been rough in her home. So we continue to pray for hearts that are broken before God.....including ours, otherwise we cannot be a light to those around us.
Oh, I almost forgot. My recent test for cancer was negative again! PTL!

We were looking for ribbon for a sewing project, and Matthew decided that he LOVES ribbon!! He thought it was just the greatest thing!
He wanted to read Nate Saint with Seth.
This was back when he first started to eat solid food. And back when Sharayah first started feeding him solid food. The result was...a mess!

It's so good to hear from you guys and to know that all is well. I love the photo in your header. Any chance we could get a print of your family? We have old photos framed on our wall but none with Matt in them....
Love to you all.
The sad thing is, we have printed that pic and it has been sitting here in envelopes for.....hmmm...at least 3 months. We had this brilliant idea that we would add a letter to that and...
