Besides walking the neighborhood, playing pickleball, and baking new recipes we did loads of reading while quarantined. Here are our favorites from April/May!
 |
| We read this for family worship in the weeks prior to Easter. |
 |
| After Easter we read this and watched the videos for our devotional time |
 |
| Read this book along with watching Ferguson's teaching on the Ligonier App. |
 |
| Love the truths in this book! |
 |
| A delightful love story that is so rare in our "modern" age |
 |
| After studying NK with Seth in homeschool, I decided I wanted to learn more and read this book. |
 |
| Both this series and the one below tell the creation, fall, redemption story in a wonderful fantasy type of way. |
 |
| After reading this, I think Anna has read most of Austen's works |
 |
| The kids have also been dabbling with the paints |
 |
| Seth made us a lemon cake with a whipped cream/lemon curd frosting!😋 |
Our first time in corporate worship was not with Cloverdale URC, but with a church that met outdoors at Kleiner Park. Josh Bales, the pastor of The Well, is a good friend of Russ and does the weekly radio show with him. We met with this church the first two Sundays in May (after listening to Russ' taped lessons) and have now met in our church for the past two Sundays. We sit every other pew, only socialize outdoors, and do not pass a collection plate. It has been lovely to be in church worshiping again!
Lest you think all the kids and I have been doing is reading, we have kept pretty busy at home. On nice days we have been doing lots of yard work--trimming trees, planting herbs, fighting aphids on the roses, mowing the lawn, etc. On not as nice days we've been organizing closets, sorting ten years of homeschool materials, and painting/freshening up rooms in the house. Now that things are opening up we have lots of appointments in the next few weeks--haircuts, dentist, physicals, mammogram. We have a senior track dinner planned at our home next week and we have a former seminary friend of Russ' staying with us next weekend. Life is getting back to a kind of "normal"!
