Pennsylvania!

My friend Alicia lives with cornfields and cows around her, and we even got to see her Amish neighbors with a front yard full of buggies for their Sunday house church service.

What a joy to see her sweet family. I love how Alicia has a kid a few years older than ours, and thus has that jump start in wisdom for how to deal with kids.  I love how we always manage to have a game night involving chocolate and popcorn and some new game that we usually incorporate in our Swedish family traditions…


And my nephew Josiah came along and Heath and Blake definitely loved him!  
(Mom, can we visit Josiah in Tennessee?) 

The drive there and back, however, was a long one for those three squished in the back...Foto: Great visit to Pennsylvania, one asleep and two to go...

And I also noticed how different Lydia is to a big brood of boys; fearful of the motorized car that touched her foot while the boys are clobbering each other for fun, daintily picking at her plate while the boys gobble down, and yet all those kids are so wonderful in their ways.

And both Alicia and Bo’s parents are always a highlight when we visit; Dan has a great way of consistenly reminding people to contact their congressmen and stay active in giving opinions in politics, and we can end it with a plug for Bo’s family business. 

Anyone want to order some grass fed beef? Alicia's in-laws run this company, http://www.valleygrassfed.com/    My parents just got the family pack this past weekend!

Systematic Theology, Chapter 39

*Just a reminder that this study of Wayne Grudem's book, Systematic Theology, is not by any means me teaching, but rather a simple sum...
