It is a busy Friday, but before I head off, I wanted to tell you about our school outing yesterday.

We joined the Russo family for a trip to the woods. We strolled through a lovely butterfly garden, walked along a nature trail and let the children play in the woods for a spell. The weather was beautiful, and it made for a very fun and memorable day. We did have a mishap when poor Caleb and Naomi were stung by some unhappy bees. I have included a picture of them pointing to their wounds. (Of course I had the Melaleuca oil handy, and we treated them right away:-) Let me reiterate, "Thank you, God, for wonderful neighbors!"
