Well hello there, nice of you to drop by. Things are pretty busy here right now, cutting my Internet time down dramatically. Where once I could grab an hour here and there, I'm blessed if I get 20 minutes in the morning before everyone else is up. Today I am typing while my four energy balls dance around in the front room.

We're studying ancient Egypt in school at the mo, and naturally mummification has caught their imaginations. Thankfully I've had no adventures with toilet paper and table salt. We're hopefully going to visit the Egyptology exhibit at a local museum on Saturday, which should be a lot of fun.

We're back to doing catechism in the evenings, before our time of family prayer. Each of the children has a certain style of prayer. Reuben thinks volume is the key, yelling his simple little prayer at the top of his lungs. Aurelia is our little intercessor, with about 30 people on her list. Connie is very serious - her list is shorter, but she likes to put a lot of detail in. Eden, well, for Eden it's all about Jesus - she rarely forgets to pray in thanks for His sacrifice.

So that's how things are with us right now. I do hope to return to regular blogging at some point - it's not like there's a shortage of material out there or here - but time constraints are the issue here. In the meantime I do plan to keep checking in here from time to time as I have the opportunity.
