Jeremiah 29:11-13
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

Ok ... what is Michael doing???
:) TJ begged all day for Michael to cut his hair. Michael has ONLY cut Caleb's hair....EVER. It doesn't look half bad though. :)
I'm glad he's only cutting his hair! I though maybe he was looking for tics or something!!! :)
Sounds like they had a great 'male bonding' day.
Hey! I found your blog b/c of Heather's....can you tell me more about the 50 states idea, or lead me to a site that does? Tabatha in GA.
Hey Tabatha. We used Adventures from My Father's World this year and loved it. It was our third year with them and we have yet to be disappointed. You can check it out here http://www.mfwbooks.com/adventures_my_fathers_world.htm
Let me know if you have any questions. :)
