Many days, our yard is a virtual carnival with numerous children parading in and out.  The way Sonja manages the home, the kids’ schooling, and all these visitors (while taxing) is a gift of grace from the LORD.  I’m not sure, but I think the fact that we don’t hit the children with sticks or hold up rocks towards them, encourages them to keep returning, even when we must turn them out several times because of other responsibilities.

Last week, the kids were playing games outside and Sonja managed to snap some pictures.  Here, the kids run around in a circle with one individual in the middle (way to go Dolly):

They also will toss one another up in the air by grabbing hold of the “to be launched” person’s arms:

When all was said and done, they even settled for a nice group picture:
