A Couple of Days
Yay, Steph has finally finished her schooling. After years of homeschooling and the last two years of nearly regular school, she has finished. Stephanie has been such a good student, doing all her work without prompting, but Yet not stressing, because she gets the bigger picture. The thing I am most greatful is the fact that she has loves the Lord, and is a lovely young lady. Only recently she said to me, that she is most greatful for the things that Jared and I have taught her, especially regarding the Bible. When she said this, it bought tears to my eyes, what more could I want? I have a greatful, sweet girl, who walks in the truth.
We met Stephanie at the end of her final exam with some balloons. She likes pigs so the kiddies choose them for her. She had to have her exams at Bayswater secondary college. We went out for tea at night to celebrate. We gave her a Bible that she has been wanting.
Although it was a lovely meal, I was more interested in the two fish eating a dead fish in the fish tank right next to me. One little black fish was amazingly cute, but yet vicious..
Speaking of fish, our neighbour across the road gave us a huge snapper for dinner. I have never cooked fish so fresh before, it was creepy having the eyes still on it!
Ain’t it big?
Friday we drove down to Moe, Lachlan was with us, but Jared was at work. We spent the day walking around, visiting our once regular spots. We went to some op shops, found heaps of Trixie Belden books for 20c each and beanie bears for 50c each. We bought 19 of them, half we will be giving away to a little girl who has just started to collect them.
and
Sat. we all went and did some gardening. Our garden is out of control right now. It will take me weeks to get it tidy. 
The pool needs a bit of work too, ugh! In the afternoon we went to Ikea with the younger two children. The bonus was that outside, Anaconda was giving free Kayak demos. Both Camden and Cassandra got to ride? one for free, oh yeah! Bonus.
and
Today we went to Church, then waited for Jared to preach in the next one, joined him for a fellowship lunch, and then waited again for Jared to have a meeting. Once home the kiddies jumped into a cleaner pool, freezing…brrr.
Lots of fun going on in your place…..I wish I still had my complete set of Trixie Beldon….gave mine away as an impulsive teenager. xxx
LOL must have been the day for it… no real pool here but the kids decided to fill up the paddling pool and play with water guns for a couple of hours Sunday arvo… a warm bath was then needed!
