Thank you Ephraim (12) for putting these pictures on for me.
This is Naphtali Royal Courage. He is 3 now. This is Zuriel's birthday. She turned 6. Havilah is 10. She crotcheted the red hat for Zuriel in one day. The pictures were taken in our dinning room. Across the counter is the kitchen. When we look out that sliding door we see into the 5 acres of woods. Before the wood is the backyard. To the right is the garden and the goat yard.



Mama and Zuriel hug and kiss. Mama gave Zuriel the scarf for her birthday. The scenery picture is what we see out the living room window or if we go out the front door. The road is Rourke rd. It was paved once and is very rough now. This keeps the only neighbor that drives past us from going fast. It is a dead end road. Before the road is a large grassy area that the kids use for soccer type games. We are considering using this for pasture.

Papa took Zuriel out and bought her an ice cream and a crown. Then they came back and we had healthy cake, and strawberries.
Asaph is now 8 years born. You can see that juicer in the background. I still use it at least every other day. "Thanks dad".
I make these clothes. The boys shirts turn out too low cut. I just figured out how to make them better. We'll see.









Zuriel received a couple cards from her
Grandma and Grandpas. She opened them at our desert. Thanks Grandpas and Grandmas.
Other updates: We are playing some songs at the CASI adoption picnic. Our home study went very well and is being typed up for 1-2 children from Liberia. God gave us chickens, chicken stuff and a freezer this week. We also got a good, almost new mattress for $20 and a bunch of clothes for 5 cents a piece. Thank you God. We still need stuff for us and the new kids. I will try not to neglect reporting of all the Lords provisions.
We are coming to the Portland Vancouver area from August 27th through Labor day. We are playing a show at X-fest that Friday.
Most importantly, Nehemiah is now cooing his adoration to us with little to no coaxing. Have a great day! Snuggle your 12 year olds. If they resist, have a good wrestle with them. It's virtually the same thing.
Love, Jennifer
