A Blessedly Busy Day

Today was a busy day, but it was a good busy. It was one of those days full of tasks, but they were the type of tasks where you got to actually see the fruits of your labors.

We made apple butter with some of the apples we bought in Versailles. The boys love being involved in tasks like this, and it's always a wonderful time to squeeze in some learning! (we did quite a bit of apple counting!)


Joseph decided that he needed to "sample" the apples....just to make sure that they were good enough to use! :)

One of the loveliest things about making apple butter is the delicious aroma that fills our home while it simmers on the stove. Yum!

We also made 2 loaves of bread. I love the smell of bread while it's rising....maybe even as much as the smell of it freshly baked!

Jacob worked on his school work while we waited for the bread to rise. This afternoon I found a little time to work on the pink quilt, in between stirring the apple butter and washing clothes and changing diapers and playing with little ones. Yes, it was a busy day, but a blessed one indeed!

In Christ's Love,
