Family Practice
I've been reading "Family Practice -- God's Prescription for a Healthy Home." In it R.C. Sproul Jr.(editor), Elisabeth Elliot, and others "...explain what the Bible has to say to and about Christian families."
I enjoyed R.C.'s reminder of our calling as parents...
"We bear God's covenant children in obedience to that command... that we be fruitful and multiply. We raise these children as the center of the garden we have been given to cultivate, seeking by his grace to raise them in the training and admonition of the Lord. We are teaching them that this is what God has called them to do, to raise up godly seed to exercise dominion over God's creation."

Bowmanville Zoo
On Friday we went to the Bowmanville Zoo!
We loved it... watched a neat animal show, and even got to pet a 4-month old lion cub named Temba!!
They also brought out a friendly ring-tailed lemur...

Church Picnic
We had a great church picnic on Saturday in Bruce & Elsa's lovely backyard!! We were glad that our missionary family could be with us! (Rich & Ange & their 3 kids are in Ontario for the month of July.)

God blesses our garden...
These five cucumbers were picked today,
plus another five earlier in the week...
"For the earth that drinks in the rain that often comes upon it,
and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated,
receives blessing from God..."
-Hebrews 6:7

Daniel can sit!
He was just sitting there in the grass for 5 minutes!! He won't be 6 months for another 10 days -- but he was 9 days overdue, so maybe that's why he's so sturdy already.
His first taste of a leaf... ugghhh! :)
