Now That’s A Lot Of Wood!

Thanks to a side project Jesse has been working on we were able to buy a semi truck load of fire wood this year.  This is such a great thing for us since several hours for Jesse are usually spent away from the family in the woods cutting.  Now he can be at home with us and the kids to work on splitting and stacking this massive pile!  Such a blessing.  I definitely feel like a grown up though now that I am excited over a load of wood!

Let the splitting and stacking begin. 

Here it is all unloaded on the edge of our property!

And here is a picture of what we already have.  So between these three wood piles and the new load we are anticipating having enough wood to burn for the next 3 winters!  What a blessing that is. 

Flambeau River Trip

This mother’s day weekend we packed up and headed to the Flambeau River for an overnight camping trip.  We started out with snow on the ground on Saturday morning but by the time we started paddling mid afternoon it wasn’t too bad!  Temps dipped below freezing that night and we woke up to frost but it just reminded us of God’s awesome creativity in the seasons and weather.  We stayed warm overnight since we were prepared for low temps and packed accordingly.  It was a great time filled with fun memories.  As all our camping trips are.  Thanks Gramma Schutt for watching the little kiddos while we were out!

Here are some pics from the trip….

What I’ve Been “Up” To!

We spent last Wednesday and Thursday setting up the High Ropes Course for its second summer as a significant ministry tool of Camp Forest Springs.  Without thinking too much, I volunteered to tie the Tetherball…

Do I look serious? This is why ↓.

Everything came together nicely for the setup and we are excited to see how the Lord will use this course in people’s lives this summer!
