"The Sabbath isn't just a time to be observed; it's a time to be preserved. The observer remembers to rest. The preserver rests to remember - remember that it's all about God. It's all about...letting God show us a better rhythm. One that will preserve the best of us and reveal the places we're getting off track and being filled with unnecessary clutter."
~ from "Unglued" by Lysa TerKeurst

Wow, I just finished catching up on nearly a month on your blog - I missed all the excitement! :-) I love how you call the Solomons home, because it really is. It's okay to have more than one, it doesn't mean you love the other less. (Homes are like kids that way, not husbands...)
It made me grin to see the people in the middle of your smiling, wet welcome party (and on the very left in the singing hymns picture of this post too). :-) Thanks for sharing so many pictures with us!
Inquiring minds want to know: what is Benjamin doing in the last photo? Audiating? Speaking? It seems he is focused on something beneath the page. :-)
Loving the learning,
Kayla
