Psalm 62
O God, you are my God, for you I long;
for you my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for you
like a dry, weary land without water.
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and your glory.

The Second Call: Partners — Jessica

Little brothers take on a big world.

Second Response: Studying Together — Cheryl

Stella was connecting the dots and filling in the blanks in her Singapore math book, when Jack decided she needed help.

First Response: Planning His Next Play — Cheryl

When any of the kids get out a cribbage board, a chess set or a board game during lesson hours, I do nothing to stop them. Games like these are great for learning about: math, strategy, human nature, diplomacy, fun and each other.

The Call: Hugs — Jessica

I’m back in storytelling mode. Cheryl, I hope you are not just completely fed up with me! : )

I was looking through the LensScratch website the other day and spent a far amount of time going through the “Family” portfolios.

I thought Kristen Schmid‘s photos were interesting (although sometimes a little difficult to discern from a snapshot) but the thing that stood out for me was the visual display of the relationship between the father and son. And the fact that there were two people in the photos.

This week, I want to concentrate on doing that too. I think a lot of my “storytelling” images are of a single person or single object. Introducing relationships among the characters would add more dimension to the story. That is something I want to explore.

By the way, here is an interesting book: the Craft & Vision series is a great bargin and I always learn something new. Not bad for five bucks.

The Second Response: Two Little Pumpkins — Jessica

October is pumpkins.

The First Response: October Leaves — Jessica

October means leaves. Beautiful red, orange and yellow leaves that light up like fire in the afternoon sun.

October also means raking and removing those leaves from the lawn.
