"Fort" Pioche

Nicole and Jake the dog have new forts. Nicole's is actually a spot in a nearby tree. At some time in the past, we suppose a PK (preacher's kid) put a small ladder in a young tree in front of the parsonage. The tree has since grown around the bottom of the ladder providing a secure pathway to fun. This week we trimmed lower branches and wedged some wood in the limbs for a bench. Since then Nicole has enjoyed spending time in her "fort."

Jake's fort seems to be the hole he is working on beneath the deck in the backyard. Every day he digs like there's no tomorrow and then later watches as Jane shovels and sweeps dirt from the sidewalk back into the hole. It's become a fun game for him. Does this look like a fella who would do a thing like that?

Well, a picture's worth a thousand words. . .

We have seen how the Lord has fortified us here. We are encouraged by His recent provisions for us. We have seen His faithfulness in meeting our financial needs as well as providing encouragment in little ways. Thank you for your continued prayers for us.
