    On November 11, more than 400 years ago, a group of lost and beleaguered travelers covenanted together “in the name of God, Amen.”

    This covenant, known as the Mayflower compact, was the basis for a new republic that would be blessed beyond all peoples. Blessed to be a blessing.

    This event explores the blessings of covenant communities in society, in our churches, and most importantly, in our families.

    This is a full-day event for the whole family. There will be time to work on your own family compact as you consider questions like: What are we aiming towards? What has God called our family to do? How can we build stronger families and stronger communities for the days that are to come?

    A great day with fathers and sons. We shot arrows, threw knives and talked about leading our families and raising godly sons. We ended the day with each family making their own crest where every shape, color and symbol meant something unique to their family.. Just as every vision God gives to families is unique and significant. Thanks to Jared Dodd for making the trek up from TX to speak into these dads and sons!
    A manure spreader is a real good time. Like confetti shooting from a parade float. 🎉 Plus, it’s an entire winter’s worth of barn poo put to good use to fertilize the field. Think of what a fantastic system that is that God put in place for us. (Also, there is a certain time of night that the sun turns our barn into a candy cane...)
    We are 33 weeks pregnant this week and feeling very excited to have a baby in the house again. 🥰
    Rory has a nickname for each kid. Hattie is Sugar Plum, and for weeks she has been telling me that she wanted to ‘give Dad a plum filled with sugar!’ for Father’s day. Her idea caught on and each kid gave a treat that matches their nickname. Rory’s favorite calling is to be a dad. (If you know him, you know this to be true.) Which makes him very easy to celebrate. I’m so glad to be teamed up with him.
    Backyard camping for Father’s Day! A really good time (and 100% my idea...) but I slept on the crib mattress and am feeling totally fine about sleeping in my bed tonight...
