Our backyard "red-neck" waterslide

This past month has just flown by in a rush of travelling and activities!!!    Not much time for blogging or the computer!!!  It's been fun! 
It's been HOT, though.  The kids and I have kind of become "house hermits."    We have ventured out in the late afternoons on some days to play in the water!   The backyard pool can get a little old by the end of the summer.   Here's what they came up with to "mix it up" a little.:) 

They had so much fun!!  Who needs fancy waterparks!:)

A Book Review- by my favorite up and coming author!

The book I am reviewing today is Moses, Miriam, and Moses's Mom by Grace Uhner. 

Grace did the work entirely on her own including the illustrations, editing and binding.    

In the first illustration you can see Miriam hiding in the bushes while the Princess sends her servant girl into the water to retrieve the baby Moses.

In the next picture, the Princess is holding the baby and talking to Miriam.

This is the last page of the book.  As you can see, Moses's mom is overcome with tears of joy as the Princess (on the right) gives the baby back to her.  Miriam, too,  is very pleased to have her baby brother back.

This book has limited availability at this time, but if you wish to read it or make a request from the author be sure to let us know!
