Hello Friends!
We are enjoying our visits with friends this week. Each time of fellowship has been absolutely delightful! I will post photos and memory making moments with you later for now, I wanted to share a video my Bekah girl made of her and I learning to ride a skate board... YES! You heard me right... I am learning to ride a skate board! Actually, one of her friends can do amazing things on a skate board and I had the crazy idea that I could learn. If nothing else... it gave me a good laugh!!! Enjoy!

Oh.. and before the video I have to share this sweet photo of my Bekah girl and I. It feels so good to have her home. She is precious to me!!!
bekah and momma





Have a wonderful day dear friends!
With much love,
Mrs. Joseph Wood

I loved it!

I watched every painful minute, LOL. No it was great. Let me just say you are a very brave woman, lol. I rode them when I was a younger teen, but now days, never. I break too easily now. Thanks for giving me a laugh.............Kitty

Boy, do I understand living off grid!
I would love to get a regular bound book for you, if you and your husband decide to get one.
It may take me a few extra days though since my editor/book binder/pastor is going out of town on a missions trip for a couple of days.
Thanks for your interest!

It's what keeps ya young!

What a great video. Would you believe my husband and I are going on a kayak excursion over the summer? I think it's great we're getting out of the box and trying new things. Not only does it keep us young, but I think it teaches us and our children that we can do just about anything if we at least try.

Your daughter is beautiful. What a darling family you have there dear friend! Thanks again for the heads up on the honey. I'm looking forward to checking their site out.

Have a good week!

more touched

I was more touched than anything watching the video. It was clear that you and your daughter have a great realtionship and had lots of fun together. THat is something I pray I will have with my daughter as she grows. I see so many teens who would rather spend time with their peers rather than their parents and I pray that we can keep a fun loving relationship with all our kids so that home is really where they want to be.

You nut!

Jeanette, you did GREAT on the skateboard! I am very impressed. I'm not sure I would have been still on it after 2-3 seconds!

Enjoyed every minute with you this week!

Love you!

Funny Things My Children Have Said:



After several trips to the emergency room with my Timothy. I said, "Timothy, you really must stop hurting yourself like this. Each time we go through that hospital door it is costing Daddy 100.00!" He sweetly replied, "Is there another way we can get in Mommy?"


As Ezekiel and I poured over the garden magazines we ran across the brussel spouts. Ezekiel had never seen them before and with excitment said, "Momma, Look! They sell bite size lettuce!"


As we prepaired to vacume seal our newly butchered chickens. My Beth-Joy said, "Mom I know we want to seal our chickens but I can't figure out how we are going to get that chicken through that skinny slot!"


Rebekah was blessing me and cleaning out my pj drawer when she came across a new bra that I had purchased. In all seriousness she said, "Mom I just can't figure out why you would buy a bra thats only good for 18 hours!"


Jed was about five years old when he ran out to the kitchen and met me with excitement saying, "Mom I think God made my wife last night! I counted my ribs and now I am missing one!"


Matthew and Samuel were playing when the girls and I overheard them and couldn't help but giggle. Matthew wanted to play house and have a baby but Samuel informed him that, "You can't have a baby, Matthew- you're only a 2T"


While driving I often lose cell phone reception with my Joe. I never realized how much the little ones were listening until one day I overheard them say, "Mom and Dad broke up again!" "No Mommy broke up with Daddy" replied Matthew. "No! It was daddy. He broke up with Mommy again!" Replied Sammy. As I listend I thought it was a good thing no one was ease dropping into their coversation- they would think my Joe and I had a pretty rocky marriage! LOL


While on one of our "girls days" Bethany was having a hard time falling asleep. Grandma encouraged her to count sheep. After a few moments of slience we heard Beths sweat voice say, "Thump" We all thought about it for a moment and then Grandma asked, "Beth what was the thump about?" "Oh, one of my sheep ran into the fence.. that's all Grandma." We couldn't stop laughing for at least an hour.
