Happy birthday Jaan may God bless you. Hi hunsuckers we live in australia and have been reading your blog for about 3 years (only about every 5=6 weeks) we have even prayed for you would not have commented except that you asked for comments I always felt that this was a blog for staying in contact with family and friends. anyway you are doing a great job and the reason i kept coming back was I would see the photos and think she's raising her children just like i did (to love nature play in the mud not many clothes lots of walks delighting in life) we started praying when you had to leave and start again where you are now I would like to ask you to think about a few things (pray about them would be better) 1st AO we use a modified AO because so many of the selections are ungodly and often just to much so take what is good and discard the rest also everyone is different and lots of amazing books are not included with them 'higher up and further in' site has lots of good ideas and using the bible as your spine is really the best way 'His story' there are wonderful art sites 'Harmony art mom' 'deep space sparkle art lessons for kids' just something to think about. 2nd this is far more personal I am a nutritionist and I just don't think the children are getting what they need I can see that you are very fine so that is a factor they may have gluten problems that stop them putting on weight (as you may also) other foods also can cause this. Do you guys have enough food around or money? (I said this was personal)Please pray about this (not a criticism but a concern)are you sponsored by a church or para-churchif its a money issue please email we have grown to love you all and pray that God would continue to lead you
