Yes, that scream that you heard was me. I was yelling because my computer has crashed for yet a third time in just over a year. This time, however, it had help from two little hoodlums. One with the last name of Tinkel and one not (next door neighbor boy). They decided that it would be fun to play Toontown on my computer, tripped over the cord where it was charging, and down came computer, hard drive and all. I am presently trying to install Ubuntu. Ubuntu miraculously was able to retrieve all of my data from the other two crashes, and I am praying it can retrieve the files from this hard drive as well. Such is life. It really is partially my fault. I knew that there was a screw missing from the hard drive and, sure enough, it fell out and was obviously damaged. Pray that I can retrieve the files that I need. I am on my wifes computer right now and will keep you posted (no pun intended ). Thanks for all of your prayers.

Finally some pictures of Day Camp 2 ~ held last week. The slide show begins with some Bible Teaching and general pictures, followed by some of our game time and, of course, water day pictures! The best pictures this week are of our baby food eating contest. Two teams lined up and they had to run down to a chair with bags on it, pick a bag, open it, and eat three bites of whatever baby food was in the bag. Of course we picked yummy vegetables and meat foods. As you can see by the looks on the kid's faces they will never complain about Mom's cooking again!

Thanks, everyone, for all of the prayers and support. In the environment that we are working in, there is a lot of distraction and constant drama. Your prayers are deeply felt, needed and appreciated. Please don't stop! We have another week of day camp next week. I'll be blogging about that one as well, so keep tuning in!

I am super excited! I have made the blog lists on two different very influential blogs!

The first is a blogroll from a great homeschool website called "Heart of the Matter" - 

Join Blogroll

Heart of the matter is a great site with lots of tips that don't always have to do with homeschooling. So, please visit the site and some of the other blogs on the Blogroll!

The other great list that I made has to do with something that's near and dear to my heart ~ Compassion International. I made their Compassion Bloggers list. Please click on the following banner to get to the list and visit some of the other great blogs that promote "Relieving Children in Poverty in Jesus name."
