Had an anatomy check at my midwife’s office yesterday. Little David is growing healthy and perfect. He was lying in my belly upside down, with his butt sticking up and doing the splits! 😀 The ultrasound tech couldn’t stop laughing, she had never seen such a funny pose!

Striking a pose, showing the world what he’s got! LOL!

My husband is really into Amish and Mennonite culture lately (which is fine by me, I did half of my graduate thesis on the Amish). Our oldest daughter likes to dress as “Daddy’s little Amlete” to get maximum “you’re so cute” attention from daddy. It’s amazing how little girls pick up on those things and delight in pleasing their daddies. I love watching their relationship grow and I am daily reminded of the incredible power and influence that having a father brings to the life of a child and my heart weeps for the generations in our nation who have grown up without fathers because of feminism’s “I don’t need a man” mentality. 

It may sound odd but new research has shown that the unique properties in the dust found in Amish homes helps prevent childhood asthma. Essentially the microbes in the air that accompany farm life help boost the immune system and reduce inflammation. I’m betting that Amish dust helps promote health overall and not just prevent allergic asthma, that’s my personal theory. Living close to nature, as God intended has wonderful blessings.
