As if our journey through one of the first settlements were not enough, on Saturday we decided to spend some time "marching through" history.  We attended a local event called Marching Through Time, which includes re-enactors from ancient Rome all the way up through the modern wars.  We went to this event last year and the boys loved it, so we went again this year.  We enjoyed every moment.  The boys love trying on armor and talking to the re-enactors.  I love history too and am amazed by the wealth of knowledge that these men and women have to the particular regiment that they are "re-enacting."  They truly make history come alive.

It seems our family likes to live in the past.  My boys love history and we take every opportunity to do more, hands on learning.  Last week we went to Historic St Mary's City for their home school day.  The first settlement in Maryland.  It also is significant to the Catholic History of America as well.  Catholics came to St. Mary's City because it was one of the few places in the colonies where they were allowed to practice their faith (at first, at least).

1.  I do not like the new Blogger!  I miss the old format.

2. I read this blog post at (in)courage this morning.  Escaping the rut of want.  Boy, did it speak to me today.  The past few weeks have been hard spiritually and emotionally and I can totally identify with what Lysa shared in that post.  I have thrown temper tantrums in hopes to get God to see it my way. Do it my way. And it is embarrassing to admit that.

And this post will not inspire . . .

More coming at some point.
