Medievil study

We're exploring medieval history in home school right now. I had a fun realization. We studied this morning about castle architecture and defense mechanisms. The skinny holes in the walls and battlements that archers shoot arrows through onto the enemy are called loops. Sarah was showing me her drawing of a castle and pointed out the loops. I just realized that this is where the term 'loop-holes' comes from. So cool!

Hey Renae, I am so glad to be able to reconnect with you. I am so impressed by all your ambition and hard work you put in for you fam. I want to be more of a teacher and self reliant. What a great little family. I think your daughter looks like Rachel, at least when she was little.
