We are going through serious attack right now, both spiritual and physical. I am not able to talk about it on the blog, but this past weekend was harrowing and we need serious, emergency prayer. Please pray for us every time you think of us, if you can. We are seeking God's protection over our whole family, but also prudence in us. We wish to do the right thing at the right time for the right reason. Prudence.

I'm posting our dinner plans because I am going to try to keep our lives in as much of a normal pattern as I can. I don't know how well we will stick to our meal schedule, to our school schedule and homemaking schedule, but I think it is very important to at least try to keep some semblance of a schedule for stability's sake. I don't think our children will be getting much out of our formal studies this week, it is more that we continue in it to keep their lives as normal as possible.

• Monday: Bean, Kale & Sausage Soup from Freezer, Baked Rice Balls, Crusty Bread


• Tuesday: Enchiladas Blancas, Tomato Rice, Salad


• Wednesday: Grilled Scallops, Garlic Pasta with Escabeche Sauce (I picked up a fancy sauce on clearance a long time ago, so I'm using it here), Salad
