Clair Comes to Visit!

Clair was able to come again this year for a visit to Providence Prairie. She travelled home with us following Jennifer's wedding and will return when we travel to Ohio for the Resor Reunion which will be held at Pike lake this year. We are so thankful that her parents allowed us the privilege to share in her joyful perspective on life. She is a bright spot on planet earth and God will use her for great things as she has a heart to serve Him.

Clair jumped right in and labored alongside us in so many projects, sharing in the joys of fellowship as well as playing and working together.

While we were still in Ohio, at Uncle Dennis and Aunt Adele's, Clair and Rachel spotted a very special project made by Jeremy. They decided that they wanted to try their hand at something similar.

So, some of the fun had while visiting was experimenting in paper mache. Since the infamous outlaw was said to be hidden out in a barn nearby our farmstead, another fun project was the making of a mini movie about Jesse James. Pioneer costumes were pulled out and others created to lay the plot for the capture of the villain in a non-historically correct mini drama from the era.
Clair played the part of a young pioneer girl named Nellie.

Rachel played her mother.

Others included were Indians and of course a lawman.

Trey was the narrator and descendant of the "lawman" in the movie.

Considering the small cast and that Ryan was not here to play the part, with a lot of make-up and padding, Amanda played Jesse James!

Of course, while dressed we opted for a little trick photography fun.

Rhonda taught Clair the basics of knitting and she is diligently working on a garter stitch scarf in a pretty variegated color.
Keep up the knitting Clair!
