I can’t believe it’s been that many months since I’ve blogged. Well, I’m back again, and need to catch everyone up on what’s been happening over the past few months.

Since I’ve last written, the children still know their Bible verses, although we hadn’t been learning one, every day. They still quote a Bible verse before they pray at most meals. I haven’t even begun to teach them Hebrew yet. It’s still in my future plans, I’m just not quite ready for that one yet.

Our baby is now turning into a regular toddler. Complete with mispronounced words and stalling at bedtime. She’ll be turning two before too much longer. The time has sure gone by fast.

One new thing that our family has started is a band. The children and I have been picking up the Ukulele. I never thought that I would like playing Ukulele so much.

Well, my husband went out and bought me a fairly cheap ukulele for about $10 more than I was thinking. That’s o.k. I thought, he likes to splurge and by me nicer than what I ask for. I was thinking after I got the kids started on it, that I would just fade into the background and let them learn on their own.

How wrong I was. I had so much fun playing that simple ukulele. It wasn’t very fancy to look at and was quieter than both of the ukuleles that the kids had, but it was fun. So much fun, that I asked my husband for a louder one that was a good one. He was so excited that he found an instrument that I would practice and enjoy, that he ordered me a really nice handmade one from Hawaii. I’m not sure why I like it more than the other instruments I have tried in the past. My husband has tried teaching Guitar, which I know I could learn quickly if I really wanted to, but I usually wasn’t that excited about it. I also tried learning violin, but after a short time of showing a little bit of
