This picture shows a common sight around our house, the kids reading. I’m so glad that they have finally gotten that joy of reading. The better they read the more they will be able to learn on their own.
Scott and I took our kids to the Keepers of the Faith meeting today. Joshua’s group is actually called the Contenders of the Faith. I went to the girls class and watched them make flower arrangements. Scott got to help the boys make bird houses. Everyone had a lot of fun.
I stayed up late last night working on my assignment for the Institute of Children’s Literature. I was so tired last night that nothing sounded good. I was afraid that I would never get the story to turn out well. Then Scott suggested I get some sleep and work on it some more today.
He was right. I got some sleep and worked on it a little before we left for the Keepers of the Faith meeting. When we got back home, the kids were all wanting to play outside and Scott was working in the garden. I got the story finished! It’s such a good feeling when you finally get it done. Especially when you have someone read it and they react to it, exactly how you expect. Now that my story is finished, I’m going to print it and try it out on my best critics, my young’uns.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
(1 Corinthians 15:58)
Jonathan must be really smart. He’s got the biggest book. 🙂
Oh, yes, he learns quick. Mom asked if he stays sitting like that very long. No, he doesn’t. He’ll sit that way for just a few minutes feeling like a big kid. Then the very next picture after this one, he’s crawling across Ruth to get to Hannah. So he’s not so extraordinary for a 1 year old.
