Kindergarten

So this month we've officially started our homeschooling adventure....the day before kindergarten I asked Celia to read the following 2 sentences after teaching her some sight words.....impressive huh? do you like the illustrations?

Here we are on day 1 of Bible time- I read the girls out of the Children's story Bible and they are coloring a picture of the story- I hope to make them into a book at the end of our year (? or when we finish) that will be Celia's illustrations of the Bible....

Celia's kindergarten photo shoot- she wanted to pose everywhere!

So far we've had 2 weeks of school- I'm layering in the subjects. Tomorrow we start Math. I'm lukewarm about teaching it- very excited for our literature series that will start the following week- pray that we continue to like it!

my three girls

I cannot tell you how much I just adore having little girls- I know some may say I'm missing out on little boy things- I admit it, I am to some degree- but I cannot imagine trading this for the world- God gave me such a gift when He chose these 3 little girls to be mine- they are a joy to my heart! Finally Milla is getting big enough to join in much easier- this is her first official day of playing dress up with the big girls-

Bennett's take on life

Sweet Bennett

My sweet Bennett is a constant surprise to me- She has a very unique way of phrasing things and approaching life in general. I so wish I could bottle this precious time and save it for days later to come- she's such a joy and gift to us- I know I should be recording her thoughts and statements regularly....

here are a couple from this week that make me smile:
While playing "Guess Who" with Celia she asked if Celia's person had "december white" hair.

Tonight at dinner she wanted to say the blessing and she said the following "Dear God, I hope you help me make my disobeys into obeys." Oh that I would pray that simply. Its really what it boils down to in so many ways.

Love you, B.
