Sunday Favorites/ Random Bullets

Favorites from Sunday

A few random bullets:
We are learning a new bible verse each week. We are doing it alphabetically. This week is the letter A
Psalm 18:30
As for God, His way is perfect.
We are going with very short ones so that even Caitlyn can join in.

The Treasures are LOVING the preschool version of UNO. We are playing with Clifford the Big Red Dog cards and they want to play all day. Caitlyn has us all saying UNA instead of uno. Jacob enjoys playing Chutes and Ladders out of all the games we have been playing. In the beginning, he was very upset to land on a chute, but the more we play he has adjusted to the fact that its part of the game.

We are having a warm day each week now so that is making the indoor days much more bearable. Last week we had a wonderful day at the park one day, it was around 70. Today however, it is 20-40.

Ryan decided he was ready to get his drivers license this past Friday. So he drove himself to co-op today.
I am so glad he did not do it right on his birthday. I feel he really improved in his confidence and abilties in the past 6 months. He has a girlfriend that is a very intelligent girl that moved here from Canada. She goes to our local fine arts school and plays the French horn. She LOVES to read and they enjoy one anothers company.

We are having spaghetti for dinner. It is simmering right now.

I bought the girls some darling Spring clothes at Children's Place this past week.
I also bought Caitlyn a Matilda Jane skirt for $14 dollars on ebay!
She wore it to church Sunday. It is large enough that she will get a couple of years out of it.

The message at church Sunday was about low roaders, middle roaders and high roaders. Many of us are middle roaders. Meaning that we are nice if others are nice to us, but Jesus said LOVE your enemies, that even the unsaved love those who love them. We need to remember to show the love of Jesus to the unlovely and take the high road.

Caitlyn is still not going to her class at church. She sits with us in big church.
She is not comfortable staying with anyone except my mom and it has to be at our house where she feels secure.

Caitlyn is beginning to love having stories read to her, she has carried around Princess books all day, yesterday and today. She also loves the bible stories at night. She does not sit very still. She has to move around, but is listening. We are working on the sitting down part.

We are reading Little Pear for our read-aloud right now. It is a book about a little Chinese boy. It is just a light, fun read. We are also reading short missionary stories for young readers. They are called Heroes For Young Readers. We read about Lottie Moon and her love of the Chinese people. Chloe LOVED this book. This week we are reading about Cameron Townsend and how he translated the Bible for Guatemalan's and eventually had a world wide ministry that invloved translating the bible in other languages. We tried the Missionary Stories with the Millers from our Sonlight program but some of the stories were a bit too comlex for us right now and downright scary, so these seem a better fit for us, for right now.
