Our Week in Review

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Munchkin had a wonderful time at VBS (vacation Bible school) this week. Friday, they wrapped up the week with a presentation for the parents, so we could see all of the songs that they learned. Each age group of kids performed on different song on stage. It’s always fun to watch. I taped Munchkin’s performance for Daddy, so he’ll be able to see it when he gets home. We continued with schooling this week in the afternoons. In Bible, we’re talking about Jesus as the Messiah and John the Baptist. Munchkin continues with her 2 math programs (Teaching Textbooks pre-Algebra…

This and That

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Munchkin’s bout with the chicken pox ended last week. She was glad to get through that as was I. We did a lot of reading during that time period. It was amusing watching the expression on the children’s librarian’s face when Munchkin handed her to full reading sheets. This summer reading program is based upon the minutes read by the child (and/or read to the child), not books read. This actually works in our favor as Munchkin is now reading longer books, so it takes a bit longer for her to get through them. Munchkin is happily attending VBS this…

Chicken Pox

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Granted, it’s not a horrible case even though she has lots and lots and lots and lots of spots!! She’s uncomfortable but not horribly so. She’s also not itchy like crazy at this point. (We’re praying it continues like this…) Please pray that this goes by quickly and without much discomfort. She has VBS next week, and she’s really looking forward to that. For now, we’re…

Happy Father’s Day

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Holidays

Munchkin heard this song and immediately thought of her Daddy.Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!! Let Them Be Little by Billy Dean I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand.You felt so good in it; no bigger than a minute.How it amazes me you’re changin’ with every blink.Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon. So let them be little,‘Cause they’re only that way for a while.Give ’em hope, give them praise,Give them love every day.Let ’em cry, let ’em giggle,Let ’em sleep in the middle,Oh, but let them be little. I never felt so…
