We MOVED.....again!!

Oh,  more packing and unpacking!  Just when I thought we were settled, time to move again. Hmmm, lets do a quick count here, 08, 09, 10, and 2011---that's 4 moves in 4years!!!!!!!
 We have been searching for a while for a good house in a great neighborhood but never seemed to find~ the house~
Well, the timing was perfect and the house is too!  We moved a mile to the other side of town-where we don't have to phone the police weekly:) 

We can walk to the market, video store, pizza shop, burger place, etc.  It is a great spot!
The girls just love it:)  The 2nd day here, they took some packing styrofoam outside and pretended to be artists....doodling the landscape and stuff!



They love that we now get sunshine and that we have a picket fence around the yard. NOW, we are staying put.....until we build or buy:)

LOVE MAIL

I saw this idea on another's blog (thanks Holly) and I loved it.  So, we each have a mailbox.  There is a stack of paper and a pencil near them.  These boxes are for us to write proud moments, bible verses, thank you's, love notes....anything positive!!!



Then, each night at dinner, everyone opens their mail--if the flags up--and reads the notes!  The girls are loving it~~

Our Girls




We finished school at the lake today and then hung around playing and exploring for 3 hours!  They had a lot of fun and I am sure that they will sleep tonight:)

Psalm 23

Over the summer, I was inspired in multiple ways to teach my children Psalm 23.  I found an amazing curriculum for them at a teaching convention and worked it into their curriculum.  We began learning Psalm 23 2months ago.  It is broken up into weekly sessions so that they retain the info.  Anyway, Dalaina is amazing.  She retains the information so well:)  I captured her on film reciting what she had learned thus far--here it is:

I just want to point out that children are never to young to learn scripture verses!!!
