Oh How I Love Her!

I think she is so amazing!


I was honored this weekend when she asked me if she could go running with me!  I hope we'll get to have many more Anna/Mommy jogs together.

Hudson and the Deck Stairs

We were on a mission over the long holiday weekend to convince Hudson that he could go down the deck stairs. Other stairs have been no problem but he has been very fearful of the deck stairs.
So close...but he wouldn't do it.

We tried to lure him with Cheerio treats but he wouldn't do it for one...

...nor for two nor for any other treats that we used to entice him.

Finally today the mere sight of Tim and John Caden running aournd playing in the backyard without him was more than his poor little heart could bear.  So with quite a wiggle wabble waddle he finally took his first step and made it to the bottom.

Homeschool Fieldtrip: Operation Christmas Child


 

What a neat opportunity the kids had today as they turned themselves into shoeboxes to learn how a shoebox donated to Samaritan's Purse journeys to a needy child across the world. We also were able to meet a former recipient of a shoebox and hear her story of how receiving the gift of an Operation  Christmas Child shoebox led her to the Lord and changed her life forever.
