In my life this week…
- I felt back up to par! Good to get back in the swing of things :-)
- Special activities included: Celebrating my nephew's 4th birthday, Mexican food with two lovely ladies, a spur of the moment trip to the park, a planning brunch with the LWR gals, speaking on Transracial Adoption with my fave adoption peeps, a date with my hubs, visiting with my family, and a Sunday afternoon family flick at the cheapy theatre ("Chipwrecked")
- We utilized a great reading website online... review to come soon!
- We read aloud several Nate the Great books and The Hundred Dresses.
- Jeremiah finished his phonics book. He's making headway!
- We began studying Italy.
- The kids had music class with Mom and learned about their feet in science class at DRASTIC.
- Read aloud, read aloud, read aloud!!! Did I say read aloud? I always have the best intentions, but I know I don't do this as much as I should. Cuddling up with my kiddos and enjoying a good book is the best! One of our favorites this week was The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes. Yes, even my boys liked it, and we had a great discussion about not making fun of but rather standing up for others.
- My church! It's so good to be challenged... to feel a part of a growing, spiritual, missional body. This past Wednesday night's Bible Study was one to make you question and think. It generated some good discussion for Jon & I - love it! Then, today began a sermon series outlining SCC's direction. We're ready to Unleash a Love Revolution.
- Monday - Life Group! We're excited since we missed the last get together.
- Tuesday - Kiddos are having a Grandma day. Follow-up Dr. apt. for me. Then, Jon & I will head to church for the Steven Curtis Chapman Songs & Stories Concert. We're super excited to attend the VIP pre-show and work the America World booth. Stop by and see us if you are there.
- Wednesday - Rachel has speech, and we continue our Not A Fan Bible study at church.
- Thursday - DRASTIC co-op
- Friday - Galloping the Globe co-op, and we'll have dinner with good friends that we miss a lot!!!
- Seeing friends at our Adoption Support Group at church... just LOVE these folks!
- Reading Eggs is the bomb diggity! I can't wait to share my review of this online reading website. Much love <3
- Valentine's with the kiddos to exchange with other TOS Crewbie Kids.
- Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman
- Becoming Your Spouse's Better Half by Rick Johnson
- More by Heidi Marshall (finished)
- Some quality family time this week
- Deep, thought-provoking conversations with my hubby
- Good news on Tuesday!
- All those who will attend the Steven Curtis Chapman concert. May their hearts be both broken and renewed. May we all draw closer to the Father to the fatherless.
- Lots of opportunities to talk about adoption and America World with concert attendees!
A video to share...
- Many of you probably gathered around a TV to watch the Super Bowl tonight. In case your get together didn't involve Tony Dungy's halftime message, I want to be sure and share. I love when people speak out boldly on behalf of the orphan. Will you listen to his short message and be challenged?
