New Beds!

All the children have new beds!  and they are VERY excited about them.  We put the older 2 in bunk beds and decided that while we were rearranging things we might as well put up Elijah's crib and set up Hudson's old bed in Elijah's room.

Switching an active toddler from a crib to a toddler bed can be scary, but honestly for Elijah we were not really anticipating much change.  This child was so proficient at jumping out of the crib that a toddler bed wasn't going to be much change for us.  We were right.....thank goodness.  He has been sleeping great and we are still working on training him what to do when he wakes up (we were having to do that with the crib too).  Our youngest seems like such a big boy now!

Words of Encouragement

"Teaching our children whose they are and what it means to be made in God's image infuses their lives with meaning and fills even the mundane nooks and crannies of life with significance."

1st Days of School

                   

Hudson and Parker both started school today!  They are both attending the same school.  Hudson is in the 3 day Kindergarten program and Parker will be attending preschool 2 days a week.  Both of them had a WONDERFUL day!  We are so thankful for the school they attend, they love our children well and they do a fantastic job teaching the kids about God's character and His Word.   In the next few days I will post a video interview with each kid from the first day of school.....It was so much fun!

Parenting......

"Parents are to think about and remember Jesus Christ and then train their children to understand how everything in their life - their joys and sorrow, their trials and labors, their doubts, sin and shame - is to be understood and approached in the light of Jesus Christ, who descended from David rather than from Levi, died and rose from the dead."
