Last Tuesday evening Hannah has her first little performance for dance. The parents got to come in for the last 5 minutes of class and the girls did a tap dance to "Just can't wait to be King" from the Lion King. It was adorable! Wednesday we made our weekly trip to the library and then we all managed to go to Wednesday evening service to see William and Robert sing in their first choir performance. It made my heart swell to overflowing to hear them sing about Jesus. Something about kids worshiping the Almighty is just special.
Thursday we had Bible Study. I cannot say enough good things about the Bible Study both for me and for the kids. They are learning so much. William is completing his weekly work and discussing it on a level with his peers in a depth that is unbelievable. The younger kids, though they don't have homework, are being taught truths that they can carry with them forever. Thursday evening we made a family trip to the park. It's been so hot and then so rainy we haven't been able to go much, so the trip walk was so welcome and freeing.
Friday we got to play with friends (the Williams family) at Altitude Trampoline Park. We had hours of fun running and jumping and climbing. It was hard to let it end. Saturday we did chores and ran errands all day, to the exhaustion of all of us. We came back and tried to rest, but although we'd been busy, we hadn't really been active. That's when Francis and I hatched a plan. We have an app on our phones called Safe to Save where we get points for driving without using our phones (which we should be doing anyway). The kids also got prizes for summer reading which included cards to Grand Station for an hour of unlimited arcade games. So with our points we were able to bowl for an hour and a half and play a game of laser tag for free. Then we played unlimited arcade games after that. The only thing we had to pay for was dinner (Pizza) while we bowled, so the whole nigh cost us less than $20!
Sunday we had Church and AWANAS. Monday was a home day, and today we had CC community day. Life's busy, but overall very good. It's far from perfect but I'm glad it's mine.
Andrew is sleeping well (except last night) and is trying to roll from front to back. He's so close! He's also discovered how to grab things, but he is still honing his aim. He's such a sweet boy and his siblings love him. We all do!
Till next time!
