What I Learned This Year...

Cricket's description of what she learned this year:

"This year I learned how to play volleyball, change a baby's diaper, say "Yes, Mom," learn cursive, bake, do change, typing, Prince Caspian, to be a peacemaker, sacrifice, braids, use paragraphs, Star Wars, make a tree fort, long division, make coffee, Fort Knox, baseball and art.

Next is what I want to learn: astronomy, sign language, computers, chocolate, coconut."

Yes, by God's grace, she did learn some academic things during our busy year with the new baby. And, it warms my heart to hear that she has learned some important lifelong lessons about serving others and being kind to her siblings through peacemaking. To God be the Glory...

Thankful Mom

TIMBER-LEE

I just came back from Camp Timber-lee. I left on Sunday and came back on Saturday. My counselor's name was Brittany. I lived in Oak Ridge 2B. For one week I lived with 5 other girls.
I already knew 1 of the girls. Her name is Mariah. I kind-of knew an another girl and her name was Emma. The other 3 I had never seen before. Their names were Emily, Mary and Kathryn (but everyone calls her Kate.) But over the week we all became best friends.

My favorite things were swimming, jumping off the blob, going to the art and leather shop, acorns (acorns is like an arcade without electronic games), rock climbing, climbing the 63 steps to our village (not kidding) and horseback-riding. I rode 2 different horses. Their names were Sam and Shicain.

The food was excellent. The last day we got ice cream at breakfast.

I CAN NOT wait to go back next year.
