A sweet friend at our church gave us a baby swing to hang on our porch. We took advantage of the beautiful weather earlier in the week and let Vera try it out! She absolutely loved it. She was smiling and giggling the whole time!
Love those sweet little cheeks!
We were delighted to have Mimi (my mom) and Uncle Nicholas (my brother) visit us this past weekend! We had such a great time with them, and Vera really enjoyed all the attention she received! She even decided to crawl for the first time while they were here.
Here are a few pics!
We miss you guys already!
Things We Wish We’d Known (50 Veteran Homeschoolers Share) compiled and edited by Bill & Diana Waring
I started this in January, but I finished it the beginning of this month. It is AWESOME! I haven’t read a lot of books on homeschooling (terrible, I know…), but this is my favorite currently. If you are thinking about homeschooling or are currently homeschooling, you have to read this one. It is the equivalent of sitting down for coffee with 50 veteran homeschooling families and getting to ask them their one piece of advice to you as you homeschool. It is a fast, easy read, but it is packed with so much truth and wisdom!
The Ministry of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson
This is a great book on ministering to your children and training them in the ways of the Lord. Examining how Jesus trained His disciples, Clarkson lists ways in which we can emulate Jesus as we disciple and minister to our children. This was a very helpful book.
Currently, I am reading:
Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free by Nancy Leigh DeMoss (re-read; studying all year in our women’s Bible study; I’m three chapters in)
Don’t Waste Your Life (studying for 10ish weeks in our seniors/college students Bible study; I’m four chapters in)
Choosing Gratitude by Nancy Leigh DeMoss (I’m about half-way through this one)
So what are you reading?
