One Thing - 5/7/14

As of this morning, we have a preschool graduate in our family!

Silas looks awfully proud of his big brother 

 Jonah got the math award for writing his numbers up to 107. And, he got the alphabet award for writing all of his uppercase and lowercase letters. 

One Thing - 5/6/14

Yesterday, we received a bound book of pages that Jonah had made throughout the year practicing all of the letters of the alphabet, numbers 1-10, and colors. For each one, he practiced writing the letter or number and then drew a picture of something that began with that letter or that matches that number. These were a few of my favorites:

,'Today, I had the privilege of being a driver/chaperone for Jonah's last preschool field trip. We visited the Lincoln Children's Zoo. It was a beautiful morning to be out! I loved having some time with him and his classmates. (And, I figured that at 37 weeks pregnant spending the morning chasing a few 5 year old boys around a zoo might do some good!).

Riding the train at the end of our day

This evening, our whole family got to spend some time together outdoors as we went on a walk/bike ride. I'm hoping we can get lots of these walks in throughout the next couple of weeks. We're anxious to meet our baby brother!

Another lovely bouquet of dandelions

Lydia LOVES to be outside!

One Thing - 4/30/14

This guy has been under the weather this week. So, he and I got some one-on-one time today because of a doctor appointment. As we were leaving the office and heading to Target, Jonah saw a mall that we have been to a number of times and asked if we could eat lunch in the food court. So, we did! A little Subway for Jonah and Panda Express for me and some good conversation...although it wasn't under the best circumstances, I sure am thankful for my lunch date today!

One Thing - 4/29/14

Tomorrow is our last BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) class for the year. The kids have all had wonderful teachers this year who have faithfully taught them the book of Matthew weekly since September. Last week, I was a helper in Lydia's room. It was so good to see their faithfulness to teaching God's Word to even the squirmiest toddlers as the teachers made sure all of the kids heard the story and got to see and touch the Bible. Tonight, the kids wrote out thank you notes to each of their teachers. They are excited to deliver them tomorrow morning!

We enjoyed another beautiful morning at the soccer fields!
