Elliott's Bible Story

This evening Seth asked Elliott if they talked about Bible stories at school. Elliott replied, that they did. We asked which story they talked about today, expecting a short response, but instead Elliott told us this. "We learned about Abraham and Sarah. The visitors told Sarah she was going to have a baby and she laughed and said, 'I am too old.'" We proceeded to ask what the baby's name was and Elliott said, "Isaac." So we asked Elliott what this teaches us about God. Elliott responded this, "Well God said, 'Let's call them babies and give them to everyone'". It is so fun to see Elliott learning, maybe not fully understanding, the stories of the Bible. This also taught Seth and I how important it is for us to teach these to children. They are so hungry for knowledge at this age and they can remember so much, it is amazing!

Smiles

Grace

Peek-a-boo and the johnny-jump-up got a couple smiles and laughs out of Grace.

Pictures are up!

I am so excited because the kids photos are up on the photographers website for online proofing. They turned out very cute, but I realized it is much more difficult to get two kids to be cute at the same time.  Click here to view. 

Elliott's Jokes

Monday

My work outside of the home is done for a while. Now, I have so much to do at home. I have to do a lot of cleaning today and this week. I did find some pictures of the kids on Kari's(the photographer) blog. Check them out!
View some of the pictures.

Picture Day!

Today Grace and Elliott were photographed. Grace's six month pictures and Elliott's 4 year. It went pretty good. Grace got a little fussy. I am hoping that some of them turned out well. As soon as they are on the website I will post the link. Otherwise there is nothing new here. It is Friday and though most people are looking forward to the weekend, I am not. I have to work. I will be working my 24 hours worth of work in the next two days. I guess it will be nice to get out of the house, away from my normal responsibilities and I am very thankful for the work. Seth will be home with the kids. Those are long days for him, but it is a great way for him to spend quality time with Elliott and Grace.
