Happy 3 months Gabe


I cannot believe my baby boy is 3 months old already. Where is the time going? Gabe is such a happy baby. He always has a ready smile and loves cooing and laughing at you. He has such a sweet personality. We love you Buddy Bear!

We have been learning - I promise!

Sorry for the lack of updates on our school year.
Just thought I'd update quickly with what the kids have been learning - sorry no pics this time.

Mj (1st grade):

Bible - We finished reading a biography about Adoniram Judson. Mj really enjoyed it. We're now talking about how God gave us the Scriptures and how important it is to read our Bibles.

Phonics - Suffixes and prefixes have been our focus for the past week.

Reading - Lots of fun stories that he has enjoyed reading.

Heritage Studies - We've been talking about the 4 basic needs that everyone has - food, clothing, shelter, and love.

Science - We've studied sound. Sound travels in all directions. Sound travels through liquids, gases, and solids.


Jadyn (tot school):

Jadyn's vocabulary is just exploding right now! It's so fun to listen to her talk and talk.

We've been working on colors. She knows that buses are yellow.

She's been doing such a good job with her puzzles and shape sorting.

She's been enjoying drawing on the erasable board and wall (thank goodness for Mr. Clean Magic
Erasers!)


Only a couple more weeks of school. We're all looking forward to summer break!

Indescribable

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty.
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings, all exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name.
You are amazing God.

All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
And we humbly proclaim
That You are amazing God.

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow?
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night, none can fathom.

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name.
You are amazing God.

All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
And we humbly proclaim
That You are amazing God.

Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart
And You love me the same
You are amazing God.

"Close Your Eyes!"

Our New Set of Wheels

God is so good. Mark and I had started to look at a bigger vehicle after Gabe arrived once we saw how cramped the 3 kids were in the back of the Volvo. LOL. We decided that we'd get one next year unless the Lord placed one in our lap. Well, guess what?! God placed this beautiful Explorer in our laps!!! We absolutely love it and it has a lot of added features that we would never have even in our wildest dreams imagine we'd have in our car. I love knowing that God cares about the little things, like a sunroof, heated seats and the color blue!=)

Isn't she a beauty!

Sweet ride!

Now our kids fit comfortably!=)

Yes, we now have a DVD player - just for special occasions! ;)

Can you tell I'm happy!=)

Happy Easter






The week before Easter, we took devotions time to read over Passion week and act it out around our Resurrection mountain. Our pastor gave us the idea from Noel Piper's book.

Jesus entering Jerusalem.
The Last Supper
Garden of Gethsemane

Crucifixion
He is risen!!!

Happy Boy

Rejoice!

Our church's hymn of the month for March was Getty's "Come People of the Risen King." Jadyn loved this song and would sing the chorus "Rejoice" with us. Here's her reading the music from our book and singing "Rejoice!"

How Deep

Remembering what Christ did for me on this Good Friday! Thank you Jesus for Your Love!!

You were broken that I might be healed.
You were cast off that I might draw near.
You were thirsty that I might come drink.
Cried out in anguish that I might sing.

How deep is Your love?
How high wide and how high is Your mercy?
How deep is Your grace?
Our hearts overflows with praise
To You.

You knew darkness that I might know light.
Wept great tears that mine might be dried.
Stripped of glory that I might be clothed.
Crushed by Your Father to call me Your own.

How deep is Your love?
How high wide and how high is Your mercy?
How deep is Your grace?
Our hearts overflows with praise
To You.
