And the girlies loved their dresses. 

 

We had a lovely weekend, including a Sabbath Feast with Sean's folks and grandmother on Saturday night, worship with God's people Sunday morning, and another feast with family on Sunday.

 

Today we also played this amazing game called "Where in the World". It's a geography game, very cleverly designed to be fun and challenging for ages 8ish on up. (Seriously, if you're looking for an OUTSTANDING enrichment game for geography, check it out!) We played the easiest version, and my 8yo Andy skunked us all.  We knew he was a little odd this way...he loves checking out geography books from the library, he's decorated the walls around his bed with maps of all varieties, and he loves poring over this tome called Geographica during his rest/reading times.  We even gave him a world map shower curtain for his last birthday.  We knew he loved it, but we had no idea how much he'd absorbed until we played this game.  The kid is scary.

 

I heard a wonderful anecdote in the sermon this morning.  Apparently some communist bigwig had travelled from somewhere in Russia all the way to Kiev to speak at a large gathering.  His purpose was to disprove Christianity using reason, science and rhetoric.  He spoke for an hour and seemed to feel he had demolished the case for faith.  He asked if anyone had any questions, and one man came up to the platform.  He surveyed the crowd and raised his voice to confess: HE IS RISEN!  To which the entire crowd with one voice responded: HE IS RISEN INDEED!

 

All glory to our resurrected King!

And beautiful girls, too!

We had our own "geography whiz"! He used to pick up old world atlases at garage sales (you know, after the fall of the Berlin Wall and Communism, these things were obsolete) and carry them around in a bag with colored markers and mark the size of Poland at different times in her history (Mom, did you know that if Poland kept all the land it had ever owned, it would be the largest country by far?)

Enjoy your geography kid--he comes in really handy when Jeopardy! comes on tv!

Christ is risen INDEED!

Great dresses!! Good for you for keeping to this wonderful tradition of making your girls their Easter dresses, even after I read your choke artist article, which made me laugh.
What a beautiful and moving moment to have all those people chime that He Is Risen Indeed, that would have given me goosebumps!
Nice to meet you, come visit my blog. I just started up!
