I decided that I would blog about what has been going on or what is going to be going on!!

    My great grandparents anniversary is the 20th, but we are having a dinner on Sunday in honor of them. This is going to be very special. We have really gotten closeR to them in the last year than we WERE before.  

    Alatariel  has been doing a family scrapbook for them, and I am doing my grandpa’s service album.

    It is really interesting to see what he did. I don't have pics of when he was in the actual war zone, but I do have when he was in training, and when he came back, and I have postcards, awards and such.

    It is fairly easy except for the part where Al  took all the pics out, and didn’t mark theM!!

    I had to go through them and figure what were Alike and what times the pics were. But besides that, it is going well.

    I just finished getting all the pics in the right order and got them situated the way they need to be on pages!!

    We had the appraiser come yesterday!! We had been cleaning like there was no tomorrow the day before.

    I had my doubts whether we would actually get done what we needed, but we did!! Everything was in tip-top shape when we came!! It was funny actually!!

    He came in and said, “WOW!! You have a big house!!” Then he looked around and said, A-“How many kids do you have??” M- “Seven” A-”We have nine. We have you beat.” M-”Well he have one on the way, so not that far off.”

    The Appraiser walked outside, came back in, A- “Do you homeschool??” M-”Yes.”

    he did his job, and was very friendly about it. Then left.

    After that we got some lunch and just kinda relaxed and let out a breath of relief. Had a nice day.

    We are going to go shopping tomorrow!! We are gonna get some clothes and shoes for Sunday.

on Friday Alatariel , Tigerlily and I will work for Mr. Schenck. Then I am going to my friend’s.

    I didn’t get to go last weekend, b/c of all the work that needed to be done for the appraisal. Then I can make the presents!!

    On Monday, Ca-bug was fussy and tired, so I stuck in one of my old Psalty tapes and sang and danced him to sleep!! LOL!!         After he went to sleep Isaac wanted to listen too, so we sang and danced the nite away!! Not really!!

    Isaac thought that Psalty was an elephant!! LOL!! I googled Psalty and showed him. It was funny.

    today Mom put in the Wee-Sing tape. I knew every song. It is really weird that I can still remember stuff from my childhood. Although I do have a mind like SUPERMAN’s. I never forget anything.

    AS I was dancing and singing with him, I couldn't help but think about how childish i was being and how other teenagers would never do anything like that.

    I guess those are the times that i feel immature and dumb. LIke I am not at the stage where i need to be. That is an area i need to work on and pray that i don't feel that way. i shouldn't feel that way, i am just playing with my little brother and it is normal. I just can't help but feel that way.

    Ca-bug and Isaac are so-o excited about having the goats back.

    After we let the goats out in the morning,  Ca-bug and Isaac rush to the window with step stools in tow to watch them and call them. To which the goats look at them.

    Last week the day after we got them back, I took Ca-bug and Isaac to see them. They were soo HAPPY to get to go down there to see them!! Now it’s too cold to take them down there.

    Ca-bug has learned what a chicken says. “ba-gock”. So whenever you say chicken, he says “ba-gock”!!

    Mom   is finally starting to show.

    When we first found out that she was pregnant I was in disbelief. So I told her that I would believe that she was pregnant when she started to show. now I finally believe that we will have another baby in april!!

Thank you all for your encouragement on my last post!!

I think that is all for now. I hope your week is going GREat also!!

It will serve as a bookmark. And I will put it in my new Lamb among stars book as soon as I get it!!

I am so excited!!

Thanks for coming by my blog. Believe it or not, I kind of look at you has a role model. Not because I think your perfect, but because you yield when you know your wrong and pursue Godliness with all your being. Anyway, it sounds like you had a really busy week. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Matt 18:2-6 ~ He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

So...don't feel self-conscious about acting like a kid!! LOL You're a great big sister!!

Oh, and I know all of the Wee-kids and Psalty songs by memory too... :)

Congrats to your grandparents! My grandparents just celebrated their 50th a few weeks ago--we were going to do something, but it didn't work out for them. :(
I love the idea of a service scrapbook! My grandfather on my mom's side was in the Air Force, and my other grandfather was in the Army. One was in WWII, he was training to be sent to the war when it ended. My other grandfather was in Japan during Korea. I have a couple cousins who were in the Marines as well. There's a lot of Navy/Marine families in our area, too.
For my grandfather's birthday one year, we all went to James Madison's home for the tour. (we're directly descended from his mother's brother) We took lots of pictures, and made him a scrapbook--we used pictures of my grandfather in the home and wrote a little story about him being James Madison. It was funny, and I know he really liked it.

Don't feel immature or silly about playing with your brother. I play with my sisters and the children at church and love it. I am not much younger than you either. I will be 17 next year. I know what you mean about that feeling though. I have had it before. I have learned to conquer it though. I agree with another girl who replied as well - it can help you prepare to be a mother.

Oh, and I know a ton of Psalty songs and if the "Wee Songs" are the "Wee Sing Bible Songs" I know all of those songs too!

Love in Christ,
Rebekah ~ The Lord's Daughter
