It is Sunday and I have a few thoughts I want to jot down.
First of all, we, as I type, are having a terrific hail storm again. I think these hail stones are bigger than the last ones. It is really noisy too.
Anyway, today was the first day of Sunday School for the new year. 1dd8 is starting in Beginner's Bible Bowl. She is very excited about being able to take trips with the group in a bus for the competitions and staying in peoples' homes. They are studying First and Second Samuel. Since we are homeschooling, it will be easy for us to review the work. She will go on 4 trips over the school year, have a barbecue/pot luck to kick things off, and a big bash at the end including swimming at a hotel. I think she will do great learning the stuff, but I'm not so sure if she will be able to get the guts to compete. She isn't a very competitive person.
2dd7 is in a Bible Study class for first and second graders, and she has already made some new friends. I'm pleased about that, since she is also a shy one.
3dd2 is in her toddler class that she has been in since last December. She loves church and can't go wait to go each week. I noticed that this week they had a bunch of little babies and many of them were crying. It doesn't phase our dd, but I could see the teachers were a bit frazzled by the time we picked her up.
Today is the first day of our fall Discipleship Training School. It is a very small class, but we've heard very clearly to go on with the school, and I think the Lord hand-picked the class for His reasons.
Well, I've got some schedule prep to do, and 1dd8 is begging me to make her a daily chore chart , so I had better not disappoint her! (I think she is a lot like her mother, and likes her days to be scheduled and orderly and expected).
Hannah is almost seven; her birthday is in December. Oh, BTW, I thought you should know that my sis, Alatariel, saw the baby counter; and said that you were baking a baby boy!
I didn't know that MountainPrincess and Snowcrystal were your daughters.
your friend,
Rachel
I just found your blog today and really enjoyed perusing it. Where exactly does your family live, the pictures are beautiful!
I am having some trouble with homeschoolblogger, I keep showing up as Anonymous when I leave messages even though I am actually signed in, not sure what the trouble is.

I am glad we were able to speak freely about our points of views... I am so glad God has blessed you with a husband who really cares what you think. I am glad he'd rather make his wife happy then make his friends happy! I hope I can marry about like that! I think I will stop over at your girls and says hello! Garo galu vaer (Have a Blessed day!)
Sincerely,
One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty, the beauty of the Lord. To inquire in His temple, the temple of the Lord.
This is my everyday thoughts about being a mother to three little ladies (12, 10 and 5) and a three year old son. We serve God full-time, and I am a physician assistant. I have the most awesome husband in the world. I am trying to seek and serve God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength.
