My oldest daughter, Sarah is 5 today. It is hard to believe it has gone that quick! I have watched Sarah become such a caring little girl. Last night we were having a cookie for a treat, and there was 1 1/2 left. She took the half (without prompting) so her younger sister could have the whole one. She is the one who always wants everyone to get along. She is also so fun to be around. She is always making up songs and stories with her silly sense of humor. The house almost doesn't run when she is gone, because she does so much to help. I can't remember what I did when she couldn't unload the dishwasher, pick up her toys, set and clean up the table, get dressed and fix her hair by herself, fold and put away clothes, and I am sure more that I am not giving her credit for. We are so blessed by Sarah and so glad to get to know her more and more each day!
I am mom to 4 little girls: Sarah 5, Hannah 3, Stephanie 2, and Annie born July 2006. We love learning and are learning to love. We are using Sonlight Kindergarten and a Pre-K schedule I put together.
Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed. We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. II Corinthians 4:7-10
