Hiding God's Word In Our Heart

I hope that Aiden treasures his memory verses and doesn't rebel against the system, but memory verses are part of our preschool curriculum and so far Aiden has embraced "school." I keep it pretty laid back, we mostly play and insert concepts and subjects here and there. My child is a sponge! He drinks up anything I tell him and wants a new letter everyday instead of a new letter every week. We review his verses every Monday and he usually negotiates a Hershey's Kiss out of the deal. I rarely reward him for anything because I want him to be intrinsically motivated and understand expectations, but in this case I think he earned it. :)

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away. 

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month.

Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
