A Fresh Start to a New Year

How has another month slipped past us?  We fill our days with so many activities that it's no wonder they slip by.  We have made the most of January 2017 and we are here to show you that we have been building our family's kinship and family time together through the colder weather games, puzzles and the kids' favorite game, Hide and Seek.  Don't you love that it is portable and can go with you anywhere, even to CHURCH!!!

We find time to pour into others to build our community and the kids have so many friends that they love to spend time with.  Luckily the kids will play with so many friends of different ages that it doesn't seem to prohibit them like it did us as we were growing up.  

 

And then there is school time which is VERY different from what I grew up with.  We watched the inauguration and Siena has nearly memorized all 45 presidents.  The kids have enjoyed reading quite a bit more since it's part of our daily routine, they are involved in science experiments in the co-op community and they also are studying different art forms.  They have really done well with their weekly oral reports and share the funniest stories.  

With the strange climate change, our kids have been in short and climbing trees, snowmobiling in their PowerWheels and jumping in rain puddles!  Seriously. is there anything better than having the free spirit of a child, the love of Jesus in your heart and family to share it with?
