Eek!!

I just realized that I have not posted since Monday. What have I been doing, you may ask, that I haven't noticed? Well, that is a good question! We have had school daily with only minor setbacks. Gracie is learning to add this week. HOW do you explain to a 5 year old that when you add you count up? hehehe She is getting the hang of it. We are also learning about Moses and the Pharaoh and the Israelites. That means we have been singing "Oh baby, let my people go. huh!" complete with motions. Bet you wish you could see and hear that don't ya?!

Faith decided to pick up Ellie and take her outside. Only she dropped/rammed her face into the brick hearth. She has a big ol' scrape on her nose much like the one Faith had on her nose the first time she met Ellie. It looks awful! Makes me wonder if Ellie is going to be as...challenging...as Faith is. We should be pros at warding off the many shenanigans by then. Right? Tell me I'm right and that it will get easier...












Bryan left for Ukraine tonight with my Grandad. They are going to go tell the people about Jesus and how He loves them. How awesome! Bryan will get to tell the little kids in the orphanages Bible stories and hopefully show them the Light and a way to have eternal life. Anyway, on our way back from the airport, Gracie told me that I sure would miss her when she was grown up (I was thinking, gee...what did I do?). She continued by telling me that she was going to live in Paris when she grows up. I asked what in the world she would do there, and she replied, "I am going to be a babysitter!". Hmmmmm... I told her she doesn't know how to speak French, and she said "Bonjour!". How was I supposed to sit there and not die laughing?!!

Oh my gosh, Steph!! Ellie and Faith look identical with their noses. That is too funny and sad at the same time.
Gracie is one smart cookie!! That remark she said is too funny!! I wouldn't put it past her, though. That girl is going to be a handful. I hope Cameron has a gun, because the boys are gonna be all over her!! J/K!! She is very smart, though. I don't want her to go to France......that is TOO far!! :( Tell her I said that.
