Just a note of celebration: we have made it through ALL of these timeline cards this school year and all three of my bigger kids know (most all of) them. I'm pleased that my young ones have a better grasp of the whole of history than I have EVER had and I feel confident that we are building a great frame of facts to expand upon later. As we repeat these cards each year they will solidify the structure of history in their heads. I'm convinced that knowing HIStory is essential in understanding Christ's redemptive plan and the patterns humans have. May my children grow in wisdom as we lay this foundation! I'm so proud of their eager little memories! It is supreme privilege to me to watch them and help them learn.(These are the Veritas press timeline cards.)
One week after the big snow, we had temperatures in the upper 70s! What a great time for Braden and the boys to work on building our raised garden bed. I was so impressed by their hard work and how quickly they accomplished this great little box. We are filled with anticipation and making lots of plans for the 'real' spring weather (the kind that stays warmer for awhile)!
Isn't Livia just TOO precious? She is nearly four and I can only believe it because she looks more and more like a little girl instead of a toddler. She is cherished.
We have been talking about ancient India and China. Here is Owen making rice. He did a great job, but when I turned it into Indian curried rice, the children were not exactly asking for more (which is rare with my children!)
