Hot days of Summer...
Walking in the Zoo
It has been a very nice summer here in Hecknville. We've been busy and lazy all month. Some weeks we are non stop heading to the Zoo & parks and having so much fun. On other days we are just staying cool in our family room and watching "Finding Nemo" for the 10th time (or more, we've lost count) this year. We are working hard on getting our learning room (play room/school room) together. It is painted! Yea! Now, we are just "setting" it up. We will post pictures of the room next month, when we hope to have it all finished. We did set a goal to have the room ready to start school on July 1st, well it is Aug. 4th and we still have not celebrated our 1st day of school. Can anyone say " a little behind". Oh well... Our homeschool Co-op starts in Sept, and that is when we will start our school, no matter what! Even if our learning room is not finished! Our schedule will be very easy this year. It will look like this for the week:

It will look like this for the week:
Sunday: Church/rest day
Monday: Monday fun (Co-Op)
Tuesday: School
Wednesday: School
Thursday: Field trip day or MOPS day
Friday: Library day or Catch up day.
Saturday: Family day
Very easy! I like it that way. The First Daughter will start dance lessons this fall, but not until November. In about 2 years she will start music lessons. By then the First Son will be doing something also. Plus we will have a"full" day of school, so our lives will be very busy then. Right now we are LOVING our small children.
We had a break through with our Daughter today. She has been struggling with a lying tongue, and telling stories. Today she tried to deceive us, but she was convicted!! And told us the truth, right from the beginning! She even told me, "Mommy I was going to tell you a lie, but I didn't, I told you the truth and it feels good"! Out of the mouth of babes! We've been praying & reading verses out of the bible to her about lying. Our biggest prayer is that she and the First Son, know Jesus, and want to serve Him with all their hearts, and that they know His voice and listen to Him. A little time after this happened we read a very good blog (who happens to be our very good friend), and this is what he had to say:
Great words! We love it! God is so good, we really needed to read the words he wrote, so from this day on we can help the First Daughter with over coming this struggle (even the "small" lies) she will always have in her life, but if she listens to God now, then His voice will be louder than her struggle. Break through, we think so! God is smelling a VICTORY!!!! Thank you Post Modern Pilgrims for the wise words! We bet you didn't know, God had you write that blog for us!
