Usually when I pick Rebecca up from kindergarten, she runs across the grass to hug me, hair blowing in the wind. I love it. But one day a couple of weeks ago, she ambled over to me, gazing at her feet, mouth moving animatedly as if she was talking to someone. As she got in the van, I commented on all the little white flowers that were blooming. She said, "I know, I was just saying 'I'm sorry' to all of them when I walked on them." :)
At the last home school play day, one of the moms asked if we knew the things listed in Titus 2 that the older women are supposed to teach the younger. I named a few--love their husbands, love their children, be workers at home--thought I did pretty good. Then she asked if we knew what it said was the reason we're supposed to teach those things...so the word of God would not be blasphemed, or dishonored. Then she said, "How can we teach them if we don't even know them?" Ouch. I think I'm going to start memorizing Titus 2:4-5.
What I don't know is why I memorized "Jabberwocky" in high school. I mean, I did it for extra credit, but I already had an A!? Weirdo.
Our church had a
Life Action Revival Summit this month. It reminded me of a lot of good things, and I loved what they did with the kids. Rebecca can say the 10 commandments, and the 2 older girls learned Psalm 24:3-6. The motions were so cool. They also gave us a great list of family rules that we're all learning.
Rebecca lost her first tooth! It's been loose FOREVER, and was so loose I could turn it completely upside down before she finally pulled it. The first tooth lost always breaks my heart a little. Especially when the tooth fairy forgets to come--oops. Funny thing is, there was a dollar there when
I looked...
I took the girls to Conway over spring break, to visit my Mom, while Mike was in Tennesee on a mission trip. It was so relaxing! We hung out with family,
shopped at the stores we don't have in Magnolia, slept in every day, played wood girls (I watched that one),
made cookies, saw old friends at church--it was a good time.
And now there's nothing left in my head but naptime.

wow. the bit about titus is profound.
and, from the other end, makes me want to try to pursue older women in church.
most times what keeps me from doing it: I often feel like I'm inconveniencing them. Everyone is so busy. Busy busy busy. I hate it.
I love the stuff in your head.
Love Rebecca apologizing to the flowers.
P.S. Coleson's date was with Canan.....she's in the CAM youth group. I had to drop him off and pick them up after because you can't drive until you are 18 here. I still can't believe he is 17!
