Summer Bible Reading

We don't follow the school calendar, so we continue Table Time through the entire year. I like to think of our year as matching the seasons...and summer starts next week!

For the weeks of summer, I plan to read the kids the New Testament. I really like this version because it is written at third grade reading level, even I can understand it! We also have some "Life of Jesus" CDs. Daniel pulled a box out of storage and I found our "Picture Smart Bible"...each book of the Bible has been hand-drawn by a professional Christian artist to summarize the book and help the mind get a "big picture" of each book, making it easier to remember the parts of each book.

John wants to read "The Westing Game" by Ellen Raskin to the family, so we might do that after dinner each night.

Fun times ahead!

Celebrating Gramma's Birthday 2014

What a GORGEOUS day to be out on Lake Union! The forecast predicted a thunderstorm today-not! We did the Duck Tour through Seattle and then Ivar's - a great day!

Dress Up

What a fun day celebrating our friends' movie premiere! They made a "Hunger Games" fan film-fun! We dressed up as citizens from the capital and John is Haymitch (played by Woody Harrelson).

Annual Visit to See Cherry Trees

Every year near Dan's birthday, the cherry trees in the Quad at the UW burst into glorious bloom. Every year, we visit the 3rd week of March. We seem to have always take our potty break in Miller Hall and this year was no different. We did end up in a classroom where Sarah, Dan and Campbell did some teaching! FUN family day!
