Shopping

We are doing a unit in Weaver on money, stewardship, and wars. It's good because it goes right along with math and counting money. Some of the books we read are "One Cent,Two Cent,Old Cent, New Cent." By Bonnie Worth it is like the cat in the hat, which my boys love "Cat in The Hat."
Also "The Go-Around Dollar" by Barbara Johnston Adams, also the "The Boxcar Children" by Gertrude Chandler Warner. As an activity we have been looking at money, and we set up a store for them to go shopping. Some of the bible verses used in this unit are: Gen 14:18-20 Abram pays tithes to Melchizedek, Gen 14- Abram goes to war with Chedorlaomer, Acts 5:1-11 about Ananias and Sapphira.

Another son another trip

On January 26th at around 9:45 pm my water finally broke after being 11 days past my due date. John and I headed to the hospital, my BFF Aura met us there and coached us both. At 4:34 am on January 27th Judah was born. Judah means "praise God" we were truly praising God in the miracle He gave us that day. Judah came in at 21 inches long and 8lbs and was a joy from the beginning. Here is his journey in life so far.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

On Saturday, January 11th 2003 at 2:00 in the morning while watching "Dragonfly" the movie my water broke. John and I being first time parents were terrified, John didn't know what to do so he tried to lift me off the couch. Pretty funny! Well we got our acts together and headed to Burlington Memorial Hospital in Mt. Holly N.J. 22 hours later our first little boy was born at 11:58 p.m. weighing in at 7 lbs 15 oz and 21 1/2 inches long. We were so happy and excited and scared. Here is some pics of John John's journey in life so far.
