Eli, Thad, Anna, and Eden started at Grace Academy. For 4 hours, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the three older kids have focused learning time with other home-school kiddos. For Anna, that involves lots of crafts, learning letters, shapes and numbers. For the boys, Grace includes learning science and history, doing Art and PE, and some language skills. For Eden, it looks like play, nursery rhymes, song time, play, eat, nap, and more play. For the first time in almost 10 years, Mommy has some time without any kiddos on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
So, what does Mommy do with all her free time? This year she is a group leader for Bible Study Fellowship. This means leader's meetings and training on Monday mornings from 5-7. Then weekly contact and discipleship with her 16 ladies. Tuesday nights is the Bible Study. This year they are studying the book of Romans...such good stuff. She is so excited to be back in leadership!
Jeff also returned to Bible Study Fellowship this year. His group meets on Thursday evenings. He is enjoying his classes at both Southside and Grace Academy. He also had the opportunity to attend some training in Little Rock for a couple days. We sure did miss him!
One of the highlights of the month, was celebrating Marie's 4th birthday. She really like Ariel from the Little Mermaid. Mommy found a dress/costume with Ariel and a mermaid doll.
The temperatures have remained in the 90s. We are so thankful we can cool off in our pool!
In other news, the boys are still swimming on the swim team and participating in a weekly Bible Study at our church. We have taken over our small group from church and host about 20 people each week. We also try and get together with friends on a weekly basis.
We are busy but our hearts are full of joy being involved in ministry and our kids' lives! We hope your fall is off to a great start too! See you next month.
