The boys started another semester of After School Kids Bible Study. They are studying the life of David. They meet on Mondays at our church with a bunch of other kids from the community.
We all started back to Bible Study Fellowship. Mom has a group of 15 ladies she leads each week as they study People of the Promised Land. Dad joined an online group. It has been so neat to meet with men from several different states and countries.
The kids are all enjoying Grace Academy two days a week. Marie and Anna are working on learning their letters and numbers. Eli and Thad are taking science, history, and art classes. This year is more challenging for Eli because he has homework!
We enjoyed helping out another foster family from our church one weekend this month. We took care of their 4 year old foster son. I will say that having three, 4 year-olds is quite a challenge! There was lots of silliness and tattling! It definitely settled the thought in our minds that we are not going to permanently take another 4 year old right now.
It is hard to believe, but Marie is now 5. We celebrated her birthday twice at the end of the month. Once with our small group and then again as a family. She has changed so much in the last year. She likes to help, loves to play games, and loves to sing and dance. She also enjoys drawing and coloring.
We ended the month going to an Old Fashioned Family Fun Fest. One of the local churches teamed up with the local college's music program to host a free community event. There were many things to do but by far the coolest was the musical petting zoo. There were all kinds of instruments that the kids could try. It was such a neat experience. I think the drums may be a part of Marie's future and maybe the saxophone for Eli.
We are looking forward to October in anticipation of cooler temperatures. We hope that you enjoy the slideshow.
