In the Begining

We started homeschool last week. Our son's Jaydon who is 10 and Nathaniel who is 8 are in the 5th and 3rd grade. Hannah is 3 1/2 but thinks she is as big as they are.  She is doing some Preschool time when we can get her to sit still.

One of our first projects this year was to go and help with "Feed the Children".  I don't know if the kids "got it" but we did have lots of conversation about helping others, giving of your gifts that God gives you.  Jaydon has a very giving spirit, Nathaniel has a very helping spirit, and Hannah, well Hannah just has Spirit.  Both boys helped others from our church, Honie Chambers and William Adkinson loading boxs into people's car's.  Hannah and I loaded tolitery boxs onto the dollies.  Hannah being her cute self got her picture in the paper, or at least on the papers web site, of course, it was the picture of her lying down after the first hour.

I am truely enjoying being with all the kids, plus all my extra "rental" kids during the day.  I feel like they are getting the one on one that they truely need.
