You thought it was a picture of Dacia Grace didn’t you? LOL! Sorry no pictures of her in a bathing suit will be posted on our blog. :)
For her birthday she received Bolt as a gift from a dear friend. Bolt accompanies her everywhere! (Think Baba and then you see the picture.)
Anyway, the other day Dacia Grace was told to get ready for swim class. When she came down ready to go, she had Bolt ready as well. What do you think? Pretty classy, wouldn’t you say?
I-Goo was kind enough to send Dacia Grace a Crayola Crayon Maker for Christmas/birthday. Today we decided to use it for an all in one class of science and art. Here are some of the fun times.
Most Sunday afternoons Arthur will take a nap in a recliner that we affectionately refer to as “The Grandpa Chair.” Tia usually always joins him. The other Sunday I was able to take this series of photos. It clearly shows the progression that occurs and the “conversation” that ensues!
With very little encouragement from Arthur, Tia joins him.
Ahhhhhh! Sunday afternoon nap time!
Heard at dinner tonight......
Dacia Grace: "There are only three things that I want to be when I grow up."
Mom and Dad: "What."
Dacia Grace: "A swim teacher. A barista. A doctor."
Dad to Dacia Grace: "What kind of doctor?"
Dacia Grace: "A kid's doctor!"
Mom: "A pediatrician."
Dad: "Like Dr. Ruby or Dr. Drake?"
Dacia Grace: "Dr. Ruby."
Mom to Dad: "Guess we better start saving our money."
Dacia Grace: "I'll get in for free because I'm cute!"
Smirk. Smirk. Smirk!
It is hard to believe that seven years have passed since Arthur and I welcomed Dacia Grace into our lives. I am currently listening to Arthur recount her birth story. It never ceases to amaze me and humble me. God performed so many miracles that day.
Happy birthday to Arthur and to Dacia Grace! I love being your wife and your mommy! I am so blessed each and every day by each of you!
We utilize our local library a ton. It is a regular thing to find what seems to be 100’s of library items on our library shelves. We are so thankful for our local library and the children’s librarians who help us find just about anything!
One of our favorite science series is the Let’s-Read-And-Find-Out About science series. There are two levels that we have used: one for Kindergarten and one for first and second grade. While they are secular, I have found that they don’t deal a ton with evolution. The ones that do have become a talking point for us about God and His design for the universe in contrast to man’s design for the universe.
Here are some of our favorites:
All pictures are from Amazon.
So for Week 1 we were supposed to make a clay pot. We just now got around to doing it. So here are some video clips for your viewing entertainment.
The first week of school we studied how the Bible was written by the original authors and how scrolls were made by papyrus and such. They were stored in jars so here we are trying to make a jar.
