New Resolution, S.S. Curriculum and fun at church

A few pictures my parents took this week...not the most flattering picture, but I am loving reading "Farmer Boy" from the Little House series with the kids. My one new year's "resolution" was to read chapter books every weekday to the kids this year. We just hit 100 pages so we are making better progress than I thought (and enjoying it too!).

We started a new Sunday School curriculum this year too...called "Jesus, What a Savior" from Desiring God's kids' department. It's been a significant amount of work compared to our previous curriculum, but so worth it. I love how packed it is with activities and lesson with truth and the kids are responding really well to the extra structure and material/expectations.

One of the fun activities we did here in this picture was filling a bowl to overflowing with balloons with the attributes of God written on them.

Louis is having no trouble making friends at the church...here he is with Mr. John at the mens' breakfast this past week, getting a lift:).

That, plus once a week swim lessons, Liv's OT appointments, work (this month and next are busy for me (Rachael) at work so I'll be going at least every other week if not each week) are keeping us busy:).
