I'm sorry not to update in over a week...I give other people a hard time about not posting anything new and then am behind myself on writing updates. So here again is a large review of our past week!
Ella is 8 months old today! She is scooting around a bit, just cut her third tooth and can sign bye-bye and all done (I know, I know, those two are identical signs but they are two seperate words!...).
Maddie is getting over losing Barnabas by making friends with her dolphin and her "pretend Baranabas" aka Silas - a monkey that she had previously that she carries around with her sometimes. She knows her abc's, several Bible verses and catechism questions, and is learning manners and yes ma'ams and sirs. I think we're finally getting over some terrible two's behaviors and attitudes. She seems to be sincerely learning about authority and obedience.
I've been trying to stick to my routine and while a challenge has freed up some extra minutes for an second snuggle or more concentrated work time. I do see the benefits of planning and list-making but I'm not the best at sticking to either of these inventions. :) With the grace of God and the help of my dear husband, I've been able to tackle some big projects that I've been dreading...mostly just organizing and downsizing some of the girls clothing and things. But it's all finished now and we have several large bags ready for donation and several families at Bible study!
It's late, I'm very tired and my brain is not making sense anymore so I will post some new pictures and more stories later.
