*reading Joyce's update on Tomas to the girls and getting teary as I thanked God for his recovery
*taking Gracie and Madelyn to drawing class
*looking at their drawings
*watching them play on the playground and make friends
*the way Gracie wrote a note and added a pink jewel and made an envelope to give to a friend she made in art class who actually lives in Minnesota
*being there to help Aubrey after she got her first skinned-knee
*reading the Bible at supper
*reading The Saturdays at bedtime
*listening to M's prayer and A's prayer
*hearing my kids' excitement that Grandpop got to visit
*watching G and M draw on the sidewalk with Grammy
*spending time with Jim
Thoughts, quotes, and poems on raising and homeschooling 3 little women. Ephesians 2: 8-10--For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." ~William Butler Yeats
