Happy New Year!
We praise God for the start of a new year and His faithfulness. His mercies are new every morning. There is something fresh about the beginning of a new year. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, yes, but it is nice to reflect on what He as done and look forward to what He will do.
Reading fun
Wow, January has flown by, just like December! January, for us, was focused much on reading. We participated in the Read Aloud Revival challenge. Zeke and Adalynn read aloud for 10 minutes/day for 25 out of the 31 days. They got to choose a reward at the end. They chose to rent Paddington, so we did, and we loved it! Now, we can't wait for Paddington 2 to come out at Redbox.
We started back to our Classical Conversations group and slowly got back into our school routine as well!

SNOW!
It snowed for the first time since we have lived in Americus. The kids were SO excited. They woke me up and wanted to go play outside at 7am! It didn't last long, but it was beautiful and a treat for the kids, for sure!

Happy 8th Birthday, Zeke!
Zeke turned 8 on January 19, 2018. My mom came down to celebrate with us. He asked for a sandwich on Wynna's homemade bread and "ants on a log" (celery with peanut butter and raisins) for dinner the evening of his birthday. Zeke wanted to go bowling instead of having a party. On Saturday, my mom and I took him and his buddy, Zachary, with Zach's mom, Jen, to Leesburg to go bowling. We also had dinner afterward at Chick-fil-a. Daddy stayed home with the girls. It was a weekend full of fun and celebration!
