Another Monumental Day in the Life of a Learner

This morning, before church, Kitty read the entire book, "Ten Apples up on Top", by herself. It is part of the Dr. Seuss series of young reader books.

Hurray, Kitty!!!!

A backpack bigger than Kitty

Today, we went to a school supply give-away. Both Kitty and Jewel received new backpacks with some great school supplies in them. The funny this is, Kitty's backpack is almost bigger than she is!

Each girl got three wide-rule spiral notebooks, a pair of scissors, a calculator, a 12-pack of colored Crayola pencils, 24 Crayola crayons, 8 Crayola markers, and three folders.

God is Great!

An Unlikely Way to be Heroic

A Chinese policewoman is being praised for her aid after the massive earthquake in China. Not only has she done her duty as a police officer, but she has also been breastfeeding infants in the disaster area as well. Five of the children she has fed were orphans. She also helped moms whose milk dried up or wasn't sufficient to feed their own kids.

This amazing lady is truly doing God's work!

You can see a video of this story from CNN.

16 Words!

We discovered today that Kitty can read 16 words! She didn't think she knew so many.

While that may not seem like a lot, it is a great accomplishment for someone who is learning to read.

Go Kitty!

April Fool!

April Fool's Day sure played a nasty trick on us. We all, except Daddy, came down with the yucky stomach flu. First Jewel, then Mommy, then Kitty. What a pathetic bunch of sickies we made. Mommy has taken the longest to recover.

Today was our first foray into the outside world. Jewel began singing lessons this evening. Mr. Steve, her instructor, is a really nice man. We were there for almost 3 hours. But it was all fun. Mr. Steve gave Jewel 6 songs to begin practicing. He also gave Kitty some songs as well. So, it seems that both girls will be taking singing lessons. Mr. Steve didn't mention that he would charge us any extra. He is a very generous man who enjoys teaching more than making money. The girls are very excited about next week's lesson.
