Reading, Singing, Laughing..Oh my!!!

Lately, Eva turns onto her side (from her back) I think she's trying to roll all the way over onto her belly but she hasn't gotten there yet! She can scoot herself around on the blanket though.

Here's the picture we're adding to one day at a time till Christmas, while telling the Christmas story (Luke 2) everyday...
Madilynn has been doing really well with her reading lately and has progressed to copying words that I write and then writing words that I say. She wrote 'got' and 'she' from me saying them, then she decided she wanted to write 'I got a fish' so she sounded it out and did it!

Another day she wrote this sentence. (She loves cats and loves playing cats- all the time!) (And no, we don't have one and don't plan on getting one!)

Friday night I took the big girls and we went to see a Christmas figure skating show at the local ice arena. The girls had fun and I enjoyed getting to do that with them! We only made it through half the show and left at intermission for bedtime.

Also, Friday night Daddy put the table back up in the dining room...it's all finished and looks great! Now we are on the lookout for 6 new chairs!

So, onto the Singing! Elizabeth has been singing a lot lately and can now sing her ABC's, Jesus Loves Me, and I've even caught her singing along to the radio. The song on the radio I notice her singing is called 'Your Name' and she sings 'Shout your name, shout your name filling up the skies with endless praise, endless praise, Yahweh, Yahweh' it's so sweet!

Singing her ABC's



Jesus Loves Me




Peace like a river

Eva is starting to giggle some lately and I tried to catch it on video, I think I got it a little bit here right at the beginning...
