Here are a few pictures of the cherubs playing with some surprise gifts that arrived yesterday! Thank you, Aunt Joyce and Uncle Randy! We spent the evening putting together Lego sets and taking the elephant out of the truck and putting the elephant into the truck. And taking the elephant out of the truck...you get the idea :-) One nice thing about being far away from family is that at the holidays we seem to celebrate over and over again.
We are now back at work and school full tilt since today is the first day of class for the college students. Dan is beginning auditions/planning for the spring musical that he will be directing this year, Guys & Dolls. And I am looking forward to meeting our new dept. boss who is likely start in February. The kids are both doing well, although Micah has a chest cold right now that he is fighting. It doesn't seem to be keeping him down, though. He is looking forward to a "community helpers" dress-up day on Friday where the kids can pretend to be working at variety of different occupations. Yesterday, Micah brought home a picture he had drawn of me holding something and standing in front of a large green rectangle. I asked him to tell me about what he had drawn and he said it was me, mowing the lawn. That cracked me up since I have yet to mow the lawn. What an imagination!
In AWANA, the kindergarteners are completing that religious rite of passage, memorizing the books of the Bible. They sent the kids home with a CD that plays a song to help them remember all of the titles. We've been playing the catchy song while the boys play in Micah's room so he can sing along to it when he wants to. What I didn't realize was that Jacob was also picking up on the words. At dinner, I heard him humming the song and then singing the last word at each phrase, which sounds kinda like this...hmmm...John. hmmm hmmmm. "(Ro) 'Mans" hmmm. hmmm. " (Ephe)'S(i)ans". Well, I guess it's never too early to familiarize yourself with the Good Book :-)
