A recent picture of me by my favorite photo prop--our family tree. Trees are a big deal here in Cottonwood, and we are blessed to not only have in our front yard six 50 ft. pine trees but also to have three big Mulberry trees in our backyard.
Hardy lately has been working on his handstands--and he's actually kind of getting it. I know his belly is showing, but I couldn't resist posting this!
At bath time Acarith informed me she wanted to do her hair. Twenty minutes later she came out of the bathroom looking like this! Didn't she do a good job? The barrettes didn't stay in for too long in her fine hair, but she was so proud of herself--and I was pretty proud too!
Selah has some new news--she is now potty trained! Last week we spent a few days working on it, and by the end of the third day she completely had it! Yay! Acarith told her, "Selah, now you're a big girl like sissy" (that's Acarith). Acarith was so helpful and encouraging with Selah--honestly, I don't know if I could have done it without her! :)
On May 18th Tirzah finished school and Hardy finished on the 19th. Tirzah now is going into fourth grade and Hardy into second! By Thursday Hardy said he missed his teacher and classmates! To get them busy, I gave them shovels and they had a ball digging a big pit the whole afternoon. We had a wonderful school year; I really am thankful for the Abeka videos and the godly influence the teachers and students have on my kids.
We are all doing very well and really thankful it's summer!
