On Saturday, my friend Chris and I hiked Horn Peak.  We are both still recovering. . . Here are some pictures from the top.

Wow, it’s been a long time since I have written.   Life has been very crazy.   Since the last time I wrote…(April 17), we found out we were pregnant again…wahoo!!!!    We are due December 25th and we also just found out that we are going to have a boy.   I’ve always wanted a boy so I’m thrilled.  I’m also excited that Abby will have a brother.  She’s kind of tomboyish even right now so it’ll be good for her to have a boy around.

My sister, Debbie got married in July.   We had 2 1/2 weeks to plan the wedding but it was a success!   Everyone looked so beautiful!

I enjoyed reading the Toddler Bible with stories retold by Gwen Ellis.  The pictures are vivid as well.  One thing that I appreciate about the way Ms. Ellis retells the stories is that she simplifies them without losing the important components.  She is not afraid of the “bad” parts of the bible.  At the end of each chapter or section, there is a small box for the parents giving ideas for a craft that will help the child remember each lesson.   There are also ideas for discussion questions for taking each story a bit further.    For those with older kids as well, at the top of each page is the reference in the Bible from where these stories come from.   I look forward to using this book with my little ones.
