Kewl pictures!

Check out this site - http://www.matthewfelton.com/
This photographer took pictures of dancers for the Pacific NW Ballet. When I went to his site, I found this picture of a puffin! I love puffins!! They are so cute! The puffins at our zoo are too funny. They puff out their chests and flap their wings and make silly sounds when they come up from a dive.
Anyways, this guy, Matthew Felton, has some really neat pictures. I also liked his desert pictures - they reminded me how cool God is.

Psalm 136

Tonight at Ladies' Bible study we learned about reading the Psalms & finding our own devotions in them. We've been learning about having devotions and have used a couple different types of devotionals, but this week we are just supposed to see what God says as we read the Psalms. Paula (the leader) wanted us to practice, so she gave us each a Psalm to read. Sue & I had Psalm 136. After reading it to each other, and discovering that it was a little history of Israel & God's goodness to her, Sue suggested we write our own "Psalm 136". Here is mine ~

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.
His love endures forever.
Who healed me when I was just born.
His love endures forever.
Who taught me His ways,
His love endures forever.
to Him Who gave me a Godly heritage,
His love endures forever.
and guided me through loves lost & gained.
His love endures forever.
to Him Who is faithful, even when I'm not.
His love endures forever.
Who feeds me, clothes me, and keeps a roof over my head.
His love endures forever.
to Him Who has blessed me
His love endures forever.
with a Godly husband,
His love endures forever.
and Godly children.
His love endures forever.
Who has never left me
His love endures forever.
cold, hungry, naked.
His love endures forever.
Who answers prayer,
His love endures forever.
even little ones like "the Nutcracker".
His love endures forever.
Blessing & glory are His.
His love endures forever.

First day of school

Okay, so we've been doing school for about two weeks now, but today we ventured out into the whole WAVA school day. We did math, language arts, and literature. Tomorrow I hope to include history & art. We need to find a spot to do art, though. :) It was fun, although it took longer than I hoped. So now I am trying to prepare for tomorrow. They don't allow me to do a lot of prep beforehand for Daniel's math, though. And I haven't figured out their schedule yet, either. Think I am going to have to use my homeschool tracker software. :)
The boys did well; it was a good day.
