Sister girls. Princess buddies. Special blessings.

Sometime I look at these two with wonder.  W.O.N.D.E.R.
For a very real season of my life I had zero expectations that I would ever have more than my oldest four children.
God is so good.  So, so good. 
Now I enjoy these jewels. 
They enjoy lunch at the pool.

Oh – and this is so tragic….
Katriel told me that a bomb got Johanna.
(See – they, in fact, have older siblings!)  LOL

Katriel’s art…

It was quiet. 
As in quiet enough for us to whip through devotion….
Where could she be?
She was colorin’. 
“What are you doing, Katriel?”
”I drew a bunny!!!!”

It was too quiet the other morning. I grabbed the iPad from the boys and tiptoed in on Katriel who had found my iPhone and activated AmazonVideo…

(I love the way she reacts when she realizes she’s been caught.)

Sipping science

We’ve been reading about Thomas Edison.  The story goes that he once mixed chemicals together and saw a tremendous number of bubbles form.  This led him to believe this creation of bubbles could elevate a person off the ground.  So he had his friend drink it.  (He was about 8 at the time.)
Our science guide had us create our own bubbly chemical reaction… homemade pop!
