Meet Sammy...
A MEALWORM that has recently turned into a beatle.
Jacob's kindergarten class pet!
I've heard of having a rabbit or a fish for a class pet but never an earthworm! Each of the kids in his class have a mealworm that they have learned all about, named, and take care of.
Jacob LOVES Sammy!!

Abigail

Our little "goose" is 18 months!
She continues to climb on everything! Counters, tables, bunk-beds, couches...


She has to do whatever Jake and Tess are doing, including sitting on the potty!

She is a daddy's girl! Here are two pictures from a valentines project we did for Daddy...

Abby wants to "go" all day long! She will bring me her socks, shoes, coat and be ready and waiting 30 minutes before we actually go anywhere.
Picking up Jake from school
She is a big mess maker but at least she wants to help clean up...

Abby is not shy and enjoys meeting new people (this has helped to make her transition to nursery easy so far). Her vocabulary continues to grow but I absolutely love hearing her babble on and on. She has so much to say ALL THE TIME! She loves being outside, playing with Tess, singing the "hello" song each night before bed, and playing "duck, duck, goose". She adores her daddy and "whans da-da" on the phone if she can't have him in person. She is at such a fun stage right now. We love you Abbi-goose!

FAITH

I wanted to share a funny experience from my calling at church. I get to teach Jacob and 8 other kids each week. Yesterday our lesson was on faith in Jesus Christ. We discussed how faith is like the wind...we aren't able to see it yet we know it is there. There are a couple of girls in the class who can completely wear me out! One of which announced to the class very matter of factly that "Jesus AIN'T real!!..." To which one of the boys responded, just as loudly, " ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Jesus is the most famous person in the whole world, EVEN MORE FAMOUS THAN BARACK OBAMA!"

From the mouths of babes...
