Annie went outside with her book (Little House on the Prarie, which is way above her level), and she lost it. She asked me to come out and help her look for it, and just like the sweet, compassionate Mom that I am, I said "no", and told her that I just KNEW she could find it by herself. Later, she came and reported that she had found it. Not wanting to miss an opportunity to reinforce that I was RIGHT, I said "I knew you could do it yourself!" She said, "I didn't! I said a prayer and Jesus helped me!"  These are the doughnuts she earned from getting her round-off backhandspring!
Joseph informed me this week that he has decided what he wants to do with his career.  He wants to be a singer kind of like WEIRD AL YANKOVICH, and he wants to be a professional snowboarder!   Pray for us, please :).
