We're Kind Of Book Crazy & Update on #bringbackourgirls


This term Sophia read The Hobbit, Side Kicked, The Big Book of Spy Stuff, Spyology, Otoline and the Yellow Cat, Understood Betsy





Sophia entertains at a church event by doing a reading from Shel Silverstein and an original poem she wrote:

The Book

I saw a book of poetry at the public library,
It had been read many times,
and the author had written many rhymes.

Oh, the places you can see,
and oh, the things that you can be,
and all you really need
is to read a book of poetry.






This term Eleanor has read: Otoline and The Yellow Cat, Junie B. Jones and Her Big Fat Mouth, Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, P.S. So Does May! , Alvin Ho Goes To China, and lots of Garfield!, an LOTS of books to her little brother.

Our read aloud this term has been On The Banks Of Plum Creek  by Laura Ingalls Wilder and our audio books have been Harriet The Spy, How To Train Your Dragon, Judy Moody and Stink and The Bad, Bad, Blackout, Stink and The Freaky Frog Freak-out.



An update: we are still praying for the Nigerian girls to be released. This term Eleanor and I led a session of information and prayer for the leaders of the organization our family is a part of, and we had to do a bunch of research and then present it to them in a meeting. We stood up front of the leaders for Western Canada and talked.

This picture is of me being asked to come up to the front at church on the Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, to pray for the Nigerian girls.

The girls still haven't been released and we are wondering what is going on.
