"Thereford, behold, I will allure her, bring her into the wilderness, and speak kindly to her."

Hosea 2:14

A school day around the Morris House

Lately it has been just amazing to me how Hannah has been learning by leaps and bounds, especially how to read! It's like I teach her the basics, but then she's off and running teaching herself more and more of the concepts that we haven't even gotten to yet!! The way God created us to learn is truly miraculous!


I thought I'd take a break from the ever-frustrating task of designing my blog to share some pics of things we're doing around here for school right now! And what's great is while we're learning the ABC's and 123's, we're also learning about God's heart for us!

On the nice early days of school, we enjoyed school outside!!!

A still-life portrait of pumpkins~Hannah's favorite subject is art!


Dry-erase markers + glass-covered table=perfect "chalkboard"!!

Little 'sis gets to sit in on the school fun as well, (provided she doesn't eat the crayons!)

We learned place values a few weeks ago.

Copywork consists of verses from the book of Proverbs! Mom's been learning from these too!

Our Bible history timeline, taped right to our wall. So far we're up to the story of Jacob & Esau.

My attempt at making homemade playdough for making water jugs like the one Rebekah carried in the Bible story where Isaac's servant went to find Isaac a wife. Our jugs were a little on the short, stubby side since the dough was so soft!! :-)

Hannah's Bible story reader. This kid just picks this thing up and reads to me like a pro!!

Yes, that there be a snake in MY house!! Not one, but TWO! Dad found these while digging in the ground one day at work and decided to bring them HOME! They were only temporary roommates thank goodness. How's that for science?!?



Mikayla's art 'lesson'! Love these paint with water books for her!


Her future's so bright she's just gotta wear shades!!


Actually, it looks like they both need them!! :-) Ah, thank you Father for blessing me with these two beautiful daughters!! Grant me the wisdom each day to walk out the calling you have given me as their mama! More than anything else, help me point them toward you, and to make them realize that their heavenly Daddy loves them more than they could possibly imagine! Bless their future, lead them and shape them into women someday who will serve and love you with their whole hearts!
