David

The kids and I started doing morning devotionals together this past summer. Overall, we enjoyed it! David, however, was sometimes a little disinterested in using his journal like Mac and Corrie did.

I would read aloud while the older two would draw/write in their journals, and David would often find his own activity while he listened.

I saw this picture of him making a craft during our devotionals, and I smiled when I remembered what he said before I took it:

"When Jesus comes back, I am going to ask him if he can help me with my perler beads."

Tea and Company

Since school started for Corrie, there has been less time to converse with each other each day. On a whim, we started an evening tradition before bedtime that we call "Tea and Company." 

For a while Corrie could not remember the name, so she called it "This and That," because, "you know, we talk about this and that."

Sometimes we read a book, sometimes we just ask each other questions about our day/lives, and a lot of times we have "tea," (milk in a teacup) and snacks (apple slices pictured below). 

Abigail loves sitting with us and crawling/squaking/trying to eat the apple slices, etc.
