My 1000 Post

My 1,000th posting has arrived!!

I am shocked that it’s here.

When we began this blog 6 years ago, I had no idea what to talk/blog about, let alone who’s going to read what I write!?! What do I have to say that is meaningful to those who read this blog?

Someone has been reading my words, most of those people have been family and a few friends. No one else has ever told me they read what I write, besides my own parents and they enjoy it. My father skims through the postings, mainly looking at the pictures and my Mother reads each one through. So someone does read it!

In those 6 years, I have really begun to enjoy blogging. I feel terrible if, I miss a day. This is my journal, about our lives and what we do. Some day, Isabel will be able to look back and read what she did on this and this day. She may even get a few laughs out of it and say, “Hey, I remember doing that!”

What I hope she gets most out of my words/blog, is that I love her very much. I want her to look back and remember those times that she has forgotten when she’s older. So she can sit at her dining room table (eating dinner) and tell her kids about the time she did this and the time she did that. Just like she enjoys doing with Daddy and I now and hearing about when we were her age.

So what I write is for her… remember to have faith, put your hope in Jesus. He loves you more. Laugh and enjoy this website.

It’s for you, Squirt! I love you.

First Grade: Day 150

Today is Terrific Tuesday and it’s Chapel and library.

Today’s Chapel was giving by Pastor Comstock who spoke from 1 Samuel 2 and 3. God spoke to Samuel while he was sleeping. God had a message and a plan for Samuel’s life. Samuel choose to obey God because he trusted him. God calls all of us to humbly commit to his purpose. We can then choose to honor God in our lives, as Samuel demonstrated to us.

Today she got another Berenstain Bears book but she hasn’t brought it home yet. She left it in her tub at school.

Today’s Teacher/Staff appreciation: popcorn bar and fruit smoothies in the afternoon.

Classwork…
