Learning Scripture

Today I had the joy of watching Preston's class learn to memorize scripture with the best teacher, Mr. Bill.  He taught them motions for each word.  

Philippians 4:19 (New International Version)

¹⁹And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Preston is blessed with the gift of memorizing things easily.  I was so proud that he could remember the verse.  What a great verse to teach 5-year-olds.  

Preston loves being the big brother.  Parker Reese saw me walk by his classroom this morning and wanted me to hold him.   Preston motioned Parker Reese to come over to his side and join him in an activity his class was doing.  It was really sweet watching them together.  

I'm still learning the ropes at my new job in the Children's Ministry.  I'm so thankful that Children's Ministry is never boring!  I'm constantly meeting new families and running into different rooms.  Today I was blessed to hold a sleeping child.  She had red hair and looks just like my little sister did when she was 3-years-old.  

Congratulations to my baby sister for making the High School Cheerleading Team!  Go Musketeers!  She will be busy this summer with lots of practices, but we hope she'll get some time off to come stay with us!  We love you, Jordyn Taylor!

Last Week of School

Jeremiah took the boys to play at Monkey Joe's today so I could finish up report cards. Wow - way too many little boxes to click on, but I completed the task. I'm so thankful this will be my last time to spend my weekends doing report cards. I've accepted the call to be the Director of Children's Ministry at New Community Church. We look forward to this new adventure.
We had an eventful day at the house. While Jeremiah was at youth, I was trying to get some work done in the office, so the boys decided to get out every game board they could find. Whew, thank you Jesus for a patient husband. I cleaned the kitchen while Parker Reese and Jeremiah cleaned up the millions of little game pieces that were all mixed up.
Parker Reese is getting over his pneumonia. He is still on antibiotics which upset his stomach and he had one throwing up incident today, but he gagged himself with a marker - don't think it was related to the medicine. Thanks for all of the prayers for our little guy.
Nothing new with the adoption. We are still hoping to finish the Dossier in June (when school is out). This week will be filled with Awards ceremonies, filling out paperwork, attending meetings, attending meetings, and more meetings. We look forward to going back home (Illinois/Missouri) for the Pig Roast and relaxing with family.
