Kerrof5: UPDATE!

Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

UPDATE!

Holy cow! I can't believe it is almost March. Today was the last day of the 2nd Trimester so officially we are on the last 1/3 of the school year. Update:

Rebecca and Stephanie were both student of the months for the end of January.

Stephanie turned 11 and had 15 girls over for facials/manicures. I was grateful it wasn't a slumber party and was also grateful to my sister in law Amy and Abby for helping.

We got through the science fair both at home and at school.

I made it through varies bouts of trainings.

We had lots of days off of school.

And we had Valentines day!
Darren has accepted a job to work at Camp Mapledale again this summer.

I'm glad because it was an awesome opportunity for him.
Anyway hopefully I'll write more later.

ps Darren had a great time at the dance that night. He danced lots and lots and his date said that he was so fun because he would twirl her and laugh. I'm glad that she had fun. It was her first date so that made it very fun for both of them.
