A Wonderful First Day:)

Post by GracieandTwinBoysMom » Tue Sep 08, 2009 10:24 am

Well we just started LHFHG and WE LOVE IT!!! I was able to work it all out with my twin two year olds. I took everyones advice and read History For Little Pilgrims at breakfast. Then I did the Rhymes in Motion and singing and kept the twins with us. Gracie seemed to really enjoy her brothers being included. The sweetest part of the whole thing was seeing my ds and dd raising the hands and praising God. What a blessing to watch!!!!! By that time the boys were ready to go play in the living room while Gracie and I got to work. She did beautifully...everything was a comfortable challenge and she said she "REALLY LOVED IT!"
Thank you everyone for you prayers and advice...this morning went so much better then I thought it would. Oh one last thing.. my husband wants to take over the Bible section himself. He said it will help him become a stronger spiritual leader in the family and give him some ideas...I love it!!!!! Not only is God using Carrie to equip our kids and us but also our husbands into strong spiritual leaders:):) To God be the Glory Great Things He Hath Done!!!! Sorry for all the rambling...I am just very excited:) Love to all

Carla - I'm rejoicing with you this morning! :D That is a such a blessing to see your dc raising their hands to the Lord - and it must have brought glory and joy to the Lord as well. :D It really paid off to put time into making your schedule and considering how you wanted your day to go before you started. Your can do it attitude really contributed to your happy start to the year as well. Thanks for sharing here - it is an encouragement to those of us who will be starting soon. :D

Yay Carla, Gracie and boys!!! :D

So glad you had a great first day. I'm sure that tomorrow will be just as wonderful! :D


P.S. Evelyn was really upset after soccer, she had made Gracie a "happy first day of kindergarten" card and forgot to bring it tonight!

Carla,

I'm rejoicing with you and thanking the Lord for your great day! I loved the image of your kiddos raising their hands to the Lord! :D Thank you for sharing your heart-touching words from your hubby too. It blessed me tonight to know your family was steeped in God's love today. :D We pray that you will have a wonderful year with LHFHG!

Blessings,
Carrie

That is wonderful!! We are so enjoying Little Hearts ourselves. :) When I first read that you had "worked it out with your twin two year olds," I thought you meant you were doing Little Hearts with your two year olds! LOL I was thinking, "oh my...I sure am behind doing it with a 5 year old then!" Haha!
