The day before Caroline's birthday in October, we left Camden around 7pm (after Caroline's last soccer game) and started driving west. We made it to Birmingham around midnight and stopped for the night. The next day (Caroline's birthday) we drove ALL day and finally made it to Fayetteville, Arkansas! We were greeted by Grandma, Grandpa, Stephen, Rachael, and the kids for a big princess birthday celebration (which I already posted about!). We were so excited to be able to spend an extended nine-day trip with my family in their new hometown.</div>

Dear Anna Kate,<br />
<br />
Seven years old feels so grown up. We've been teasing you for a few weeks that we were going to let you have a birthday - eat the cake, open the presents, etc. - but that it was just going to have to be another sixth birthday! But here it is and you are officially seven. Well, at 5:08 this afternoon you will be, anyway. And while it's true that I would love to keep you little forever, we also have so much fun with every new stage of life that you enter. You are growing up into such a lovely young lady and we are so thankful for you.<br />
<br />

~ The very first thing that comes to mind when we think about you is your love of reading. You have always loved reading from the time we read board books, to picture books, to beginning reading on your own, to full-fledged novels now. You read dozens of books each month and check out your limit of 15 at the library each week. And you often have to have me check some out on my card because that's simply not enough. You have enjoyed several really great books lately like <i>The BFG, Swiss Family Robinson, The Lion in the Box, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, </i>and the later books in the <i>Little House</i> series. You just enter into your own little world when you are reading a good book and you will tune out everything around you.<br />
~ You also love to watch the movies of the books that you read - but only AFTER you read the book! Some favorites this year have been <i>Swiss Family Robinson, Mary Poppins, </i>and <i>Heidi.</i><br />
~ You also are becoming quite a little writer. You would much rather come up with your own fanciful stories than journal about real life. You also had the idea this year to start writing your own monthly newspaper and sending it out to subscribers - like far-away family!<br />
~ You love jokes and riddles and puns. You have a joke section in your newspaper and love finding and choosing the best ones. You have even come up with a few of your own!<br />
<br />

~ You also love to read poetry. Your favorite poets are Longfellow, Emily Dickinson, and A.A. Milne (especially his collection <i>Now We are Six). </i>You love serious and beautiful poetry, but your favorite poem lately is "Sneezles" by A.A. Milne. It absolutely cracks you up! You've also started writing some pretty neat poetry lately. Like this one:<br />

~ You love to ride your bike. You and your sisters will ride around the backyard and the driveway for a little while almost every afternoon, but you have also started doing some long rides. The past few weeks, we've been doing a 5K route with you bicycling, Mommy running, and Daddy running while pushing the double jogging stroller with Caroline and Eleanor. And this 5K route is not easy...it has several BIG hills and you are doing so well!<br />
~ You love to play outside with your sisters. You make stations around the backyard for various activities and then usually want to put on shows for Mommy and Daddy.<br />
~ If you are not reading or playing outside, you can usually be found crafting. You absolutely love sewing, painting, sketching, dress designing, and doing duct tape crafts. You have made some pretty impressive wallets, purses, hair bows, and pencil pouches!<br />
~ You are a wonderful help to Mommy around the house. Sometimes I probably place a lot on you as the oldest, but you really do help so well. You can now unload the dishwasher, sort/fold/put away laundry, tidy up the school table, pick up toys, and the list goes on. You really are a blessing to me.<br />
<br />

~ You love to bake. You made brownies for my Grace Group ladies a couple weeks ago almost all by yourself. And they were wonderful! In fact, when I asked you what special dessert you wanted tonight for your birthday, you said you wanted brownies and you wanted to make them yourself. So that is what we're doing!<br />
~ You love all things American Girl. You and your sister have two dolls that you share - Kirsten and Samantha - and you love dressing them in their historical outfits, or dressing in your matching outfits. You also love ALL of the books and have watched several of the movies. I love the history that you learn by reading each one.<br />
~ Speaking of dolls, you love Kirsten and Samantha, but you still have a special place in your heart for your baby doll Heidi which you still sleep with every night. And it's precious.<br />
~ I just keep thinking of things to say about you! Playing board games is also one of your favorite things in the world! Your favorites lately are Yahtzee, Take Off, and Checkers. You would gladly drop anything you're doing to play a board game if anyone offers!<br />
~ You have lost teeth left and right this year. Your smile is absolutely precious and missing several teeth. You actually had to get a couple pulled right before Christmas because the permanent ones were already coming in. I am so glad we have so many good pictures of your seven-year-old smile because I have a feeling I am going to miss it one day!<br />

~ You have developed some wonderful friendships this year. You are closest with Paisley, Aubrey, Livia, Peyton, Landon and AC, and Ava. At church, your favorite thing to do together is play Spy Club where you leave silly notes on peoples' desks or white boards and hope they don't figure out who did it! In fact, you love spy club so much that you chose to have a Nancy Drew mystery party this year for your birthday with all your spy club friends (blogpost to come soon!).<br />
~ You are really improving with your violin playing this year! You are now working on Allegretto in Suzuki Book 1 and are playing with very clear tone quality and nice intonation. It's so fun to see you play the same songs I used to play!<br />
~ You are definitely growing up, but you are definitely not outgrowing your love of snuggling with Mommy and Daddy. You are the first one out of your sisters to get up every morning and you always come straight to Mommy and Daddy's bed (on the weekends) or the couch (since we're up before you on the weekdays) and ask for snuggles. And we will never get tired of it!<br />
~ The most significant way that you have grown and changed this year is that you have begun to really understand your need for a savior. You have asked Jesus to forgive your sins and save you and you are starting to ask more questions about following him. It is so special for us to be able to watch you learn and be able to lead you to the Lord.<br />

Anna Kate, our prayer for you is that your tender heart is always inclined to Christ and that you seek Him all the days of your life. You are an absolute blessing to our family.<br />
<br />
Love always,<br />
Mommy, Daddy, Caroline and Eleanor<br />
<br />

Our sweet Caroline turned 5 back in October, and while I did her traditional birthday post, I never posted about all of the celebrating that we did! First, Mimi came down the week before her birthday to see a soccer game and celebrate a little early. She brought her a chocolate pumpkin cake!</div>

We were planning to be on our big road trip to Arkansas the day of Caroline's actual birthday, so we planned a low-key celebration the weekend before.

It teaches the kids all about democracy and elections without them even realizing they're learning anything. </div>

~ You are quite the fashionista. Your favorite items these days are tutus and headbands. They don't always match your outfits, but I'm trying to lighten up a little bit and let you express yourself! You are pretty cute even if you don't match!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ You always have something to say. You talk ALL the time. Whether it's about things you like, things you don't like, or just whatever is on your mind, you are sure to let everyone know all about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ You have the most precious way of saying your name. You can't quite say your "r's" yet, so your name comes out, "Elea-Noah" and I love it. Sounds quite British.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ Sometimes when you are asked your name, however, you come up with something new that you think is just hilarious. Lately it's been "Elsa Anna Big Girl Princess."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ Speaking of names, your names around here are Eleanor, Ellie Grace, Elle-pie, Piece of Pie, Nor-Nor, and the Nor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ You are a child with firm convictions. Some might call this stubborn or strong-willed, but either way, they all describe you to a T. We don't always have any idea what will set you off, but if you don't want to do something, you will let us know in no uncertain terms. But we're working on it, and Mommy and Daddy always win :) That being said, I always get excellent reports about your behavior from everyone else!</div>

~ You are a great sleeper. Once we get you to sleep, that is. You've started to become quite the negotiator when it comes to how many songs Mommy has to sing as I rock you, or how many minutes Daddy has to snuggle you before he can put you in the crib. It's hard to say no though, because we know these days won't last forever!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ Once we do get you in your crib around 8pm, you sleep all the way until 8 or 9 in the morning. Sometimes even later if we have nowhere to be. You do have to have your bink (blankie), lamby, unicorn, three tiggies (kitties), two bears, second bink (blankie), taggie, and pillow. It's quite the menagerie in there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ You always want to be the one to pray at the table. You normally pray, "Fah God, thank you for this food and for this family, Aaaaamen." And then you always want to know whether or not your sisters closed their eyes.</div>

~ You do love your sisters - Bears and Kate. I'm pretty sure you know that their real names are Anna Kate and Caroline, but you rarely use them. Actually, now that I think about it, you do sometimes say, "ANN-NAH-KATE" when you're upset with her for something! But Bears is always Bears. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ You are a great singer. In fact, I think you might be my earliest pitch-matcher out of all our girls. When we sing songs at nighttime, you always match pitch exactly, even when it's a hymn with a wide range. Your favorite songs these days include Be Still My Soul, Holy Holy, Angels We have Heard on High, Jesus Loves Me, Twinkle, Happy Birthday to Jesus, and Oh What a Special Night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ You are very smart - at least we think so! You can count almost to twenty without missing any numbers, you are working on your letters and know a good number of them, and you can sing all your states and capitals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ Speaking of states and capitals, you have a really funny sense of humor. Whenever you talk about your friend Jackson at Bethesda, you say his name is "Jackson, Mississippi!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ You have started to get really good at riding your balance bike! In fact, you wanted to have a bicycle parade birthday party so that you could ride with all your friends. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ You are very good at playing independently while mommy does housework or schoolwork with the big girls. Most of the time you play baby dolls, but you also love puzzles and are very good at them! You can also sit and work on busy bag activities for quite a while on your own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
~ You are starting to play really well with your sisters as well. They think it's really fun for you to join them in their pretend play or when they put on shows. You really like to play "GBS" with them - which is actually VBS!</div>

Caroline learned to write and spell phonetically on her own. So we started finding messages like this all over the place. It reads, "i love you dad four 100 day." 100 days is apparently the longest amount of time she could think of. Basically, she's going to love him forever!</div>

Our homeschool curriculum looks pretty similar to last year - Math-U-See for math, Charlotte Mason methods for literature/handwriting/poetry/art, Apologia science (Flying Creatures, this year), violin, but we are also adding Story of the World for a more formal history curriculum. So far, we've had a wonderful year!<span id="goog_2055210502"></span><span id="goog_2055210503"></span>Luke and Pattyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12303458751842972137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007155987872536473.post-32475211423196603302017-01-29T15:37:00.003-05:002017-01-29T15:37:55.418-05:004th of July in the Mountains<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Every summer our church takes a family mission trip to serve a church in another part of our country. This year we had the wonderful opportunity to partner with Clarkston International Bible Church in Clarkston, GA (outside Atlanta). Clarkston is a town that I had no idea existed until just recently. It is a refugee relocation site and they have literally thousands and thousands of people who come to live there from all over the world. CIBC is an English speaking church, but they share their facility with 7 or 8 other churches of various nationalities (e.g. Burmese, Ethiopian, and many others). We were able to spend a week there doing three main things: learning about what God is doing, encouraging the pastors and their families, and serving their community.</div>

One neat opportunity we had was to go to an apartment complex where many of the refugees live and invite their children to the church for VBS the following week. Many of us had the opportunity to pray for the people and to share the gospel with them.<br />

On the last day, the pastor of CIBC asked our team to fill out evaluation forms. I thought I would share Caroline's :)<br />
<br />
What did you love most about your time in Clarkston?<br />
Going to visit in the homes.<br />
<br />
What is one thing you learned?<br />
That I can be a swear in the sewing excites when I grow up and speak a new language<br />
<br />
Were the living and dining spaces adequate?<br />
Yes<br />
<br />
How could we improve?<br />
Grow some plants.<br />
<br />
How has God used this trip in your life?<br />
We can help people learn about Jesus.<br />
<br />
What else would be good for us to know?<br />
You should do good good sermons about the Bible.<br />
<br />

Dear Sweet Caroline,<br />
<br />
You are FIVE today! A whole handful! Five years ago this morning, at 8:46am you entered this world and we've never been the same. You are growing into such a precious young lady and we love you so much. Your beautiful head full of curls and your sweet smile bring joy to everyone around you. You have had quite a full and fun year and I wish I could keep you at this age forever! But at the same time, I am excited to see what another year will bring.<br />
<br />

<br />
~We still call you "Bears" as much as we call you "Caroline"! You also go by Bearoline, Caresy, and Liney Bear.<br />
~ You played your first organized sports this year after two long years of sitting on the bleachers watching Anna Kate. You played t-ball in the spring and did very well at bat, but excelled at fielding the ball at the pitchers' mound! You just finished your soccer season last night and had a blast. Your team name was the "Bears" and you loved hearing everyone cheer, "Go Bears!" You did a great job at goalie and even scored a few goals throughout the season!<br />
~ Your reading has taken off in the past few months! Actually, last year during our homeschool days you weren't extremely interested in working on learning to read, so I didn't push you much. Then, over the summer you suddenly started to sound out everything you were seeing! We opened up Alpha-Phonics again and you started sailing through it. You now love to get your own library books and read them on your own!<br />
~ You also love to write in your journal and do copywork. You find favorite picture books and just copy out every word in your notebook. You also have started leaving sweet little post-it note messages around the house for me and Daddy.<br />
~ You had a bit of a rough spring health-wise. After a couple of middle of the night ER scares and several pediatric pulmonology appointments, you were officially diagnosed with chronic persistent asthma. Words like flowmeter, inhaler, and nebulizer became a part of your everyday vocabulary. However, you have handled it all like such a big girl and we now have it completely under control. Just one little puff morning and night and we haven't had any issues in months! Your pulmonologist is thrilled with how you're doing and we are too! We are very glad that it seems like your asthma is only triggered by outside illnesses (viruses, colds, etc.) and not exercise. So you can run and play to your heart's content and never have a problem!<br />
~ You absolutely LOVE babies - tiny babies all the way up to toddlers who aren't much smaller than you are! You have an extremely nurturing personality and always want to make sure the little ones are ok. You also like to boss them around a little bit :)<br />
~ You have really started to play your violin more this year! You performed your first fingers-down song (I'm a Little Monkey) at our Spring recital and you are now working on your Twinkles!<br />
~ You have really been enjoying our read-aloud times going through the Little House on the Prairie series. We are now into <i>The Long Winter</i> and you take in every word. You and your sisters still love to play Laura and Mary and act out their prairie life.<br />
~ You hit two major milestones of childhood this year - riding a two-wheel bicycle and learning to do cartwheels! You love to do both for hours on end in the backyard.<br />
~ You tend to be pretty bashful in big groups and never want to be the center of attention. However, in smaller groups where you are comfortable around everyone, you are very outgoing and make friends very easily!<br />
~ It's hard to be a middle child, but you are a good one. Whereas Anna Kate and Eleanor are a little too far apart in age to ever argue about anything, you have plenty of opportunities to work on your peacemaking skills with both of them! Most of the time, though, you play really well with Anna Kate doing big girl things, but you also love to play little girl things with Eleanor.<br />
~ You do your best thinking at night. You take a little while to go to sleep each night and become quite a little philosopher. You often will call us back up to talk to us about whatever is on your heart.<br />
~ You are NOT a morning person, but you say that when Anna Kate wakes up at 7am, she wakes you up and you can't go back to sleep. So you come down the stairs with your eyes barely peeking open and snuggle under blankets on the couch for the first 15 minutes of your day. After that, you're finally ready to start Bible Time.<br />
~ During our morning times, you are memorizing Scripture and poetry right alongside your big sister. It is amazing how much you can remember!<br />
~ After our memory time each morning, we pull out the IMB prayer app on my iPad and you find the Kids on Mission section. It's always your job to read out loud the prayer requests from IMB missionary kids from around the world. You take this job very seriously and love to pray for their needs and for them to tell lots of people about Jesus.<br />
~ You have an extremely compassionate heart. Just over the past couple of weeks as we experienced some of the effects of Hurricane Matthew, your heart was absolutely broken for the people who were not as fortunate. You kept wanting to pray for "the people on all the islands." In fact, one day at lunch as you were praying you just started sobbing and could hardly stop. Sweet Caroline, I know that Jesus has given you that compassion and we pray that he will use you to be his hands and feet to many people.<br />
<br />
Caroline, you are such a joy to our family and these past five years have been some of the sweetest of our lives. While it's bittersweet to watch your baby and toddler days come to an end, we are loving this newstage of childhood that you are entering. You are coming into your own and you are so precious to us. We love you forever and always.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy, Daddy, Anna Kate, and Eleanor.<br />

She's also been driving us crazy with her stubbornness, but we'll focus on her funny side for blogging purposes :)<br />
<br />

Here are a few Eleanor-isms as of late:<br />
<br />
<div>
In the car while drawing on the boogie board: :::sudden terrified scream::: "I drew a spider and it scare me!!!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While Daddy was at a deacons meeting: "When Daddy come home from him meeting, him needa come love on me."<br />
<br />
The other day we were watching Caroline's soccer game and it started to rain. Eleanor said, "Look, it's pouring down sprinkles!"<br />
<br />
In crib, seen and heard on the video monitor over and over again: "Yay! I'm the line leader today! Everybody clap for Ellie!" :::::Clap clap clap:::::</div>
<div>
<br />
Eleanor has really taken a liking to playing on the front porch lately. We can always see her out the window, but she was out there by herself the other afternoon. One of my violin students arrived and asked her if she was playing out there all alone. She responded: "No, I'm out here with my brother." Student responded, "What brother? You don't have a brother." Eleanor then pointed to our life size scarecrow and said, "Uh huh, him my brother!" She has since been constantly referring to the scarecrow as her brother =) </div>

Baseball season was super fun (and busy!) this year because we had not one, but two little ball players! Anna Kate played her first year of coaches' pitch, and Caroline was finally old enough to start t-ball. Here they are on their first day!</div>

Coaches' Pitch brought some fun new changes. Of course, hitting the ball in the air, but the kids also got to take turns playing catcher. Here's Anna Kate with all the catcher's gear on. She made some great plays at home plate!</div>

Anytime anyone asks her age, she proudly declares that she is "two-and-a-half" with a big smile on her face. I thought I would write down a few things that we want to remember about our sweet big girl.<br />

<br />
~ This girl loves her sisters. They are affectionately known as Kate or KK, and Bears (pronounced "bay-ahs" with the most southern accent imaginable)<br />
~ Her southern accent shows through on a number of other words as well, including "Wahl-mahwaht" (Walmart)<br />
~ She talks all the time. I mean, all the time. She has graduated from just a word or two at a time to full complete sentences. For example, she can report/tattle on her sisters with great detail and clarity! She loves to tell you about things that happened in the past. Pretty much everything happened "last Sunday" or "last week," though, even if it happened five minutes ago.<br />
~ While she is talking really well, she still has several cute little words and phrases that I don't have the heart to correct yet! My favorite is that she uses "poilet tape" in the bathroom!<br />
~ She is becoming very independent these days and always says, "I do it own!"<br />
~ She loves to read and be read to. She still has her old favorites (Wocket Pocket, Go Dogs Go, ABC book), but she is much more open to being read any number of stories. She has found a few favorites at the library too that she wants to check out every single week (the pink ballet book, and the thumb book!).<br />
~ Her favorite things to play are dress-up and babies. She can often be found wearing high-heeled shoes, fancy jewelry, carrying a purse, and pushing a baby doll in a stroller or shopping cart.<br />
~ She still has quite the nighttime routine. She usually wants "Mommy rocka," but sometimes asks for daddy instead. She has to have her "binkamamma" (blankie and lamby) and have four songs sung to her (Jesus, Twinkle, Holy, On Your Side). Then you pray and give her a sip of water and she'll go right to sleep. For 14 hours. Amazing.<br />
<br />

~ She still loves her thumb. A lot. But she only sucks it when she's sleepy or sad or hurt or offended or cuddly or...well, you get it. She usually sucks her right thumb (which she calls her chocolate thumb), but occasionally sucks her right thumb (which she says is her gummy bear thumb). I have no idea why, but it's consistent and hilarious.<br />

<br />
~ She has done really well learning to be brave in the water this summer. She was absolutely terrified of pools at the beginning of the summer, but now, as long as she has a floatie, she wants to do everything by herself! She took swimming lessons a few weeks ago and after the first day or two (where she would NOT participate), she really made a lot of progress.<br />

~ She loves board games and puzzles. I think they make her feel like a big girl. Her favorites are Connect Four (she just puts all the checkers in and then makes them fall), Perfection (putting the shapes in the right places), the little fishing pole game, and Memory (which she's surprisingly good at). She also has a few jigsaw puzzles that she likes to do as well.<br />
~ She really likes to build with blocks. Regular blocks, big legos, magnet blocks, just about anything. Here is a creation she did all by herself. We were pretty impressed!<br />

~ Her favorite foods are soovies (smoothies), ugurt (yogurt), nana, cheese, and applesauce. She eats just about anything, but those are what she asks for. Oh, and of course, ice cream!<br />

~ She loves to pray at meal times, starting all of her prayers with "Fah God." She also likes to do the doxology as our mealtime blessing.<br />
~ She loves cameras and taking pictures. If I ever need her to just sit still and be quiet, I'll just give her my camera. Here's a shot she took of me this summer!<br />

~ She got her first haircut not too long ago and is looking more and more like Anna Kate to me every day. Sweet fine blonde baby hair. I didn't cut off much, just enough to even it up.<br />
~ She can sometimes be very brave. And then sometimes she will have absolutely none of it. For example, she found a caterpillar in the yard not too long ago. She immediately picked it up...<br />
