Ask & It Shall Be Given To You...

Matthew 7.7 -"Ask and it shall be given to you." Thank you, Father for the promises you have given me and my family. Thank you for the ones that I have seen with my own eyes come to pass! Thank you in advance for the fulfillment of the ones to come! You are God! You are the One in whom I place my trust! Thank you for your neverending love and forgiveness! You are awesome!

Today, we went to church, and there was no children's church. Andrew did super! Tatiana had some problems at the end- getting ancy. And Diego, well, he had difficulty sitting still throughout! It was so fun being able to hold Tatiana and Andrew in my arms from time to time and worship the Lord! It was neat to watch them go put change in the Adoption Change buckets on the altar. I am so blessed. Today, I decided instead of just reading the Bible and praying with the children that I would start trying to teach them Bible Scripture. My nephew, Kaleb, went to a private Christian school where he learned a memory verse for each letter of the alphabet. I found that online, and I want to start implementing that tomorrow! And, you guessed it---we will start with Matthew 7.7.

Today, also, we used picture cards to review objects and name recognition. Andrew is learning so much!!!! He is able to recognize many half of the 52 cards! I am so proud of him! Tatiana did not do to bad either...Diego had fun repeating after them as well. I want to get a Leap Frog computer/tv dealie-o. I have to look at them more and maybe can find one on e-bay? We were given the LeapFrog videos. They watch them all the time.

Ben and I are considering taking Tatiana out of Preschool and working with her at home with Beamie. We were given lots of Pre-K and KG workbooks and can do the same as what she is doing at school with the exception of socialization. However, for that aspect, we have talked about setting up playdates with homeschool moms twice a week. I am excited about that! We have some great friends and then Diego can also be involved!

Well, they are all learning more English now. The boys are throwing more tantrums now when they don't get their way. Andrew dramatizes A LOT! Diego seems to be mimicking his behavior. But I was told that the Terrible Twos was improperly labeled, it's really the Terrible Threes...Well, I am determined to have a Terrific Three Year Old! We can learn to share with each other without throwing a tantrum. We can learn to give rather than take all the time...we can learn to wait and be patient...We are going to continue imparting God's principles into them, and We WILL see this fruit in their lives...Thanks to all of you who have supported us throughout this journey...We appreciate all the words of encouragement you have given us along the way...God Bless!
