Weekend

 

It was a beautiful weekend. The weather was fine, and Saturday was a day to celebrate a baby on it's way!

My dear friend Jen, who so many of you prayed for last fall, is going to be a grandma again! One of her daughters, whom I've known since her girlhood is due in late spring. Her family and church friends gave her an amazing shower!

I was honored to be invited and brought my gift of a homemade quilt. 

Sunday we went to lunch with two grands, Kyle, and some friends who had one of their grands with them. It was fun.

This week has been busy. I finished knitting a baby blanket, (for one of our daughters who is expecting their first baby this summer) and I have been working to finish up our school year. 

My five year old local grand told me yesterday, "I'm the only one who can't read." I told her, "I can teach you!" and we started with short a and put a few sounds together. 

I never rush to teach a child to read. I want them to be ready, physiologically as well as desire. One of my own girls had the desire but just needed more time. We waited about six months and started again and she took right off! Rather than discourage her, we gave her mind and body time to be ready and when we did she had success!

But it always thrills my heart to hear a young one wanting to learn to read. It is my opinion that if a child can learn to read well, they can learn anything!

I hope you had a great weekend. I'd love to hear what you did! We are having a mini heat wave here in Mid April, but we know we can also still have a late freeze! Such is spring!
