The weather has been cool, so the kids have spent most of the past two days outside playing. JJ wanted a picture with the dog, but the dog kept snuffling at his paws. At last they both looked up at the camera. #childrenofjoy #doctorhoratiobiscuit I gave the boys haircuts yesterday, as you can see in this photo of Bazzy’s Super Team. (Rosie isn’t a superhero, so she opted out.) #childrenofjoy The tomatoes are gone, and I planted more basil to take over this little herb bed. Dr. Horatio Biscuit was trying to eat the tomato leaves, so I had to pull them out. He played so hard all afternoon with the kids! He liked tugging at the dried out sunflower stalks, and he got silly with the willows. I love this app, Kid in Story Book Maker, that we bought to help with the kids’ social stories. Bazzy has a cool book with himself as the modeling character telling about his new dog, and on the app, we even recorded him reading it. I think the app was $8.99 for iPad/iPhone. #accessiblehomeschool Meet Doctor Horatio Biscuit, our new standard poodle puppy! He’s a bit overwhelmed tonight, but we are so happy to welcome him into our family. #dogsofinstagram #childrenofjoy #doctorhoratiobiscuit I’m writing about God’s faithfulness this week on my blog — link in my profile @somemyrrh — and sharing about the way the presence of God is at the heart of disability life and welcome. Only one week till my book releases! #ofsuchisthekingdom #theologyofdisability Image: three pineapples with text reading, “In church, the people who are best at making others feel welcome are those who have taken to heart the truth that God has prepared a place for them. They feel at home with God, and they want to bring others into the circle of love they experience with God. -Summer Kinard summerkinard.com” Facebook readers, read more at this link: summerkinard.com Today we had a crafty class. We threw “seeds” (puffballs) at each other, and when someone named a practice that helps prepare our hearts to receive God’s word, that person got a pack of wikki sticks. After we had gone around a few times, we made the seeds and wikki sticks into a big plant bearing lots of fruit. Then we decorated peg dolls to represent us in the Duplo Church. #accessiblechurchschool #childrenofjoy #orthodoxkids #orthodoxchristian #handsonsundayschool The girls are into coloring these days. #childrenofjoy Gluten-free fish and hash browns are a new favorite comfort meal for the grownups. #glutenfree
