My goofy, sweet puppy decided I needed company on the couch when I leaned my head back to rest for a few minutes. I tried to take a selfie with him, and he gave me a big smooch on the ear. #doctorhoratiobiscuit #writerswithdogs Rehearsal but in the most lovely place. Looking forward to the choir concert at the cathedral this Saturday. We have been saving [very] slowly but surely all year, and now we have a cozy reading couch in the library! It’s an oversized loveseat rather than a sofa proper, but at nearly 70” wide, it’s plenty big for reading. The kids have been reading up there since last night when it was delivered. I’m so grateful for this. It was a homeschool need that I have looked forward to for a long time. Getting to have a proper away space for reading is a dream come true. #childrenofjoy #kinardlibrary Hello! I am your puppy. I am right here if you need me. R i g h t h e r e. #doctorhoratiobiscuit We learned about St. Lucia in Sunday school. We continued our discussion of the Magi and made surprise gifts for our parents. (We made a tunnel from our blocks to let the kids try out the candle crown.) #handsonsundayschool #accessiblechurchschool #stnektariosacademy #orthodoxkids Part one of our St. Barbara feast day celebration is complete! The #childrenofjoy made the sign of the Cross in the scone dough. When we baked them, the cross was still there! This reminds us of the cross that stayed in the marble when St. Barbara made the Cross with her finger. #stbarbara #orthodoxkids I bought these silicone house molds for the gluten free gingerbread. I’m hoping that I can assemble the finished walls into a GF gingerbread house, but at least it will taste nice if not. I laugh when I see this warning near our house. A church is doing a construction project and has this sign reading, “CAUTION Ducks and construction equipment exiting drive.” The kids giggle at the thought of ducks driving construction equipment. Today in class we learned more about St. Nicholas before his feast later this week. Then, to our surprise, we found that he had left chocolate coins in the kids’ shoes, too! It was such a lovely day that the kids spent an hour playing outside behind the church on the playground and running back and forth to the lovely (and possibly fairy-dwelling) tree. (Two of our boys had swollen tonsils this morning, so I took the girls and JJ to church.) #handsonlearning #accessiblechurchschool #handsonsundayschool
