- The past two weekends and weeks have been completely normal with only one exception and that was Ricky had to work out-of-county all last week.
- Two weeks ago -- I taught Aolani how to take independent showers, which she does three times a week. She lost a front tooth. The kids got the new zipper bedding (we discover them sharing a bed and sleeping together once or twice a week still). We celebrated Aolani's 100th math lesson by having century day; she made biscuits and ate them with jelly and cheese for a snack. With her own money, Aolani purchased a Nerf bow and arrow, which they love.
- Aolani antics: has begun crawling on my big bed to make it for me :); helps me with some of the reading aloud parts for school; enjoys teaching and advocating for Micaiah; loves fashion, dress-up, beauty, color, flowers, all things feminine and dainty, being big, cooking, drawing princesses...
- Micaiah's mishaps: now learning the alphabet (just did 'C'); loves to draw people and invent animals and dinosaurs and monsters, and cut with scissors, and use tape, and copy letters; he begs to leave his "work" out every night; prayed for Chiberia (China + Nigeria?); frequently congratulates Aolani on her good memory or doing a good job; enjoys "making school for Daddy"; when we were watching the classic Disney movie intro, he commented, "Wow! Tinkerbell made all these movies!"; when Ricky tells him something, I often overhear him reply, "You don't know that; that's not your school"; he is constantly lining up his toys or papers...
- One of their most favorite activities every week is going to art class, though! And then going grocery shopping with Daddy :) See the next four pictures:
The Princess and the Paper Robot (Micaiah's the dragon): a short, hilarious film
Our adorably cute nephew, Isaac, who is about to turn one
Aolani is the top, and Micaiah really is the bottom

Sticky murals (random craft supplies on contact paper)
- School verse is the same as last week: Romans 12:19-21 ~ V -- “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing so, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
- Verses to memorize this week: 2 Corinthians 3:11-12 ~ And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts! Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
