Topic: People/Family stories
When our kids were little, I used to let them choose 2 or 3 songs to sing, then pray and kisses. We alternated that with reading a book before bed. Now our oldest lives on her own in her college town, the next 2 are teens and we have an 8 year old (all girls...in the picture they are from left to right: Bethany, 16, Emma, 14, Hannah, 18, and Maggie, 8). So I still say prayers about half the time with Maggie, the 8 yr old, so she can learn to do it on her own too. This summer, my 14 yr old, Emma, started reading a chapter a night to the Maggie out of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. They said the Hobbit is next. They just decided it on their own and are very regular about it.
Maggie is at camp this week (coming home tonight) and I asked Emma if she missed Maggie. She said, "YES, and I miss reading that book!" I told her she can still read it, but she said she wanted to wait to read it with Maggie.
How cool is that?
I think it is extremely cool.
We have extremely cool kids

PS....my extremely cool husband began a blog for our church members, but I want link to it here also. Heeeeeeeeeeeere's Charles.
