Sledding and a Home School Meeting

www. clipartheaven.com
Today we went sledding at Delwood Park with Ms. Cheryl, Mr. John, Page, and Georgia! It was really cold up on that hill, but the kids had a great time. After they went down a few times we walked to where the creek is and something John called "The Hill of Death"and walked around and cracked ice for a while. It was really neat to see how thin the ice was, but how it would really stand up to people jumping on it! As we were walking and I was cracking ice I would let out this little scream... I just couldn't help it. It reminds me of old movies when the mother (aka the non-nature person) is out with the experienced group and is always the one "screaming" or saying we went too far. You know the worrier! I wasn't that bad really... at least I don't think I was! The O's are the type of people I wish I was more like in respect to being "the outdoor type". I like being outside in very limited quantities and usually in more sedentary activities. Anyway, we spent about and hour and a half out there and I was really surprised actually, I had a great time out there!!



Tonight was our bi-monthly home school meeting and it was WONDERFUL. Pastor's teaching tonight really hit home. It really made me think about some of the things we do. You know how you do something and then start getting away from it for no apparent reason...well, I looked the "ground I was sowing" and realized where we need to fix something. I am sure as I ponder this lesson God will bring other things to my mind!



Thank you Pastor and Julie for all your hard work and taking the time to invest in us. You are such a blessing.

Sledding sounds fun (even though I am like you and would rather be watching from the car :)!). I thought Pastor's message was incredible too! Thanks for coming.

My kids would have loved to go sledding. I'm with Julie I would have watched form the car. I thought that Pastor's lesson was very powerful as well. I love GBC.
