So I know I just updated but I had to post what Lula said today. We are trying to talk about God often to the girls and teaching them scripture. So I pick Lu up from school and we get on a conversation about God. She ask me if He looks like us? So I tell her that God is a Spirit, He is always around us, and does not have a fleshly body like hers and mine. When I said this I pointed to my chest and Lula looks at me very seriously and says "What God doesn't have boobies?" It was too cute and I just had to share. Here I am thinking what a deep question and so I was trying to really put it on a level she can understand but apparently I did a poor job of getting it across to her.
I also wanted to ask any of you who read the blog about a book called The Children's Catechism. Have any of you ever heard, read, or know someone who has used this with their children? I was thinking about trying it out.
Below I posted two pictures of the girls. Phoebe jumping off the furniture onto her daddy's lap, her favorite thing to do. In the pic she is mid-air.

Lula started back to gymnastics this week and loves it. She is on the balance beem with her coach in this pic.

Lula is full of good questions! :) I also love the pic of Pheeb's in mid air. What a shot!!
I am sure Josh will read this and reply. I haven't read that book, but here at Southern they talk about teaching children Christian Catechisms. That is supposed to be a really good way to teach your children. Obviously, I have no experience with that either. Just know some of the professors endorse that kind of thing. Hopefully Josh will give you better wisdom on this then I.
Everytime I check on ya'll (which I am sorry to say I am not good at keeping up with all my blogs since I started work) you have a new theme!! =-) Hope you are all doing great!! Can not believe how quick they are growing up (including mine!!)
Love ya,

my goodness, i need to catch up. i feel like i've missed a ton of posts!! what a cute story. this is one of those stories you will always remember about her and smile ;-)
Kids say the darnest things!
We used a Catechism at church for a while. I think it's a great way to teach truths. Memorization is a great way to drive points across.
Hey, Tessa! Here are a few links to CCMA website with what we have done. Send me an e-mail and I'll share more. I'm not sure if I have your correct (safe) e-mail address.
