Thanksgiving was a special time for us. Jack, Alysa, Maddie and Jackson came for the weekend. The first thing we did Friday morning was to go to the library. Alysa and Jackson stayed with the his age group while Maddie and I went upstairs for the older group. Afterwards Maddie and Jackson wanted to check out some books to take home.
Jackson found some Thomas the Train books and immediately sat down to look at them. He was so into reading them.
Maddie also found some books. She has learned to read and it is exciting to see her interest in learning new words and finding out what the stories are about.
Alysa is always a good sport and helped both of them find just the right books.
Jackson had hardly gotten in the door when he sat down and started reading his books. He was so cute sitting there that I couldn't resist taking his picture.
Jack loves to sit down and play the piano. He has composed several songs and loves to play them.
We have a new indoor pool here in St. Marys very close to our house. Jack, Maddie and Jackson enjoying swimming in it. It took Jackson a while to venture down into deeper water, but he finally did. (I have a picture with Jack, Maddie and Jackson at the swimming pool that I have tried to upload, but can't. So, I'll have to just leave it out.)
Sledding is also a fun thing to do in the winter. There is a good size hill close to our house that Maddie and Jackson enjoyed. The hardest part is walking back up the hill pulling the sled.
Maddie is so sweet with her missing front tooth.
Son Jack sat and helped Father Jack learn some things on powerpoint.
One of the most fun traditions we have is for Jack to go to Value Village (in London) and hunt for bargains. He then will have a "mashion show" for us. When Maddie was small she couldn't say fashion, so we have a "mashion show".
It was a wonderful weekend and we do thank the Lord for His rich blessings.
