Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. "I pray that the Lord willprotect this house and everyone who lives within and keep it safe from all evil, Amen.
Here's a video of our mom working hard on a Saturday morning. She loves her chainsaw. Go Bett. Doesn't her roses look beautiful?
On the way to grandmother Bett's house.
Levi wrote this song when he was five years old entitled "In to my heart" Here's a video of Noah, Luke and Levi singing the song recently.
Here's another song Levi wrote recently,"Jesus is my Super Hero. He added another verse since this song was recorded.
Can you believe karate mom is going to be the grandma to 15 grandchildren. Wow... !
We are all so proud of Levi. He learned all of his multiplication tables and the countries of the world in no time.
Levi did this with no help today. He gave himself an A+Photo below. He is also getting ready for his Karate test. If he does well, he will earn his next karate belt. I will post a video of him quoting the Old and New Testament and the countries of the world soon, and hopefully, I will post a video of the kids quoting all the states and capitals in alphabetical order. The rest of us have been working on our Black Belt Katas and self defenses and Sienna has been at Horse Camp for the last two weeks. She will also be a counselor next week and she is looking forward to it. We are all attending classes now and Sienna will attend zoom while she is at camp.
Here's a few photos from last Friday night
Here's a video of Savannah practicing one of Bach's songs on the piano. I will post one of Hannah in my next post. Six of the older kids used to walk up the hill every Thursday for piano lessons. While one was coming down the hill another one was going up. This went on about six years, but they told me recently that they didn't learn much from taking lessons. I actually teach my music students a different way. We learned all the chords and write songs with the chords we learned. My students just love it and they progress so fast and then we work on our lines and spaces. Back to the older kids now, they all have the gift of playing by ear and what a blessing this is. Just yesterday, I was preparing everyone's dinner and I heard someone playing one of the Beetles song and it was so beautiful that I thought it was a sound track. I went to the music room and it was Hannah. Like Savannah, she plays so beautifully. Gabriel and Adam even won several competitions and awards in Charlottesville. Each one of my older kids are so humble and don't want to publicize their accomplishments like most people and I'm very proud of them for this. Most people are braggers and want to be seen but these kids aren't like this. Again, I'm so proud of them. I will post more videos of their talents at a later date. Here's Savannah practicing Bach's Solfeggietto. My blessings, my joy.
