Kyle and Bible reading
So Ky and I read the rest of the story of Noah and the ark. Then we started to read about Abram - who became Abraham and his wife Sarai, who became Sarah. And their travel around the desert. We stopped at the point just before the story of Abraham offering his only son Isaac. I checked in with Mom on this after Ky had gone to bed, then moved the bookmark to the chapter after this. I feel kinda funny skipping it - but I'm just not sure Kyle can understand sacrifice, what it means, and he might get really caught up in it. I think I may try to find a way to come back to it later - after talking about how it ends first :o) but for now we're going to skip it and come back later.
In the meantime, Kyle was very interested in Communion on Sunday. Asking what we were doing and why. So we may skip WAY ahead to read about the last supper - but this doesn't even really answer the questions he's going to have. He's going to want to know HOW the bread is Jesus' body and the wine his blood. I need to find some age appropriate way to talk about this I think.

About Jen:
Welcome to my Blot! The result of a typo, but it fits me rather well.
I have no set agenda for my blot - it rambles wherever my brain takes me. Have a seat, grab some coffee or other beverage of choice - read what you like, ignore what you don't like :o)
We have a cat, two boys, a girl and two parents! My oldest was diagnosed with Asperger's but then later had that label dropped. He may or may not have been touched with some ADHD - join me while we learn more about this new and interesting facet to Kyle's Being...
We ventured into the world of cloth diapering with Holly in 2007 and it was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be - actually, it's only different from disposables in that I had to wash them - which is no big deal. Really!!! Ask me :o) I read that it takes 500 years (YEARS!!) for a disposable to decompose.. I guess if we just tossed the diaper out in the back yard it would break down quickly, but with 10 - 12 changes a day I think the neighbors might object to that method! So instead we wrap them up in little balls, put them in plastic and send them on to the waste management facility... where they are probably buried.... no oxygen... so they sit and sit and sit. Having contributed 2 boys worth of diapers to that process already, I figured I should make an attempt... have a look around at
WildFlower Diapers to see how cute and fun cloth diapering can be!! Shannon is a wonderful person, and I have no problems sending business her way!! Holly has since learned to use the potty, but I do miss the cuteness of those dipes!!
I have refocused my attention on collecting coupons and saving in general. I will try to post periodically on what I've saved and how we're doing. We're also saving our loose change for our 'travel fund' - we'll be opening a Travel Savings Account in the near future, and I'll also post our deposits and balance there so you can play along at home :)
