Swim & Sand

I can't think of a prettier place for swimming lessons and eating sand.

QOTD: Classic Clara

"Mom, when I'm four, or five, or six, can I go to college?"

*******

Mom: "So Clara, what do you want to do instead of gymnastics ?"

Clara: "Oh, nothing, just snuggle up, and play, and eat."

This child is a lot like her mama.

Micah's Verse & Hymn

Micah 6:8

"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” 

Each of our children has a hymn that we've sung to them from birth (and before) at bedtime. Sometimes Arch and I have chosen different ones, but we both independently chose this one for Micah before he was born.

May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.

May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.

First Game of Go

Arch got GO as a gift sometime in Nebraska. We finally (with the help of YouTube) figured out how to play (the book Invitation to Go was not all that helpful). 

The Verdict:

Arch won by 33 stones.
