10 and then 9 days to go...

Yesterday was reserved for travels, laundry, cleaning and unpacking. We spent the evening shopping for items for our home school Christmas party.

But today we had to cancel the party because everyone seems to be sick or too busy. The children were so disappointed! So we decided to get one last trip out of our annual passes to the Aquarium! Enjoying the wonder of God's creation is a great way to celebrate advent, we decided. People must have thought we were a little charismatic. We challenged the kids to "find glimpses of Jesus" on our day out. They took our challenge very seriously and exclaimed occasionally, "There He is!" when they saw an animal that they loved. "There is a glimpse!" We saw His fingerprints all around us today!

Romans 1:20

"Ever since the creation of the world His eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things He has made."

What a fun trip to the Aquarium! The kids were so sad to miss the Christmas Party! I was going to call and see if someone could pick them up but, I barely had the energy to get out of bed, let alone get the kids dressed. I have really enjoyed reading all the fun things you have done with the kids these last few weeks. That book you are using just sounds wonderful!!
