Better late than never

This is the best family picture I have. Alice was not in the mood for pictures that day. Chad got a broken nose the night before Christmas when a beam fell on him. Someone was building a loft in our house, and they asked him to come help for a second, but they hadn't nailed the beam in, so it feel straight on Chad's nose. It was scary, but didn't turn out nearly as bad as we expected, and is healing well. Thank the Lord!

Alice started K4 this month. It's way too easy for her, but it's fun anyway. Some of the cute things I remember she said to me this month are:

“Too too others, he will, too too you. That’s what Jesus says.” (Do unto others what you would have them do to you)
She told me “Read God’s Bible every day for life”
"Beware of dogs, that’s what the Bible says."

One day, we were outside and she was looking up at the sun, and I said, "What are you looking at?" She says, "I'm looking at God."

We have a big picture of Jesus on our wall, and I've caught her a few times, kneeling on the bed, looking up at the picture saying, "Jesus, you're my best friend" or "Jesus I love you" or "Jesus thank you for all my friends."

I think she gets most of this stuff from Cherub Wings.

When I ask her if she's happy, she'll say "No, I'm sad". I ask "Why are you sad?" She says, "Because the people are so selfish." (The Rock in the Road story)
