Today I got to read a bit about Abraham from the Bible and then I wrote a interview with questions that I would ask him, and answered them the way that I thought he would. It was hard, I had quite a time trying to figure out how I thought he would answer some of them. Including; Was it hard tying Isaac up?, Did you ever doubt God’s plan?, and Did you have a religion before you left Ur? So, I/m going to let you ponder over that and deside what you think he would say for yourselfs, because my answers aren’t very good, though my questions are, if I do say so myself. Please comment what you deside on the matter, thanks. Vella

Today we had an assignment to read a bunch of Bible verses with promises in them, and then write in our journal our favorite one. It was a pretty hard choice as it is the Bible and most of it is good, (I used most, because of Job, not that it’s bad in any way but due to the fact that it is mostly sad, and may be interpreted as bad because God lets things happen to Job even though he didn’t do anything wrong, even though it is sort of encouraging in a way because of Job’s courage and faithfulness towards God even though most would turn away because He let “bad” things happen to them even though they are really good because they bring the greater glory to God.) Now back to the question, I personally liked Isaiah 41:13 myself, here it is: “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”
The ancient city of Ur was in modern-day Iraq, Abram lived in Ur before he knew God. Ur was a port city, and it has been around for a very long time.

School was okay today, we went to the park and did some school there. It was a ton of fun. It is 3:04 and I am finished with school.
Did you know that there are over a 1,000 clay tablets in one library in the fertle cresent. Isn’t that cool? It really helps us to learn about the past.
I was learning more about commas and their uses in binder work. There is this really funny book that dad told me about a couple years ago, it is about the importance of using commas the right way. The main thing in it is this: The panda eats, shoots, and leaves. That is the first one, here is the second one: The panda eats shoots and leaves. Aren’t commas amazing!!!

Today we went on a field trip and mom surprised us by picking up dad and we had a picnic, it was awesome and we also went to the library and the store. It was really fun, I really enjoyed lunch with dad, it was the best surprise ever because dad left early for a men’s Bible study and we didn’t see him at all this morning.
Science was crazy as always sense we started this section on evolution. We were learning about this school district that wouldn’t let a teacher teach both sides of evolution or even extra about it because they were worried that if they knew too much about it they would see how ridiculous it is. They even fired the teacher. What is the world coming to???

Today we went on a field trip to the orthodontist and the library. We had to go to the orthodontist because I had a wire that popped out and Reed had two! The library was short but fun, and I got 8 books. I had extra school today because I didn’t finish all of yesterdays.
In math they taught me how to multiply and what multiplying is, it was a bit boring. I had 1 1/2 of a lesson today. But it went pretty fast.

I am going to tell you about our week and a day long vacation in this journal. I got up at about 6:00 am and got dressed, ate breakfast, and did last minute packing/packing the stuff that I just realized that I had forgotten. We left the house around 7:00 and hit the road. It didn’t seem too long, even though we drove 12 hours that day. We listened to 2 audio books and played a ton of car games. We listened to 6 audio books total on this trip. I read some and got motion sick. That night we stayed with some friends, they had a fire pit, a zip line and more than one play house in their backyard. they also had a new puppy and a home theater, I went zip lining for the first time, and zip lining in the dark too!!!!!!!!!! We also had s-mores and played games. I got to sleep with my friend whom I hadn’t seen in about 2 years, it was a ton of fun!!! We went to lamplighter publishing and had a tour led by the president we even watched some books get made, I folded 100 boxes, and the president even signed 2 books for us and personally picked a book for each of us kids. Dad was thinking about maybe working at lamplighter so we went to their company picnics and made friends, they are awesome people who are serving God through their work and we love what they do but God doesn’t want us there right now. We also went and saw Niagara Falls, the Statue of Liberty, the site of the Twin towers, and our cousins we hadn’t seen in 3 years. At Niagara Falls we got ice cream, and we were going to go to the crown at the Statue of Liberty, but it was broken so we saw it from the New Jersey side. We got to camp out on the floor in the basement with our cousins, and we got there way before dinner so we got to spend a bit more time with them than we might have. And we got to meet the newest edition to the family of 11, she is not quite 1 year yet. On the 4th or 5th day of driving it got a bit boring, I am glad we are back home now.
