April

Oops. I missed an entire month of blogging. It is just a bit crazy here right now... Jonathan will finish off his four year Masters of Divinity adventure in just a few short weeks. Except right now those "few short weeks" feel more like a few looooooooooong weeks. There are still Greek passages to translate (just looking at those pages of translation and grammar diagramming makes me a little ill), papers to write, binders to compile and the list goes on.

Not that the girls and I aren't finding ways to keep busy as well....

In over my head

Gabriella and I were discussing vowels. They are one of the tricker parts of learning the written English language. She knows what the vowels are, but still often mixes and omits them.

Me: Every word has at least one vowel and some words have more.

Gabriella: "Brrr doesn't have a vowel"

Me: (not sure I've heard correctly) "How do you spell brrr?"

Gabriella: "B-r-r. (makes a shivering gesture) See? No vowels."

Me: Yes you are right sweetie, almost every word has a vowel.

Mama needs to stick to teaching art.
