Sunday, March 18

Two happy moments today!  The first was on the way to church.  R was not happy about being out of bed at the unholy hour of 11 a.m., so it was fixing to be a silent ride.  But L put in a Father Gilbert CD we borrowed from a friend.  We had never listened to an episode before, but they're terrific!  They are audio mystery stories produced by Focus on the Family.  Father Gilbert is an Anglican vicar and investigator.  I think we'll all enjoy them for quite awhile.

And the second happy moment was tonight drawing with L while we watched Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?  Here are our completed works:

This is L's.  Beautiful!  

And mine.  It's okay for a beginner

Mine suffers by comparison to L's.  She has much prettier and truer lines for the ballerina's legs, more proportional ankle and shoes, and I like the delicate effect of the graphite rather than the charcoal that I used.  Wow, this kid has some talent.
