Ee Week

For whatever reason, I can not find any pictures from our Ee week we did many moons ago, but I wanted to include the list of books we read for Ee week. One theme for the week was about Eggs. In the springtime, through the local university, we will hatch chickens from eggs. I actually signed up for a course on embryology today. So, we will revisit this booklist in a few short months...
An Egg Is Quiet
Rechenka's Eggs
Green Eggs and Ham

Chickens Aren't the Only Ones

Saint Nicholas Day

Happy St. Nicholas day. Good old St. Nick paid the kiddos a visit when Daddy arrived home from work. Daddy came home to find presents left on our front porch for each of the kids. Every year St. Nick brings each of them Christmas pajamas and a pair of slippers. This year St. Nick also wrote a letter to each of them. The kids are still sleeping with their notes from St. Nick.

"At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that tshe could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me as it does for all who truly believe."
