Grace day

Hannah has school today but the other two do not. Grace and I got up early (for a vaca day) and drove out to the painted turtle to make beds. She wasn't too excited to go and doesn't really like bed making but once we got going she was good. We talked a lot about serving others and the kids who go there. Also Sybil was so supportive to Grace in her efforts. We had a good morning and decided to continue the fun when we were done.

We went to the library and to the movies. We saw Miracles from Heaven, which we both loved. Grace was surprised by the church scenes as they were very different than our more subdued worship. She said it looked fun but not reverent.  We were both touched by Anna's faith and I by her mom's struggle. Struggling is part of growing. It was definitely a two thumbs up from us both.

When we got home Grace wanted some sewing machine lessons. I had it out since I needed to hem some pants for Rob last night. We decided she could make a little bag.

It turned out pretty cute! And will be perfect for carrying a book and some sunscreen on the beach!
