"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Happy half-birthday, Daisy!!

Well, this is a few days late, but our precious Daisy Grace is now SIX MONTHS OLD! How can my baby already be 1/2 of a year old? It is hard to believe. Daisy continues to be such a sweetie, and a delight for us all:) Just look at this sweetheart! We love her:)




And here is the whole group. What a loveable but crazy group of kiddos:)



On another note, last week was Spirit Week here at NTBI! It was kind of fun--it reminded me of homecoming week in High School:) Difference is, now I dress my kids up instead of me! The other NTBI (located in Waukesha, Wisconsin) traveled here to Jackson this past Saturday to compete against us in some sport events. (I shouldn't say "us"...I did not participate:) ). So that week leading up to Saturday was Spirit Week.


Monday was "Heroes vs. Villains"


Tuesday was "Twos-day" (or Twin Day). Kaine and Halle dressed as twins...


Daisy and her good friend Sophie dressed as twins...

...and also, Jill and I dressed as twins. I don't have a picture of that, though:)



We skipped Wednesday (hippie day...wasn't sure what to do with that one). So Thursday was Mismatch Day. We had fun with that!


Friday was Blackout Day. I think Kaine and Halle look like little ninjas:)



We are continuing to enjoy our classes so much! We are learning a lot. We just finished Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus, and we have just started Numbers. They do chronological teaching here, so we won't start any New Testament books for awhile. I am super excited to start those, to start tying everything together. I am especially wanting to study Hebrews since we just did Leviticus...I think it will be amazing to see how they fit together.

Have a great and God-glorifying week!!

That looks like so much fun! And I'm disappointed there isn't a picture of Jim&Jan's "twins."

Looks like the kids really enjoyed it(I can just imagine how much Halle enjoyed dressing up). Looking forward to this weekend.
