This is Our Life - week 1 {Terre Haute photographer}
Last year, I started on a Project 52 and lost interest/flaked out about 6 weeks into it. I'm trying again this year, and I'm super excited because I think this years group and themes are going to be a much better fit for me.
I'm doing the This is Our Life project by Paint the Moon and the first week's theme was "evening rituals". Bedtime at our house is a little crazy, and not always the same, but the one thing we always do is stand in a circle, holding hands, and pray. Even Jonah (not quite 20 months old right now) will stand with us and sometimes even bow his head.
Although the older kids and I all love to read, we don't always read at bedtime. I mean to, but it just doesn't always happen. I'm trying to get better about it. Since Christmas, we've been reading The Jesus Storybook Bible most nights. If you've been looking for a Bible storybook for your kids, I can't recommend this one highly enough. It doesn't have all of the stories you might expect or want, but I love that it ties them all together into one story and at the end of each Old Testament story, it talks about how Jesus fits into that story. It's a fabulous book and Joey (9) and Abbie (6) love it and want to read 4-5 stories a night. Jack (4) will usually not sit still for it and I didn't think he was listening at all, then last night I heard him telling some of the stories to my mom and was really surprised at what he remembered.
