We welcomed Micah Ebenezer Jensen to our family on November 16, 2020. (More details to follow in a later post – I’m a little busy right now!) Thankful.
Today – Thanksgiving Day – we celebrated Becca’s 11th birthday. Becca was a preemie, born on Thanksgiving Day, 2.5 months before her due date in February. Thankful.
Last month, Anna pulled both her top front baby teeth out, within about a week from each other. She pulled her top, front, right tooth out on October 8, 2020. It was her first time to pull out a tooth by herself. One of her bottom ones fell out on it’s own and the other bottom one was pulled by Gloria F. When Anna pulled out her own tooth, she thought it was the Best Day Ever!
On October 15th, 2020 Anna pulled her top, front, left tooth out. She thought it was hilarious! SO brave. We usually don’t even know she’s pulling out her tooth until she’s laughing later on. She’s so cute with her missing teeth!
October 16, 2020 we had a party for Anna & Clara to celebrate their completion of All About Reading Level 1! Our party consisted of each student reading a story from their Vol. 3 book, a presentation of certificates and gifts, and each girl got to choose a game for us all to play together. Anna chose SkipBo, and Clara chose Clue the Card Game.
Teaching reading to Anna & Clara together has been really fun for me. It’s nice to have two students to work with and they are usually the best of friends!
Ezra wasn’t too interested in playing games, so he just read on the couch. Isaiah decided to dress up so he could match Josh.
It was a game-playing day, since earlier in the afternoon we played Querkle.
Usually, Becca watches Ezra during the time I teach the 1st graders. It works great, since Ezra can tag along while Becca brushes her teeth and fixes her hair. But Ezra often escapes and tries to join 1st grade too.
Awhile back I saw it was National Daughter’s Day…with three girls, everyday at our house is daughter’s day. God has blessed us with three beautiful girls ages 10.5 (soon to be 11), 6.5, & 4.5 years old. We have three very fun, creative, crazy girls that each have different personalities. May God give us grace and wisdom to point each one to Christ.
One of my greatest hopes for our children is that they will remain close throughout life. Twenty-some years from now (if the Lord allows us to stay in Cambodia), our children will all be halfway around the world and we’ll be in Cambodia. My hope is that they will be close and the best of friends and will enjoy each other’s company as well as weather the storms life together. I love it when our kids play together and laugh and enjoy one another’s company. I pray they will always do so.
