School update

I haven't updated in quite a while about school, so here's to now.
We have really enjoyed our "storytime." We've read some great books so far this year: A Lion to Guard Us, Little House in the Big Woods, and we are currently enjoying The Cricket in Times Square.
Today, after we finished reading an extra "keep reading" chapter, the kids wanted to play "Cricket". Bounce was Chester Cricket, Ketchup was Mario, I was Tucker Mouse and our dog Bella played Harry Cat. I have to say that Harry Cat stole the show and we all had a great time.
One more story to share. The book A Lion to Guard Us is about a family that is trying to sail from England to Jamestown. The book is actually based on a true story about a ship that was shipwrecked on an island for several months before finally sailing on to Jamestown. It was interesting because the people were so frustrated that they were shipwrecked for so long. However, once they finally arrived in Jamestown they found very few survivors left and those who were still alive had little to no food left. That winter, while the others were shipwrecked, most people died of illness and starvation in Jamestown. The once shipwrecked people were not only saved from death and disease, but they brought food from the island they sailed from.
It reminded me of how God was working behind the scenes. Those shipwrecked probably saw no reason for their situation. They probably thought they were doomed there on that secluded island, but God had really saved them and used to save the lives of a few others ultimately saving the colony of Jamestown.
