Eagan Community Center/Blast and Children's Museum
On Thursday of last week, after 5 days of straight rain, we were looking for something else indoors to do. My mom joined us as we headed to the Eagan Community Center and Blast for the first time. Pretty cool! Just $3/kid got lots of wiggly energy out in a positive way! Mom took some pictures...
That evening, my parents had free admission into the Children's Museum in St. Paul for a special vaccine and health awareness night, and they took the four of us. It was the first time any of us had been there, and there were SO many cool things! Here are some more pictures she took (thanks mom!)...

Last two BSF "verses of the week"
We finished up BSF last week, and these are the verses of the week from the last two weeks.
This past week we got to pick our own verse of the week (instead of using the one from BSF). I opened up my Bible and read a few verses to Summer that I had underlined, we talked about what they meant, and she picked one she wanted to memorize (video to come). This led into a great discussion of the different books of the Bible, so our goal this summer, in addition to learning a verse each week, will be to learn the 66 books of the Bible. Summer has SUCH an amazing memory, and she is already able to name quite a few! I am excited to tackle this memory project with her for several reasons. First, it will be nice to connect the stories from her storybook Bible and the verses we learn together with where they are found in the Bible. Second, it will give her greater meaning when she memorizes a reference to a verse. Finally, I hope that when she learns to read, this organizational memory base will make it easier for her to navigate her Bible by herself.

15 of our favorite things lately...
Well life has been a bit crazy lately (isn't it always?!) while I finished up a class I was taking to get the remaining credits I needed to renew my teaching license (I wanted to get it done before baby comes). I submitted all my papers on Sunday night, so now when I catch a few minutes I can update our blog instead of working on homework :).
Here is a list of a few of our favorite things lately...
