Heading Out to Vacation Bible School ~ 2010

Ok, so I am really behind on blogging, but will try to update Lydia's monthly updates as much as possible ... :) During this month, Mommy, Daddy and Lydia enjoyed a relaxing trip to Myrtle Beach, thanks largely to PawPaw and Nana Anthony and the use of their beach home. It was nice to get away for a few days and just relax! :) Lydia FINALLY enjoyed getting in the ocean this time! In fact, she had a blast!! She also enjoyed a trip to the "new" Pavilion, with lots of rides for younger children ... she even experienced her first ride alone, and loved every minute of that, as well!

We also had Vacation Bible School at our church this month. Lydia enjoyed being old enough to go to all of the different activities this year ... especially crafts! Mommy started back to school during this month, also! I will be teaching just two classes American Literature and British Literature [grades 11 and 12] - first thing in the mornings - at South Pointe Christian School. For the remainder of the day, I will be blessed to do the thing that I love most - hang out with my girl! We have decided to keep Lydia home for at least this next year, and I plan to work with her to introduce some preschool skills. She has already mastered the upper case alphabet and nearly all of the lower case letters (as far as recognition), and we will continue to work on numbers 1-20. It is such a joy to watch her learn, especially since she is so eager!
