I 'm a little late in saying so, but we got a dog! Her name is Zoe. She is a Doberman. She goes to work with Papa. Every evening when she comes home you would hear, 'Zoe's home!' She absolutely loves Asher and is sweet with the rest of us. She has grown since we got her and will end up being huge. We have no worries though, she is very quiet and loves being social.
There is one tiny little problem though. She hates Nala. Nala hates her. Nala is furious that we brought the 'thing' home. :) Zoe is a joy. We all love her. Maybe Nala will cool down soon.
Judah got a goldfish. He named it Flame.

SORRY!
I am super sorry I have not posted.
have been busy/lazy. So here is an update at what has been doing lately.
have been busy/lazy. So here is an update at what has been doing lately.
Let me start from the beginning. During my ballet lessons last year, Mom found out that there was a school that you could go to 2 days a week and then home school the rest of the week. As she learned more about it she decided she wanted to try it out for a year. After phone calls, paperwork, etc., we were in! Long story short, we chose our classes and the first day came. My schedule on Tuesday is Block Class (which is a jumble of things), Lunch, Drama (We are learning about Shakespeare and his plays.), French, and then Band. I play flute. On Thursday I go to Science, Poetry & Prose (We are learning how to perform poems.), Lunch, Drama, Wonders of the World, and Band again.
As well as starting school, I have started ballet again. My teacher said I could skip a class so now. I am in Ballet 3. I also started 4-H. I am in Archery, Cake Decorating, and Photography. No classes have started yet, so I don't know much more. But they should start next month.
Those 2 paragraphs are only half of what we have been doing this summer/year! We have had a multitude of people come and stay at our house, we have gone to potlucks, and we have had my birthday done over 3 times!
Thanks for being patient!
The pics up there are as the following: The top left is my b-day party w/friends; the top right is a pic of Ella at an outdoor concert; the bottom left is a pic of Asher at the beach with our grandparents; and the bottom right is a pic of Judah at the beach, buried.

Father's Day
Sorry I am a day late Papa. I just want to say that I love you as deep as the see. I love you as wide as the sky. And I love you as far as the moon. You are the best dad for me. I am proud to be your daughter. I love you.

Gulp!
Today is the big day! I do my ballet recital tonight! I am excited and nervous. So I need you to be praying for me. For those of you who don't know, I and my class will be playing "orphan children" in the Secret Garden. Please pray!

We Again Have A Pet! (YAY)
If you read my mom's blog you'll know we have a cat again. Our Aunt Celeste is a worker at a veterinarian's office, she is always bringing animals home. Her latest addition was a baby parrot! She knew Mom liked Siamese. So when she saw a Siamese that needed a new home she immediately sent Mom a text with a photo of the kitten. We all fell in love with her. We named her Nala. Nala was bitten by a dog which bruised her ribs. So that means we have to be careful with her. But she is fitting in wonderfully! We all love her. She is mellow, for a kitten. She loves playing when she wants to and will attack your hands and feet, as well as anything that can move. I have gotten a few (okay, a lot) of scratches from her little, but sharp claws. In about a month we will be taking her in for shots. VERY soon after that we will have her spayed. (We don't want more kittens). :) I will post pics of her soon. Ciao!

Rowland Bingham
I have decided to start posting about my favorite books that I am reading. Here is my first one.
I just borrowed a book called Rowland Bingham. It is fascinating! He did a lot of things that took TREMENDOUS amounts of faith. When he first went to Africa with two other men representing the Sudan Interior Mission (SIM), they had no one behind them but one of the men's mother. He eventually had to come back because the two other men had died. He married and got more people into the mission. Soon he had donations from many places, including a girl's school. He ended up getting many mission stations set up in Nigeria and met people who were willing to donate to his personal needs and the mission. He had an interesting way of sending out missionaries that I doubt many people used. He insisted on having each missionary live with them in his apartment. That way he could learn their personalities and dreams so he could match them up with the right station! During a tour of the world, he came to realize that the people in places like New Zealand and Australia couldn't get to Nigeria very easily. He wished he could have mission stations in East Africa. God heard his prayer. He ended up meeting a man who, like himself, had started a three-man mission in Ethiopia. They soon were working together. Despite doing all these things he also opened a school in America for missionary children. This would help them stay healthy and give them education till they were old enough to join their parents. The SIM ended up owning a press called The Evangelical Christian, a missionary boarding house, numerous mission stations in Nigeria and Ethiopia. Rowland Victor Bingham died in 1942 of a stroke.
