Sunday Journal Writing

In an effort to make our Sabbath more sacred, we've been working on writing in our journals on Sunday afternoons. I assumed it would be a lot more work than it actually was to get the children to write in their journals. They love to write, color, and draw in their journals. It's really only a battle to remember to sit them all down and do it, but once I get the journals out, they are all game.

It's so fun to watch them get into their drawings and writings. They always think very carefully about what events occurred over the last week to include in their journals. We've been doing it for a few years now and the children have loved reading back through their previous entries. Hmmmm. Sounds like me and my efforts to blog more so we can have a family journal. Harris always thinks very seriously about what he should write about and does great drawings!

Bevan doesn't do much of entries yet, but sure loves hanging out with everyone during the journal writing party!

I love how happy and loving Halen and Brigden look together. You would think they actually love each other and want to be together eternally! What a very brief piece of Heaven we are able to enjoy during Journal writing time.
