Finding Joy Everyday: Easter Continues!

What a JOY to be a BOY in Springtime!!  Here's a few JOYS we've been en-joying this past week and looking forward to for this week!!  Seamus is On Top Of The World This Week 'cause he LEARNED TO READ!!  He's read through the first book of the Seton Reader and he is SO EXCITED!!  That is a Joy for him and ME!!!  Yippee!

Re-counting my list from last week, things have been high on the accomplishment level! 

We've done really well with One-to-one time and some Mama-Love activities!

We had Nature study just about everyday which was wonderful!!  Despite our SNOW DAY on Wednesday!!

Our Cooking and Baking is at an all-time high with all the cakes, and birthday breakfasts, lunches and dinners we've been having! 

We have managed to incorporate more Music into each of our days!  Matthias is also our resident Pianist and he is doing remarkably well keeping us all entertained!

Our Quiet time with Jesus and Mary has been very fruitful, especially family rosary time!!  Sorry no picture...

I actually believe we all managed a little joy everyday this past week, some days much more joyful than others, but we are really focusing on finding some Joy everyday, and it's working!!

Thanks for visiting today and I wish you all a Joyful day and week ahead!!

Congratulations to new reader Seamus! It's a wonderful thing when the world of books becomes open to a child. My two read all the time.

Hi Meredith!
Congratulatiions to both Seamus and you! What a satisfying accomplishment. Seamus, may you enjoy a lifetime of loving literature! Sounds like your family is finding plenty of joy...there's always plenty around, and its important sometimes to take inventory, I find, lest I fail to see it. Thanks for the posts on "Mama-Love"...another area that I hope to be more intentional about. Being with my children all the time does not necessarily mean I am connecting with them in meaniful ways...this takes conscious effort. Thanks for the inspiration. God bless your day Meredith!
