Mini Recital

As you all know, we homeschool, so I thought that we could share some of the things that the girls have been learning recently. Even though they are in three different grade levels, I love it when I'm able to combine certain subjects. Bible is one of those subjects that we all do together. They also learn the same Bible verses. Recently, they memorized Psalm 1, and while Alyx and Larissa can both recite it perfectly, I thought it was more impressive that Sydney could quote it. =)

Larissa chose two other verses that they have learned...Psalm 8:9 and Psalm 19:1. She'll get the longer passage next time. =)

Alyx chose a poem entitled, "The Lamplighter." As you can see in the video clip, her sisters were trying to make her laugh, and I think that's why she got a little tongue-tied near the end. =)

Last month when the Steve Pettit Team was here for revival services, they had special services/programs for the kids ministry. The girls learned a song that they can sing in English and Spanish, and they sing it all the time! In fact, it's Syndey's new "hand-washing song." (I make them sing a song while they lather the soap to be sure they are washing long enough.) In English, it says, "I have a friend in heaven and He loves me.....His name is Jesus Christ." In Spanish, it says, "Yo tengo un amigo que me ama....Su nombre es Jesus." Enjoy!

Okay, now it's time for another flashback. These video clips reminded me of some clips I have of the girls when they were younger. Sydney is 2 1/2 years old in her clip, and she's saying Proverbs 15:3, "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good."

Larissa is 4 years old in her clip, and she's saying John 3:16. She gets a little mixed up on the motions, but I find that it helps them learn verses when they are younger. Isn't her little lisp cute? =)

Alyx is 3 1/2 years old in her clip, and she's saying her version of I John 1:9. Yes, she is saying that God has given us our sins and all unrighteousness. =) (I do have a clip of her saying it correctly, but I thought this one was much cuter.)
