Noarai is 42 months and Lucia is 24 months old In geography we were working on North America. We had fun pretending to be the statue of Liberty.

character building videos

2012-04-26T13:35:00.000-07:00

Noarai 42 months and Lucia 24 months This is a year around project. The girls love to see videos and I realized we can enjoy videos and work character as well as bible verses. I don't have a plan for learning bible verses, I observe the challenges they are facing and I choose a bible verse to help them. I'm amazed of how powerful is learning bible verses in their character training and also

2011-11-10T09:18:00.000-08:00

The girls are enjoying daddy a lot. As I'm on bedrest daddy is with the girls every evening and the girls are so happy with him. Daddy is so funny that can where antennas while reading a book to miss Lucia with a beautiful hat. Daddy take the girls to a zoo very often and they love it. This week daddy had a funny idea.

Noarai 36 months and Lucia 18 months As I'm on modified bedrest (for a twin pregnancy) we work each day as I can. The girls and I love learning time so we make an effort to do something each day. Montesory work: Noarai worked pouring beans with three cups. She worked for 15 minutes I'm amazed that it's a lot of time for her. She was funny when I took the picture. Lucia worked with

I'm back!!!!! This week daddy has found a frog for the girls and I couldn't wait for posting it. The frog on the head. Noarai didn't want to try but Lucia stood firm all the time. I love her nauthy look. Noarai was very brave and finally she enjoyed holding the frog. Lucia made us laugh tons and tons. Because each time she was able to hold the frog, she made this awesome surprise face. Daddy

2011-07-18T09:41:00.000-07:00

This last weeks we have found out that we are expecting twins. And mommy has been suffering morning sickness (and whole day sickness) I'm feeling tired... well I've decided to take a break of tot school and adjust to our new situation. Even though we are not having pre-planed tot school, learning is happening in our house and here you have some of the random things we had acomplished. Noarai has

Enjoying Family

2011-07-04T13:14:00.000-07:00

Lucia loved her montessori work this week. I need to learn more about montessori because Lucia loves this way of learning. She has been sitting down with this activity for 20 minutes several times a day. I'm amazed. After two months of montessori pouring work, Noarai has managed to pour her juice all by herself!!!!!! We did some pink water play. They made a big mess for only 10 minutes.

2011-07-01T12:20:00.000-07:00

Daddy is a really good cooker. This week he prepared my favorite dinner. Thank you daddy for your yummy food!!!! He loved to play with the girls when they woke up. I love Lucia's and Noarai's face in this picture. This is a game that daddy made up. He prepared the pillow doing machines movements and sounds and threw it on the girls face. They asked daddy more and more. This week daddy

Wordless wednesday

2011-06-22T13:44:00.000-07:00

I can choose just one:( First the beautiful photos of Noarai with the "ballerina's" dress as she calls it. I love this beautiful face. Then this precious moment of love . And finally to funny moments. The first one is Lucia looking at her sister whith a hat face. And the second one was sooo funny. Because I was explaining Noarai to color by number, and I said to Noarai " wich color are you

Pink, If I were a butterfly and reading

2011-06-20T12:45:00.000-07:00

I haven't been able for a month to write a post. And in this time we've started a reading program that fits Noarai. We were struggling with whole language aproach: Noarai didn't want to read the books and at the same time she was keeping asking to me to teach her how to read. So I was sure this wasn't the appropiate aproach for her. I don't remember how I came up with this method: Teach

Daddy's time Friday- Again!!!

2011-06-17T04:49:00.000-07:00

Sorry I missed last week post, but my sister and her family were arriving to Spain from Miami, and I didn't manage to write my post. This week I haven't got a lot of pictures because daddy has gone on a trip, we miss him a lot!!!!!. Yesterday night over 2am, Noarai began to call "daddy....., papa...., Jero......, J..e....r...o" As you see in English, Spanish and by his name, I was amazed that

Work together as a team

2011-06-08T14:33:00.000-07:00

I was amazed on how natural they began to work as a team. Lucia wanted to push the bike, and Noarai didn't manage to pedal. If Noarai stopped Lucia waited patienly and if Lucia stopped Noarai asked her to push. It was a heavenly moment. How hard is for us to work with other people and how natural the children can do it. My pray is God help me to learn to work like this. I'm linking with

Daddy's time Friday- At last!!!

2011-06-03T12:26:00.000-07:00

After fighting with my computer for a month I'm finally able to post again. My husband has been asking for his post all the month :) and at last I can do it. Cuddling with daddy on the sofa, Noarai's language of love is touch and she mades sure that daddy was filling her loving tank. This is soooooo fun. Daddy uses to arrive home when the girls wakes up from nap. This week both of the girls had

Mommy, Jesus is with you!

2011-06-02T13:10:00.000-07:00

After a hard argument with my husband I started to cry. My big girl (2.5 years) held my hand, looked at me and said "mommy don't worry Jesus is with you!!!" I just started to laugh and gave her a big hug. Thank you Jesus for this blessing you gave me, thank you because she knows that you are with us and you help us.

2011-05-20T13:09:00.000-07:00

It has been a while without writting anything. The bluetooth of my computer has broken and yes I didn't manage to solve it yet.

Cookie with yellow yogurt and sprinkles. In the

Our favorite african video was this Christian song. Both of the girls enjoyed this one and listened to it at least three times each day. This Dogon mask dance was a hit for Noarai. She said each day "look mommy that's so funny" We enjoyed lots of different african masks. And for reviewing our animals we enjoyed this one

2011-04-29T07:08:00.000-07:00

This week we enjoyed a very special activity with daddy: the GARDEN!!!!!!! Uncle Pele, tete Marcos and daddy used to plant them before. As uncle Pele and Marcos aren't in Spain he was planting it alone. We were able to help him and daddy included the girls in planting trees and veggies. Noarai helped a little bit but Lucia helped a LOTTT. She's in the stage of introducing things in objects and
