A Drop of Hope

I recently finished reading the Harry Potter series to my kids and while they all really enjoyed me reading to them, we couldn’t agree on what to read next. When I received A Drop of Hope by Keith Calabrese and I saw that it is geared towards ages 8-12, I decided it would be perfect for us to read together. My youngest is 8, my middle is 11, and my oldest is almost 14, but I didn’t think a book about empathy and hope would be too young for her! In fact, she was the one most willing to listen to the story, while the boys were a little more reluctant. We now have read four chapters and all of us are enjoying the story so far.

Three Things Tuesday

Time for another update in three points each. In posts like these, you get an update on each child (or family member) in three bullet points per person. I like to write them about once per month and to share something new about each of my kids!

Sunrise at Boynton Beach

While we were in Florida, Dave went for a morning run and saw the sun rise. We decided that the relatively late su rise time would be the perfect opportunity for us to watch the sunrise as a family. So the next morning, which happened to be New Year’s Day, we headed down to Oceanfront Park Beach in Boynton Beach to watch the sunrise.
