This is our memory verse for the next while. I’ve been less diligent with memorizing verses than I would like and how this is the start to a better routine.

Here’s a look at this week’s library haul!

I love that the library has this nifty feature that lets us know…

The one below was from their own imagination, many edits took place, the linking cubes were added as weight to make the pencil line darker. Lots of other…
