Our little Naomi gets play time and talking with mommy time. Since she is only 7 weeks old she mainly sleeps and eats. :) the behavior of me and the kids seems to be improving since we put this into place. Plus it gives Todd and I great discussions on what are goals are for our kids and what we can do to train them up in Gods way.
The 2nd thing that The Lord has shown me is having our kids hearts. If we just teach them to be good that is not enough. We need to have their hearts if they are to be raised correctly. I don't want them to get older and not care about what we are telling them or we take something away and they become bitter or angry. Praying for them is key and also living what we talk. Saying one thing and doing another is not going to lead our kids to Christ but rather push them away.
I'd like any thoughts on this matter of having our kids hearts.

I'd like more thoughts on having our children's hearts, too. I think I'll try finding more on it. Sounds very important and something I'd like to fully understand. I really like this post and the advice given. And I really like the photos :-)
Its been on my heart lately to do things like this with Ari. To have a schedule, with some reading, teaching and chores. We finally have a normal nap time (mostly) and I want to start teaching her pre-k things since she will have to miss a year because of where her birthday falls. Thank you for encouraging me to dive into this! The pictures are awesome btw. I miss you!
