New Stuff is Fun

This has been an exciting week at the Taylor house. Matt came home the other day with this organ that is in excellent condition. It came with some books that even I can figure out how to play a couple of tunes. This picture is of Sam trying to tap out a tune after my rendition of Feelings.

I just love little hands!!

Matt also came home with some other things, including a set of dinnerware that goes really well in our kitchen. Now if I can find a tablecloth that matches and is big enough for our table.......then I will find something else that we need, I am good at that. I just really like to shop!

While our household acquired some stuff Anna has acquired a new skill. READING!!!! This week she began her BOB books for beginning readers and has finished the first three as of today!! It was so amazing to watch her put words together from the sounds that she has been working on. Especially since half of the time she acts like she can't remember what a letter is, much less what sound it might make. As you can tell I am mighty proud of my little girl and can't wait to see what she will do next!!

This world needs more young organists.

If I had known you when I got married I would have given you my set of those dishes! (i didn't like them that much, but they go wonderfully with your kitchen)

Congratulations Anna!; July 12, 2010 at 10:40 AM
Caseygirl said...: Yay Anna! Reading is a very exciting skill (I remember crying at the end of kindergarten because I still couldn't read).

Now we know she is officially a Thomas/Walsh Woman - we all love to read multiple books in a row :); July 13, 2010 at 12:28 PM

46And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. 51He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 54He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; 55As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. Luke 1:46-55

³²Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

³³But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

³⁴Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

³⁵For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁶And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁸And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 10:32-39

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 3:16-21
