Teach me your truth and guide me, you are God, MY Savior MY HOPE is in you ALL day long
Psalm 25:5

We wait in hope for the lord;he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His Holy Name.
May your UNFAILING LOVE rest upon us, O Lord, even as
we put our Hope In YOU.
Psalm 33:20-22
(This is the verse that God used to move our hearts to give you the name... "HOPE")

The Joy of teaching and learning

I say that I started homeschooling Hope when she was 6 months old. I read to her alot, sang to her all the time and played alot of music. Hope is 2 years old now and is able to pronounce almost any word that you ask her to say. It was a shock to me, because she was not offering to say these words on her own. She would speak alot of giberish. But one day in the car I decided to ask her to say her ABC'S and she not only repeated each letter, after me, perfectly, but she also went ahead to say the next letter, several times. I could not beleive it! She was really learning them when I would go over them with her everyday. Then I ask her to repeat different words and I found out that she does not have any problems pronouncing any letter sounds. I have not witnessed that with a child this young that had a different mother tongue to start with.

Hope is really excelling well at anything she try's to do. She really loves gymnastics and is very good at it. She is a wise fun little girl. I am very blessed to have her in my life! She is a pure treasure....
