Day 1

And so begins our journey through the Bible.

My hopes for this blog is to chronicle the journey the Gannon kids as they venture to make it through the entire Bible together.

So.... tantrums, crankiness, sickness and all. Here we go!

Our goal is to read three chapters in the morning and three chapters in the evening.

If you are wondering how in the world is she going to have time to blog about that....well, I need to do something to keep me busy when my kids work on their math right?

Today was really day two of our journey. Yesterday we began in Genesis 1 and read about creation, and the fall of man.

Some of the things that stuck out to the kids
- the realization that the garden was at the head of the Tigris river which they learned about in school so they knew exactly where that was!
-When God created trees He created them with fruit on them...they didn't have to grow...they had the appearance of age.

What we learned about ourselves
-Anastasia"I learned that I need to listen to what I am told to do" ..."like Eve should have"
-Jonathan"I learned that you should always obey God"
-Josiah"I learned that if you don't obey God you'll be butt naked"
I TOLD YOU I WAS GONNA GIVE IT ALL TO YA.....NO FLUFF HERE!!!
-Anneliese"Adam and Eve ate from the bad and good tree when they were not suppose to and when they ate they realized they were naked and they still had their eyes opened that's all I know nothing else....(In her most grumpy voice)
As far as the Angelina is concerned she ran through our circle the entire time distracting the kids...It really is a wonder anyone remembers anything! Seriously!

Despite the littlest one running through our time together I really enjoyed it!
I never get tired of reading how God created the world and each thing/person he created has purpose...the sun, the moon, the stars and most of all us!
