Luke has picked up quite a few more signs lately.
It really is a great way to communicate with him.
My mom even loves it and helps him learn new signs.
Now that he is talking more it is getting easier to understand him, but sign language has been wonderful to be able to communicate.
Here are the signs he knows:
Eat
Drink
More
Bear
Hat
Hair

I have been doing this quite frequently lately.
I use to make a fruit smoothie all the time back in the day for a snack and I got out of the habit, but now I am back!
I like them for breakfast, but I really like them at night when I am craving a snack.
I use:
Frozen or fresh fruit
V8 Fusion juice
Ice
Yogurt
Whey Protein Powder
It’s quite filling and really yummy too!!
I had to change this goal.
It just wasn’t working after mealtime.
I thought it would be perfect, but it just wasn’t.
So we went back to reading right before bed and we have been pretty consistent at it even though we can be tired some most nights.
It just works best for us and bedtime is the time it has officially become a habit.
I feel like I am finally at peace with my homemade pizza crust.
It definitely cooks a lot better in my new oven.
I have the crust to the perfect thickness.
The last couple of times I have made it I chose Margherita style using fresh tomatoes and spinach from my bountiful basket.
I think it is pretty heavenly.
I did it!
I hated every minute of it.
I questioned why I made this goal in the first place.
3 days would have been hard for me, but a week.
A week!
Now that was hard.
I am going to attempt this.
I will need a lot of will power.
I have access to the Internet on my phone and it is so tempting.
I will be traveling 5 out of the 7 days.
The airport can get rather boring so I will have to be strong.
Will…not…press…browser….on…my….phone.
See I can do it.
We are coming along!
Luke now signs the following: (of course it is only at his discretion, but he can sign them if he so chooses)
More (and he says it at the same time)

A couple of months ago I saw these cute dogtag necklaces that you could personalize.
I decided to make one for me to wear with Luke’s picture on it.
It turned out so cute that I made each one of my sisters one for Christmas.
I am late in posting this, but about a month ago I finished reading the New Testament.
It was great to read this again since it had been quite awhile.
The best part is we are studying the New Testament this year in Sunday School so it will be a great way to go over what I just read.
I have already started studying Isaiah. I am using a book by John Bytheway to help me study and it is really helping.
It’s still confusing, but I have learned a lot already.
I got a sewing machine for Christmas so I have no excuse!
Now I just need an easy pattern.
