That's a Lot of Wives

Awana Leader: What is a midwife?

Lilly: When a man has 20 wives, the one in the middle is the midwife.

I'm so glad Rachel is helping in Sparks this year, otherwise I might not have heard that! By the way, I'd read the same exact story to the kids that morning -from Exodus 1. In my eagerness to get the point of compassion across, I skipped the vocabulary lesson! Oh well, the laugh has been well worth it!

Grandma Helen is teaching Lilly how to embroidory. She loves it, she picks it up for a few days and then lets it set for a week. Grandma comes home soon, so we should try to finish the monkey's shirt tomorrow. I'm getting pretty good at threading a needle again! Maybe I'll even try my hand, come Christmas vacation.
