Views of their new home.......

Billy Graham Library


Today Bill and Linda went to visit the new Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, NC. The home that Billy grew up in was moved to the site of the new library and also Ruth Graham was buried there a few weeks ago. There is no tombstone yet and no markers at the gravesite. The library was very nice and included many family pictures, memorabilia, videos of crusades and at the end gave the invitation to become a Christian, with counselors available. There was a bookstore inside called Ruth's Attic. Enjoy a few pictures......................

Candace the "Teacher"

Hannah and Emily show their art work of the ocean.

David and Candace are busy with their 3 little ones. Candace is enjoying homeschooling the kids even more than she thought she would!

Hannah will be beginning 1st grade work this year. She is reading and loves to "do school!" She begs for it everyday! She is adding, beginning to subtract and LOVES to write her own little stories and illustrate them herself. Hannah is also excited because she is able to read more and more books by herself now! What a big girl! If you want to see more of our school adventures, check out Candace's blog. She tries to update it each week with what they are learning.


Hannah is writing her own books!



Emily is starting kindergarten this year and is very excited to have her OWN school work to do! She is busy learning her letters and numbers and is a very eager little learner! Emily loves to color and cut and paste and to work on her phonics books. She also loves our kitty cat, Belle. She treats her like a little baby and will wrap her up in a baby blanket and carry her around. Too cute!

Caleb is 2 1/2 and the excitement with Caleb is that he is potty training this week! He is doing well so far and Candace can't believe she is almost done with diapers for good! Caleb is such a cutie and has us all giggling throughout the day. Caleb's favorite things are balls and trains! And his favorite book is Goodnight Moon, he loves to snuggle with mommy and read it each night.

What a cutie!!
