Hi Moms and Dads,

I know the children are wishing for snow.  Snow probably will not fall but hopefully they will enjoy their day out of school.  Last week we Introduced fractions by making pizzas.  This was a lot of fun.  The children thought the best part was eating the pizza.  This week we will continue our winter theme.

yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
