| Our Special Interests |
As a family, we enjoy praying together. We believe prayer makes a big difference, and we have a different prayer focus for each day of the week. We find creative ways to pray together that appeal to all ages.
We also like to help other people. We watch for ways to help our neighbors, and we share the love of God whenever we can.
We enjoy playing board games as a family, taking bike rides together, and playing soccer at the playground across the street.
We also enjoy learning new things together. We go to the library at least once or twice a week. Reading aloud is a favorite activity. Even our older children look forward to hearing a good story. All the kids are known for convincing us to read "just one more chapter."

| About Our Home |
We love our home. It is well-built, comfortable, and spacious. It offers plenty of room to spread out (although we often choose to be together in the front room). |
| Our Children |
Our children at home range in age from 4 to 15: Timothy, Charity, Marcus, Benjamin, and Caleb. We also have two older children who are young adults.
