Our Beautiful Beauties ~

 Grandma Lawnmower mailed the girls these cute tutus. I told my mom that I think our girls are the only ones wearing tutus in this bush Alaska village.
 The girls have been learning a godly character trait each month. So far they've been growing in the traits of patience, contentment, obedience and self-control.
 I like it when they define each term at dinnertime. Nome's favorite one is obedience, "doing what you're told, when you're told, with a good smile." She added the "good" part.

Ruthie's favorite one to recite is self-control, "controlling my attitudes and actions so they don't control me."

WARNING: Application of these traits is currently being practiced...trusting in God's grace to conform them to His image.   :)
