Small treasures/ Male Skarby

FaithButton

1. I went out to Michaels and got some unfinished wooden boxes so that we can put little wooden dolls and accessories, some of which we have aquired over Christmas, away properly.

2. I went to a local violin store and picked up two 1/4 size violins (Elizabeth is growing). I'm going to take them tomorrow to the lesson so that our teacher can help us make a decision which one to buy.

3. I have made a little bit more progress on our trip to Poland, which we are taking in March of this year.

2. Pojechalam do sklepu z instrumentami strunowymi i przywiozlam do domu dwie pary skrzypiec rozmiaru 1/4 (Elizabeth rosnie ...). Jutro nasza nauczycielka pomoze nam podjac decyzje ktore z nich kupic.

3. Spedzilam troszke czasu na planowanie naszej podrozy do Polski, ktora odbedziemy w marcu tego roku.

The Coming * Nadejscie

I really like Advent and so do my children. Why? Because we are awaiting ... Whom? What? We are awaiting the Little Baby - Tiny Love who has the power to heal and bring peace. In our family we put up our bare evergreen tree on the first Sunday of Advent. It reminds us that we are awaiting. There are hidden treasures burried in awaiting - the most important one is JOY. It builds up. On the third Sunday of Advent we know that we have come a long way with awaiting and getting ready so we put our lights up on the Tree because we are rejoicing. We decorate our Christmas Tree on Christmas Eve - a tradition brought over from Poland where I grew up. So this year we are awaiting the Prince of Peace and our homeschool focus is put on peace education.
We hope your Advent is joyful as you discover the hidden treasures in awaiting.

Adwent ma dla mnie wielkie znaczenie, poniewaz pomaga mi on oczekiwac. Oczekiwac na Kogo? na co? Oczekiwac na Malenkie Dzieciatko - Malenka Milosc, ktora ma sile uzdrowic i przyniesc pokoj. W pierwsza Niedziele Adwentu my w mojej rodzinie ustawiamy nieudekorowana choinke, ktora jest dla nas symbolem oczekiwania. W trzecia Niedziele Adwentu zawieszamy na choince swiatelka, bo jest to niedziela radosci - juz tak niedaleko do Bozego Narodzenia. Choinke tradycyjnie dokorujemy w Wigile przed kolacja wigilijna. W tym roku w czasie Adwentu koncentrujemy nasza edukacje domowa na oczekiwaniu na przybycie Ksiecia pokoju, totez robimy duzo prac Montessori dotyczacych edukacji pokojowej.
Mamy nadzieje, ze Wasz Adwent wypelniony bedzie odkrywaniem skarbow ukrytych w oczekiwaniu.
