HAPPY 200TH BLOG POST TO THE LLOYD FAMILY!!

I found two old drafts that never made it to being posted. Thought I may as well add them now.

An old one from 2009 read:

Today I was working on designing an advent calendar for our family. 

I have such great memories of a neat one we had as kids. 

While I was thus engaged, Ezra snuck into the pantry 

and poured all the brown sugar into the powdered sugar bin. 

I'll tell you I was not a happy mama. Ezra is so cute and fun but such a handful! 

Ha! Those totally frustrating days are sweet memories to me now.

Here is one from early 2015:

There is no indication that early readers are better readers. 

Still, it's impressive when a 4-year old can read well, 

and that's Joziah right now. 

I guess he learned right alongside his best friend, Ezra. 

(In fact, his reading skills are at the level Ezra's were just 6 months ago, 

but until recently Ezra loathed anything to do with letters and reading.)

So I recently complimented Joziah in his good job reading. 

He said, "Mom, do you know how I'm reading so well? 

Jesus is telling me the words."

Oh, the faith of that little guy!
