To Show Parent Core/Love of Learner/Scholar here are some things we modeled to the children today...
Deanna: Scriptures, journal, finished my BYU paper and submitted it, researched the requirements for graduate school (for the next BYU assignment), practiced the piano, finished the biography of Karl Marx, studied Greek, mentor meeting, and started the new Dan Brown book. We had our meeting with our mentor and we discussed Walden, Greek classics and our Greek language study among other things.
Alex: Scriptures, word of the day, went to work, researching for our Christmas trip, and went to our mentor meeting. His new CD/tape player came in so he should get that installed soon.
