Family Prayer Time

When we say our family prayers at night, the girls like to help. Eliza will repeat the last few words of every statement. And she can finish the prayer by herself. When we announce that it is prayer time, Sadie says, "Knees, Knees, " and then gets down on her knees. As David or I pray Sadie will quietly mumble gibberish until the end and then she will clearly state, "Amen." She's such a doll. We are actually working on reverence with Eliza. She likes to repeat the prayer from anywhere. For instance, she will get up half way through a prayer and go play with something, all the while she will continue to repeat the prayer.

That is so precious! Liam is trying... has been for about 6 months, but he can only keep his arms folded for like 10 seconds and then he folds them again when we say Amen.

Taj (my 3 yr old) likes to say the prayer also. He starts with "Everyone ready folks?!?!?" Then he whispers his prayer. Not sure why...
