Jonah and the Whale

Couple of days back, I found one letter pad with few cartoons scribbled by Charis. As I saw at the pictures, Shalom told me that it was the story of 'Jonah and the Whale'. Then, Charis came and narrated to me about each picture. I thought it was a fantastic effort to warrant a post . . . 

God speaks to Jonah

Jonah got into a boat going the opposite direction. However, he was thrown out of the boat only to be swallowed by a big fish.

God ordered the fish to spit out Jonah into dry land. 

Jonah reaches Nineveh and he goes around the city . . . and preaches

God sends a vine to give shade to Jonah . . . 

The plant is eaten up by a worm and Jonah is disappointed . . .

Our little singers . . .

After the last video of our children singing, it was only couple of days back that I was able to respond to Shalom's repeated requests to film one of their singing sessions. 

For this point in time, the song was a very telling reminder of what God is to each one of us. The song was their selection . . .

Ritika, who is a new friend joined them for the performance . . .

Birthday Cards

We had given Shalom a handcrafted birthday card last year. This time, both the older kids were determined to make me birthday cards on my birthday couple of days back.

Below are the scanned copies of the cards . . .

Charis' Paintings

Putting Shalom's paintings on the blog was quite an incentive for Charis also to be artistic.

Assorted snaps of Shalom, Charis and Chesed doing various things . . .

2 weeks back, we had a short visit to Kolkota. It was a sort of a new development for
Shalom and Charis as they decided to get onto the upper berth without much fuss. 

The return journey was better as they insisted on sleeping on the middle berth

Here is Charis waiting to milk her cow. Hope you did not miss the
gross mismatch between the bucket and the cow. 

Shalom started guitar classes 2 weeks back. 

The trio watching cartoon in my old laptop

Talking about cartoons, the daily roster for cartoons. We implemented it after
there were regular episodes of debating on what to watch.

More snaps later . . .
