Its been a struggle with young kids but a habit we started from the day we were married which has carried over. Even if the kids are jumping on the bed or running around, we are reading. I liked your ideas for engaging them a bit more. My brother just reads a verse or two. My husband sometimes will just focus on the concept after we're done reading and explain that to the kids, even if they didn't hear the actual reading:). Someday they will start reading on their own we hope, and someday we will work on getting them all sitting at the same time:). Until then, we take it a night at a time!

They already had two other children. For the first 7 months of the quints life the Wilkinson's had a about 70 volunteers a week in their home. I was able to go to Austin and help for two weeks. One of the things that so impressed me while I was there was Rachelle's determination to have scripture study every morning and family home evening every week. Despite the chaos and exhaustion of daily life (it was overwhelming chaos and exhaustion) Jayson and Rachelle stayed committed to doing those two things. I learned a valuable lesson, make the choice and then DO IT, no matter what. <br /><br />If you would like to read more about their quint birth story (it's amazing) go to:<br />www.wilkinsonquints.org<br /><br />And keep reading those scriptures, it will pay huge unimaginable dividends.The Queen Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155350213939987094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-23184388658161175712010-02-12T08:11:24.829-07:002010-02-12T08:11:24.829-07:00My family did not study the scriptures together wh...My family did not study the scriptures together when I was young. My husband's did. For the first ten years of our marriage {eight with children} it was not a top priority. In the past five years we have made it a priority and it has made a marked difference in the atmosphere in our home. I am always amazed at the armor we are able to shield our children in each morning as we read together and find personal, modern day applications from ancient prophets. Do kids fall asleep? Yes. Do kids goof around? Yes. Is it totally imperfect? Absolutely! But I love it anyway!The Dragonflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825999197593786030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-88973171986036744602010-02-11T17:01:28.613-07:002010-02-11T17:01:28.613-07:00My oldest was (still is actually) really intereste...My oldest was (still is actually) really interested in the plagues Moses inflicted upon the Egyptians.
