Spring Has Sprung

This Week’s Family Fun A Message from Brenda Pielle

Dear Parents:

When I was growing up my Dad used to recite a little poem each year at the start of this new season: “Spring has sprung, the grass has “riz” (risen), I wonder where the birdie is? The bird’s upon the wing, but that’s absurd, the wing’s upon the bird!” My brothers and I heard that over and over again, and always with a laugh afterwards because Dad would say, “boidy” instead of “birdie”, and “absoid” instead of absurd. Whether we like poetry, songs, or dancing for joy, the season of spring certainly is a happy time of new beginnings.

This week the parent tot video has names of our children in the first song that is called, “The More We Sing Together, the Happier We’ll Be” followed by “I Love My Mom, I Love My Dad”; “The B-I-B-L-E”; “Look at the Robyn”, and closing with “God Made Me”. The story this week is called, Guess How Much I Love You.

The Family Fun video has the following songs: “Most of All”; “Love the Lord Your God”; “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow”; “Under the Boardwalk”; and closing with a song called, “Go Make A Difference”. The story this week is called, A Wilderness Passover.

May these songs and stories provide you with some time to spend as a family singing along, listening, and capturing some quality time together.

Sincerely,

Brenda Pielle
