We Finished!!!

I know I already posted, but this is a big deal, worthy of two posts in one day. WE FINALLY FINISHED THE BOOK OF MORMON!!! I can't say for sure, but I think it has been about 4 years of reading a chapter a night, then down to 4 verses, one for each of us, having the kids repeat after we read the verse, then up to 5 verses a night, with Mikayla reading her own and Mike reading for Tyson and helping Braden read his. Now three of us read a verse, Braden and Tyson repeat theirs after Mike and Jacob climbs all over the kitchen while we read. Mikayla is just disgusted that we have to start over again. She must have thought when we finished that we would never have to read again!

By the way, today during FHE, disaster child, also known as Jacob, pulled a shelf full of books onto himself, hitting his glued up forehead in the process. No blood this time, just tears. This is a bookcase we have had since Mikayla was a baby. No other child has attempted to climb it or pull a shelf out. I truly fear for this little boys safety!! What is he going to do next?!?!

We have been reading the Book of Mormon every night for 19 months now and we are only in 2 Nephi 4. We will be done around the time Will goes on his mission. Yay for us!

Good job Pitcher family. We would be so happy if we could finish the Book of Mormon in 4 years.

That is fantastic! Way to go! Poor Mikayla! I'm sure you're right that she expected to be done forever.

I remember that once we read D&C instead of the Book of Mormon for family scripture. Maybe it was because we were disgusted that we would have to start the Book of Mormon again...
