			<content:encoded><![CDATA[This is the earliest I’ve ever had my Christmas shopping done, and I must say I’m quite relieved to know the pressure is off to beat the clock. But for those of you who are still looking for gifts for your kids ages 3-8, I thought I’d post some Morrow Family Favorites to give you a hand.<BR/><BR/>We love games here at Casa Morrow. Board and puzzle games particularly–especially when they make you think. (When you’re a homeschooler, you tend to look for games that require more of the players than simply rolling a die and moving some spaces!) One of our top favorites, which even my husband and I enjoy playing, is <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Can-Do-That-Games-01017/dp/B002V3RCE6" TARGET="_blank">Richard Scarry's Busytown</A>. It’s a combination of spinning to see how far you can move and working together with the other players to spot as many of a particular object as you can in 30 seconds (and then everyone gets to move that number) on the I Spy-like game board. We got this last year when PJ wasn’t even 3 yet, and the only thing that sometimes got in the way of her playing properly was her own lack of focus. Developmentally she was able to understand the rules and play correctly. It’s a great mix of activities (either spinning the spinner or searching for the objects; working as an individual and working as a team) and it doesn’t take real long to play, either. This one gets a very enthusiastic double thumbs up and 5 stars.<BR/><BR/>The other favorite board game is Granny’s House by <A HREF="http://familypastimes.com/" TARGET="_blank">Family Pastimes</A>. Family Pastimes makes cooperative games that encourage teamwork, reasoning, and thinking outside the box. The goal of this particular game is to reach Granny’s house with a gift without being eaten by bears, drowned in the lake, lost in the forest, baked by the sun, or stopped by a fence. These  obstacles, called &#8220;Uh Oh’s,” are conquered using the &#8220;Good Things” that you choose at the beginning of the game or whenever you land on a red diamond on the board. If you can come up with a reasonable way to use, say, a trumpet to get over a fence or an inner tube to get past the bear, then you can–it’s a great way to encourage creative thinking! I recommend this one for the upper end of the age range we’re working with here, because it can get a little long, especially if you land on an Uh Oh that you can’t get past and you have to follow the path down to the Uh Oh below it (and on and on until you either land on an Uh Oh you can get past or you land back at your house). The games may look a little bit ghetto, but that’s because they’re manufactured entirely by the Deacove family. They have games for all ages, including adults, and buying from them is a great way to not only support a family, but to also cast a vote of confidence for the Mom and Pop shops that are struggling to survive in this conglomerate corporation-run economy.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.thinkfun.com" TARGET="_blank">ThinkFun</A> is the maker of the two other great games that we love here. What I particularly like is the fact that they’re single-player games, which encourages independence and confidence. The first is <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Think-Fun-1540-ThinkFun-Clever/dp/B001EGRNWM" TARGET="_blank">Clever Castle</A>. The object of the game is to correctly achieve the layout of the nine tiles as shown in the clue notebook. The notebook is divided into skill levels and the clues get quite tricky towards the end. It seems ridiculously easy for adults, but for children it’s a huge challenge, even the beginning clues where they show you exactly where everything goes and all you’re doing is directly copying the layout. The only thing I don’t like about this game is that there isn’t a way to keep the mesh bag of notebook and pieces attached to the board so they don’t get separated, though I suppose if you simply kept everything in the box you’d be fine. Don’t ask me why we didn’t. :)<BR/><BR/>The second ThinkFun game is <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Tangoes-USA-SG-011/dp/B004TGPQDW/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1323728318&amp;sr=1-1" TARGET="_blank">Camelot Jr</A>. (Or Royal Rescue, as it used to be called--you might see it with that name in a resale shop or garage sale.) This is a great spatial reasoning game that challenges you to lay out blocks across a board in such a way as to allow the prince and the princess to be able to reach each other. Again, the notebook of clues progresses in difficulty as you go along, and I’ll admit there were a few that stumped me just in the intermediate level!<BR/><BR/>The last game we enjoy is <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/MindWare-32016-Qwirkle-Board-Game/dp/1933054395/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1323664287&amp;sr=1-1" TARGET="_blank">Quirkle,</A> though PJ can’t really play it and Abby is just getting to where she understands it well enough to be able to play without my help (though she still misses the majority of the strategy). The goal here is to get as many points as you can by laying out your tiles to create rows where all the tiles share either the same color or the same shape. Because it can reach all over the place like some mutant crossword puzzle, you need to make sure you’re either on a very large table or on the floor, which can be tricky when you have a little one who thinks it’s fun to run through the game and kick the pieces around. (PJ and I often play as a team, and she likes laying down the tiles where I specify and helping me decide which ones to use on a given turn.) This is a great  thinking game, plus it reinforces colors and shapes (and counting, if you let your kids keep score!).<BR/><BR/>And even though my Christmas shopping is done, Abby’s birthday comes up before the end of the month and PJ’s is in the spring, so if your family has found some winner games and toys, be sure to leave a comment telling us about them!<BR/><BR/>PS: Today we’re starting Phase 2 of our fundraiser for author Sandi Rog, so be sure to check out <A HREF="http://fundraiserforsandirog.blogspot.com/2011/12/phase-2-commence.html" TARGET="_blank">the blog</A> so you don’t miss the opportunity to win your choice of a Kindle Fire or a Nook Color, delivered in time for Christmas!<br><br>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[  Do you ever feel like there's so much junk going on in the world that you just get frustrated and sad and angry? You wish that you could do *something* but feel like the issues are so big and your effort would be so small? That's how I felt at the end of October. I knew so many people going through so much hurt, and I didn't know what I could do for anyone--and then God nudged me to do something I thought would be small that ended up being huge!<BR/><BR/>That picture right there is of my friend Sandi and her family. Sandi has stage 4 lymphoma, and has been battling it for over a year now. Traditional treatments aren't stopping it, but she's found a new treatment that is very promising--and very expensive. And, of course, it's not covered by insurance.<BR/><BR/>Sandi needs $20,000 to do the full treatment, and God led me to start an online fundraiser to help raise that money. People from all over the country (and even a few outside it!) have donated a variety of awesome items, from books to homemade chocolates to services to scads of other cool things, for us to put into giant prize packages that we'll start raffling off on November 25th. Raffle "tickets" are $5 each--buy as many as you want, and then enter them on the baskets you want when they go up for the raffle! Visit the <A HREF="http://fundraiserforsandirog.blogspot.com/2011/10/way-to-do-some-good-this-holiday-season.html" TARGET="_blank">Fundraiser for Sandi Rog blog</A> to learn more and help the Rog family this holiday season.<br><br>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[  Dan here. If you are a writer or just interested in the writing life, check out my new blog, <A HREF="http://danscribing.com/" TARGET="_blank">Danscribing.</A> It's not specific to children's writing, Christian writing, or any particular kind of writing. It's more about exploring and immersing oneself in the craft and community of writing. The style is - for the most part - characterized by quick jabs and bite-sized morsels of intereting, informative, and inspirational material. There you will find random quotes, author interviews, photos of writer's homes and workspaces, app and tool reviews, and whatever else strikes me as worth posting. You can also access <A HREF="http://pinboard.in/u:danscribing" TARGET="_blank">my Pinboard.in</A> profile where I am compiling links relevant to writer's and artists, and <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/danscribing" TARGET="_blank">my YouTube Channel </A>where I am developing playlists of author interviews and more. Of course, you can also follow me on <A HREF="https://twitter.com/#!/danscribing" TARGET="_self">Twitter.</A><A HREF="https://twitter.com/#!/danscribing" TARGET="_self"/><BR/><BR/>I've recently rededcated myself to practicing the writing life. Danscribing is a large part of this. You can be a part of it too! Come by and leave a comment, share a perspective, and reommend a link or video.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[...Halloween. This can be an interesting time for Christians. On the one hand there are no shortage of opinions as to how a Christian family should observe the day - if at all. On the other hand, there are probably even more Christians out there who have never even stopped to think about it.  What do you do?  Do you head to your local Church "Fall Festival" for some homemade carnival booths and candy? Do you head out to trick or treat your neighbors? Do you shy away from the spooky and talk about Reformation Day? Or do you avoid the latter part of October entirely and get an early start on Thanksgiving?<BR/><BR/>What are we doing, you ask? Well, tonight we are headed to the Denver Zoo for <I>Boo at the Zoo! </I>We will be bundled up, walking from candy station to candy station while keeping an eye out for nocturnal critters. Despite the fact that it will likely be somewhere in the 30's and 40's (better than Wednesday when we got about 8 inches of snow!) we are looking forward to it. We've got an awesome double stroller that is totally weather-proof for the girls to snuggle in if need be, and Alison and I like to wear winter clothes, so it should be all good.<BR/><BR/>But what about Halloween night? Honestly, I am not sure yet. But as long as you keep God at the center of your heart and mind at all times, any time can be redeemed!<BR/><BR/>Be safe.<br><br>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you are one of the many KLOVE listeners across the country, we would like to encourage you to support them financially and prayerfully right now. There are only two days left in their current pledge drive and they sincerely need your support.

Every day when we get in the car or tune into KLOVE online or on our Roku Box at home we are blessed, encouraged and motivated to be better ambassadors for Christ in our family and in the world. If you are a listener already, you know exactly what we mean. If you are not yet a listener, you need to be. You will be blessed.<BR/><BR/>So head over to <A HREF="http://www.klove.com/" TARGET="_self">KLOVE.com</A> to learn more about local stations, online listening options, and how you can help support the ministry. You can be an integral part of the KLOVE ministry which, with your help, is able to reach millions with the love and encouragement of Christ and His gospel.<BR/><BR/>Please prayerfully consider supporting KLOVE right now. And please let us know how KLOVE has touched your life in a "positive, encouraging" message" way. Comment below or send us a message through our contact page. Thanks!<br><br>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Alison here! I can't believe it's already mid-August--where on earth did the summer go?! The teacher in me is a little wistful at all the back-to-school sales going on. I miss shopping for supplies! I can't wait until our girls are old enough to need notebooks and things so I can justify taking them on a spree at Target or Office Max. :D Abby is already showing an affinity for such items; I foresee the need for a lot of storage space in her desk someday...<BR/><BR/>For those of you with a child enrolled in a Christian school, would you consider loaning your copy of <I>That's When I Talk to God</I> or <I>That's Where God Is</I> to the school librarian or your child's teacher? We'd love to see these books get into more schools where teachers can use them to jumpstart great conversations about prayer, what it means to have a relationship with God, and how God is always with us. It's so important to start those conversations at an early age--you know how we feel about that subject!<BR/><BR/>And you can always let teachers and librarians know that I'm available to Skype with classrooms if they'd like to give their students the chance to talk to an author about how to write books, get published, etc. I started writing stories in first grade and would have loved the chance to talk to a Real Live Author about writing books--I'd be thrilled to have the opportunity to provide young budding writers with that kind of encouragement. And if you have kids in high school, that offer stands for English classes as well. I actually had a high school teacher read one of my novels with her class when they talked about popular contemporary literature! <BR/><BR/>In the spirit of the new school year, I'll pose this question: Who was your favorite teacher and why? Leave a comment and your name will be added to the hat for the next free book drawing!<BR/><BR/><BR/><br><br>]]></content:encoded>

But stay tuned because we will be starting another one for the new book, <I>That's When I Talk To God</I>, soon.<BR/><BR/>2) Speaking of the new book, it's almost out!  In fact, it's already been spotted on the shelves despite the April 1 official release.  Lifeway Christian Stores has selected <I>That's When I Talk To God</I> as one of the Recommended Products!  We are honored and excited to see the book get out into as many hands as possible.<BR/><BR/>3) What's on the horizon?  If we can get our act together over here, in addition to some website tweaks we will also be putting up a Facebook Fan Page where you all can "Like" us, stay informed, tell us more about yourselves, and generally connect with us and other readers.<BR/><BR/>4) Last, but far from least, Alison and her father, Lee Strobel, recorded two shows for Focus on the Family Radio which will be airing April 14 and 15.  Be sure to tune into your local Focus on the Family station and hear what the two of them have to say about imparting a Biblical worldview to your children and sharing your faith with them.  If you can't tune in, you may be able to listen live or in an archive at <A HREF="http://www.focusonthefamily.com/radio.aspx" TARGET="_blank">Focus on the Family Radio</A>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[It's already December!  Can you believe it?  Things are always so busy this time of year - sometimes for good reasons and sometimes for, well, not so good reasons.  In all things, remember to always keep Christ at the beginning, middle and end of Christmas.  We are excited to report that Lisa H. may have one more gift taken care of this year as she is our newest winner of two copies of <I>That's Where God Is</I>.  From our correspondence so far, it sounds like she will put the books to great use.<BR/><BR/>If you have a good idea for how you would use an extra copy of our new children's book, <I>That's Where God Is, </I><A HREF="/the-contests.htm" TARGET="_self">let us know</A> and you will be entered in the drawing.  It's totally random and every one has a chance to take home a prize.<BR/><BR/>Word of mouth is one of the best ways to get a message across.  Folks naturally respond to the personal testimony and convictions of people they trust.  Because of this, we hope you will consider sharing our book with friends and family, in an effort to help us get the word out - God's Word! <BR/><BR/>Thank you all and God bless!<br><br>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The winner of our first monthly contest is Beth B.  Beth has two lovely daughters and another child on the way and she is looking forward to reading <I>That's Where God Is</I> to all of them.  Beth is going to donate her second copy to her church where she says it will "be the perfect book to read aloud during junior church, Sunday school or youth group."<BR/><BR/>What a great idea!  We hope that you, your girls and the children in your congregation are all blessed by the book and that God uses it to draw both children and parents closer to Him.  Keep us posted, please!  We would love to hear how it goes.  <BR/><BR/>We received a lot of great entries, and are looking forward to a bunch more.  If you didn't win this month, fear not - you are automatically entered into next month's drawing, and the one after that, and so one until you win or we run out of books!  And whether your name is chosen or not, if you already have your own copy of the book, please consider ways in which you might share it with the children (and parents) around you.<BR/><BR/>* all winners are chosen at random, usually by the hand of one of our own little girls.<br><br>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Once upon a time, Mr. Dan and Miss Ali were out for a drive. They started talking about random things, and Mr. Dan said, "You know, I had this idea that I think might make a cool children's book." Miss Ali is all about books, so she was excited to hear what Mr. Dan was thinking about. He told her about an image he had in his head of a boy sitting on his grandfather's lap, and how maybe the grandfather would answer any questions the boy had. So then they started thinking about what questions a boy might ask, and soon they had a pretty neat idea about the boy trying to find God in the world.<BR/><BR/>A few weeks later Mr. Dan gave Miss Ali some notes. "I've been thinking about that book, but I don't know how to start it. Any idea?"<BR/><BR/>Miss Ali took the notes and read them over. "I think I know how it could start. Let me take a stab at it." So she did, and soon they had a whole book, beginning, middle, and end, and thought a good title might be, "<I>That's Where God Is</I>."<BR/><BR/>It just so happened that Miss Ali had a writing agent, so they asked Mr. Don to please see if anyone might want to publish this book. He contacted Portland Studios and hired Mr. Cory to whip up a couple pictures to go with it. He did, and they all waited anxiously to see if anyone would like the book.<BR/><BR/>A month went by. Then another, and another. Mr. Dan and Miss Ali had a baby, and still they waited. "It's a great book," everyone would say, "but we're just not doing kids' books right now." They were all disappointed, but they didn't give up hope. Mr. Dan and Miss Ali just knew that the book was special, and that someday someone would snatch it up.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Don moved on from being an agent, and Miss Ali signed on with a new agent and had another baby. And then one day Mr. Don called and said, "Hey! Guess what? I'm working at David C. Publishing now, and they want your book!"<BR/><BR/>There was much rejoicing in the house of Mr. Dan and Miss Ali. And much more waiting to be done, because it takes a lot longer than you might think to put a book like this together. But then one day Mr. Dan and Miss Ali got the first copy of the book in the mail, and they knew all their prayers and patience had been worth it.<BR/><BR/>They hope *you* think they were worth it, too. <br><br>]]></content:encoded>
