Sign-language

We are learning sign-language!  Ever since I was a little kid and a friend's sister was hearing impaired, I have wanted to learn sign-language.  My friend taught me a little bit so that I could communicate with her little sister but really just the basics and it has been over 25 yrs ago so I really don't remember much.

Now that I am homeschooling, I have been looking for different subjects to teach my girls.  I really want them to be able to speak or converse in another language.  They have both been doing a Spanish curriculum on our "school"days at the church but I have had this nagging desire for us all to learn signing.  I found a wonderful curriculum online that is FREE! Yes, I said FREE, and we started today. 

I explained to my girls that to me sign-language is a language of love.  I am very excited about this and we have a goal of being able to sign the song "I Love You Lord" in church someday soon. Thank you Lord for giving us more than just our mouths to speak!
