Kamryn's new prayer

When praying together often, I will say "thank you God for bringing Kamryn into our lives." She heard me say that this morning and here is her response:

She only knows this because

she climbs into bed with us almost every night!

My mom was babysitting her one night, and I don't remember how this came up, but Kamryn told my mom the following:

Easter Blessings

My family celebrating at church in the morning. Praying the kids really understand what "He is Risen" means for all of us. The Easter egg hunt with the kids and their cousins in the afternoon. Spending time with my mom, dad, sister and her family and Aunt B. Bravely trying a new recipe that was luckily very yummy:) A big blessing indeed:)

Brendan's Civil War Days

The whole fifth grade class did a unit on the Civil War. It concluded with a music program at school and then a classroom tour of each student's "masterpieces."











Brendan actually chiseled this bar of soap! Looks pretty cool! His cereal box was one of the best I think too (if I don't say so myself). It was all his idea although his dad did help him a bit on the cereal box project.

Brendan had his own fan club there that night. Grandma and Aunt Bernice came with us. We all enjoyed the American music and seeing all of Brendan's work. We are so proud of him!
