End of the Year Awards


We are so proud of John Jr and Elizabeth. They both received four awards. They both stayed on the honor roll for the entire year, both making straight A's this nine weeks as well as being recognized for their efforts in jogging club.

John was selected by the guidance department for being the most outstanding citizen for the entire year! What an honor!

Mother's Day

Elizabeth decorated this cake for me for Mother's Day! All of the children surprised me with breakfast in bed. They made the food in the shape of a smiley face. We are so blessed by our children!

WALK A MILE IN THEIR SHOES 2007

Brooks, John Jr, and I , along with some of our friends participated in a fundraiser for the homeless shelter. We walked the streets where our homeless live and took a tour of the facility as well as learned about the services offered there. It was a great experience and we hope to do it every year.

TOOTHLESS




E has lost both of her front teeth. Last week she swallowed one. We wrote the tooth fairy a letter of explanation and all was well again.

Congratulations to THE PLUNGERS!





DO WE LOOK COLD?

Putting on a side show for everyone during breakfast at the athletic center.

Ben thought about taking the plunge but did not really feel the need to freeze!


Elizabeth was the brave one and took the annual Polar Plunge. The water was only 56 degrees
