Knitting Fever.

So, my kids love camps and learning anything as long as they can go somewhere and do it.  Lily often asks me, "is there such thing as ______ lessons?"  Fill in with hool-a-hoop, skating, trampoline, anything she can think of.

So I wasn't surprised when Lily wanted to go to a sewing camp and Ian said he would be interested in knitting classes.  So Ian had his class last night.  I dropped him off for his 3 hours of knitting and he was the only student.  Rob and I sat at home a little worried about how he was doing and how bored he was.  So I got there a little early to rescue him.  Little did I know....

He LOVED it!  And when I say LOVED.... that's an understatement.  He said he had the best time and he wanted to go back next month to learn more.  He asked to get up before 6am so he would have time to knit before basketball camp.  I've never seen him so excited about anything.  It was crazy.  So... he's working on a scarf and I'll post a finished picture in a couple of weeks.  By the way, his is doing WAY better than me in my 1st 3 hours.  His actually look like my 10th month. :)

Forts and Sunflowers

New fun game that lasts for hours!  The ole tried and true "couch fort"!  I loved it, they love it. 

 My parents tried to send a picture of their sunflowers...they didn't even have any blooms!!!  Sad, sad.  So this is for them in response to their little picture.

Happy 15th!

Although we aren't together in any of these....it was, indeed, mine and Rob's 15th Anniversary.  We decided to celebrate family style.  We had a great time and plan on returning and cheering on the Biscuits this Summer.  We had to wear our St. Louis gear this time....but I stocked up on Montgomery shirts for next time.

Test it out

Just doing a little iPad posting...

Yesterday on Ian's last day of school, they gave out certificates.  It was really special.  It wasn't for academic excellence, but for Christian Characters.  All around the school, teachers were calling each student, one at a time, to the front, in front of their peers and parents.  They had picked a personality character that the student developed or showed throughout the school year.  Then one parent would pray for their child.  Ian's character trait was Corporative.  

Romans 15:5

 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mindtoward each other that Christ Jesus had, ⁶ so that with one mind and one voice you may glorifythe God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Last Day of School

I'm so excited!  Ian has had a great year.  I'm thankful for God's guidance to us to put him at Cornerstone this year.  Although I was sad, it was the right thing for Ian.  He had made so much progress.  Who knew I was so mean and a horrible teacher?  Well, I did... but I did love trying it.  I think God would have grown us into something better, but Ian loved meeting and being with his new friends in a classroom.  

This is a teacher's gift I did for Mrs. Weaver.  I found the idea on the greatest invention ever made....Pinterest.

I'm a Knitter, now!

And this shirt proves it.
