Helping at Home

Here is Anthony dusting the furniture downstairs with a duster.

Here he is using the swivel sweeper on the hardwoods.

Nathan, the little engineer, replacing a broken switch cover.

Lately the boys have taken an interest in chores and helping out the family. We looked for age-appropriate jobs for them to do and they are really enjoying contributing to the family workload. We appreciate all the hard work they are putting in on a regular basis and their allowance is showing it :) We are thankful to God for such great men-in-the-making.

Back to School 2010

Wow! Where did summer go??? It went somewhere really, really fast :) We have had (and are still having!) a wonderful summer, but the books are calling. We started school this week at home and went to our first Classical Conversations co-op this morning. Nathan is now in 3rd grade (wasn't he in preK last year?), Anthony has begun Kindergarten, and Noah is in K3. The boys are loving school and doing very well. We are looking forward to a great year living, laughing, and learning together. To God be the glory!

Race to Win! ODBC Summer Musical 2010

Anthony with the grand prize trophy :)

Nathan playing "drums" as part of the Garage Band :)

Mamaw even got to see the performances :)

This year's church summer musical was Race to Win. It was the first year Anthony could participate and he LOVED it - he even "played" drums on stage during the final performance. The theme was race car driving and the children learned to be sure whose race they were running - the world's or God's. It was a very clear presentation of God's grace and the music was awesome! We're so proud of our boys for all the hard work and thankful to Open Door Baptist Church who invests in the lives of children.
