Do Not Be Afraid

Posted June 22nd, 2009 by Mom | Comments (0)

C’s kindergarten Sunday School class has memory verses each month.  There are 3 levels to attain and C made it to level 3 yesterday.  (This is a VERY big deal, as my parents teach a 4th GRADE class and only 2 kids have made it to level 2!)

C’s memory verse was Joshua 1:6  “Be strong and courageous.”

C went up to Mr. Powell to say his memory verse and C said, “Joshua 1:6  Be strong and not scared.”

I thought this was precious.  I worked with C on this verse and asked him if he knew what the word courageous meant and he didn’t.  I explained it to him and it stuck.  I’m glad.  It is good that C is hiding God’s word in his heart and also understanding it.  Sweet boy!

For the past 4 years Jill and I have made each other birthday desserts.  She has made fudge pie for me and chocolate/peanut butter pie and a yummy chocolate chip pie this year.  Her birthday is today and this is her birthday cake from me.  Happy Birthday, my dear friend!  Enjoy!!

Sam's Cubicle

You’ve heard of people working in cubicles.  Well, Sam has his own, too!  He likes to stay under the built in desk in our kitchen.  It is out of the way, so he won’t get stepped on and he can see almost the entire kitchen from his hide-a-way.

Jared took this picture.

Also, just a little update on Sam – he likes, no let me change that – Sam LOVES cat food.  And FISH food…  How do I know this?  Early this morning the boys and I went to Walmart.  We didn’t have time to put away our purchases before heading to swimming lessons, so I unloaded the car and left the bags on the kitchen floor.  When we got home, the fish food was scattered ALL OVER the living room and the cat food paper bag was ripped open with cat food all over the kitchen floor.  Sorry, Tara.  Yes, you have leftover food that Sam didn’t have room in his fat stomach for.  Lesson learned for me!  I will put groceries away immediately upon arriving home.  Ugh!  Lessons are hard to learn sometimes!

Thanks Hildi for the new pictures!

These pictures are of Sam.  The pictures were taken at Sam’s visit to our home on Sunday morning, May 31, 2009.  Sam is now happily living with us.  We adopted him on June 5, 2009.

Swimming Lessons

Posted June 18th, 2009 by Mom | Comments (0)

Both boys are repeating level 2 of swim lessons.  They are doing GREAT this time!  J is willing to jump into the pool and is doing great floating.  C is swimming on his own, but having trouble moving his arms in a circular motion.  As for “dog paddling,”  C is king!

Here are some pictures taken today of the boys at swim lessons.  (*Note, they are in different classes and love to wave at each other.)
