Year End Celebration

Our home school group had a year end/graduation party at the beginning of June. It was a wonderful afternoon to celebrate everyone, and especially the graduates.

The children were all encouraged to bring along something that they had done, made, or studied during the past year. There were many projects, bug collections, lego creations, and even a hand carved chess set. Brent had been reading a book on science tricks and decided he wanted to do a magic show. We researched and experimented with quite a number until we finally settled on 3 that he was able to perform without fail.

When the MC called out that it was his turn he jumped up, pumped his arm and whisper-shouted "YES!" He was made for the stage. Not an ounce of fear. (I was a nervous wreck!)

He made a salt shaker disappear, read the mind of a graduate, and made an egg go into a bottle. Next time you see him ask him to show you!

15 Years Ago

OK, I'm a bit behind on my postings, but I still wanted to include this...at least my blogging is more up to date than my scrapbooking!

On May 29 Mark and I celebrated our 15th Anniversary. 15 years to testify of how God provides "more than we can ask or imagine" and how He remains to be "our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name. " (Ephesians 3:20 and Psalm 33:20)

Looking at these shots I don't think we've changed a bit...well, OK, Mark got bifocals...but other than that...
