End of May

We finished up May with a bit more school for Gabe...since he was a year ahead of where he needs to be, I freely skipped school days for him more than just a few times.  We'll be working for at least another month to finish up, but since he takes about a half hour for his school each day, it's not so bad.

Here he was on the time chapter in math and we made a cookie clock...not too bad for having to do school while his brothers were done with their school year!

The kids all finished up with Awana this month also.  Unfortunately their Daddy was still overseas, so he missed the ceremony.  The kids were all so excited to get their awards.

Anna loves when she is big enough to do the things her big brothers and big sister do.

Leah and Gabriel both were so excited that they ran up to the stage to get their awards!

Matthew finished his final Sparks book and gets to move on to the T&T (Truth & Training) group next year, which is the group Christopher will still be in also.

Christopher had a couple more challenges left in his T&T book from last year, so he had to finish that up this year, and then he worked super hard so he could finish the book for this year as well.  There are so many long Bible verses to memorize in T&T, but he did great and I'm so glad that they have all of these verses in their hearts now.

Psalm 119:11  I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

I am so appreciative for the wonderful volunteers who give their time and love to run this program for children.  I highly recommend an Awana program if you have one nearby.

Here's several videos of the singing portion of the ceremony...so cute!  (I apologize for the sometimes blurry video taping.)

"Love thy neighbor."

Gabe picked a long verse and although he knew it, he ended up reading it straight from his paper instead of from his heart.  Silly boy.

Have a great week!
