Winding down....School will be out soon.

The school year is drawing to a close and summer is upon us....my where has this school year gone? Almost JUNE already...seems like Christmas was only maybe a month ago....WHEW!!!

What a day it has been. It was beautiful this morning. The sun peeked out a few times, and I went to the school and surprised Breanna and Samuel and had lunch with them. They went outside to play after having SOL testing all morning, and I went home. It wasn't long before they came home..and then it clouded up (looked like nighttime...and it was only 3:30pm). Norm called me and told me the weather where he works was looking really nasty and he was on his way home. Mentioned that he had seen some hail and that we should watch out. I sent the kids to grab the larger items out of the pool, and told them to hurry. They weren't in the house two minutes and the bottom fell out of the sky. We had pea sized hail and it rained for about an hour...then all cleared out. The sun came out and everyone jumped in the pool for a bit (mostly to clean it out.)...LOL...Strange...Very Strange...


A little while ago, my beautiful daughter was chosen as a representative for her grade level to have some art she created put in the local school district's art show. We were very pleased. She chose and did her project all by herself. Day before yesterday we were invited to school for her to receive her award certificate for her work. She was even brave enough to lead the audience in the "Pledge of Alegiance" before the ceremony began. Pictured in her layout are her art teacher and assistant principal.





This is Breanna and her teacher. She has worked wonders with Breanna this year, and is expecting a new little bundle as well. Hope you make it until the end of the school year!



This is Samuel and his teacher. She has just done a wonderful job with Samuel. He is blossoming daily. It has been a pleasure working with her this year to benefit Samuel.





This of course is Jordan. He started the year somewhat withdrawn, and unsure of what was going to take place, after transferring to a new school. But his amazing teacher has encouraged him to come out of his shell, and he is becoming quite the little chatter box. He is sounding out words, and beginning to read...I am just shocked. I can't wait to see what he is going to accomplish next.





And last but not least Jadan. He has found his independance this year. He seems to experiment doing different things and seeing what effect they are going to have. He is very smart...sometimes too smart for his own good. He hasn't quite picked up on the reading like Jordan, but if you slow him down and have him sound it out...he gets it. He is currently into more of the mischevious stuff: Putting rocks in the pool, in his lunch box, in the ornamental pond in our back yard, and several other things...the list is too long to add on here ...LOL.
