Brian!

We made blood today.  Karo Syrup plasma, mini marshmellow white blood cells, red hot red blood cells and a ziploc bag cell membrane.

Griffin LOVES Essentials!

Essentially, musical chairs.  Just to the tune of the eight parts of speech.

Caleb and his mom shared a special moment as Cindy massaged him.  Cindy blessed Donna with Caleb's SECOND only full night's sleep.  God gave Cindy a beautiful gift and she blesses us with it each week.

Grace using the Essentials Mic.  Who would want to read their paper without one?

These are three of my favorite pictures of Griffin.  God brought her here and we love her and her mom so much.  Griffin had never had a friend before and now she has so many who call her friend.

Caleb, Douglas and Grace enjoying the beach of Pompii.  

Thomas, the black cloud and Bo, the hot ash rain down on the wealthy beach goers.

Princess Lava, aka Griffin made quite the statement in her red veil.

That's Thomas BlackCloud and Boaz VolcanicAsh waiting for their turn.

Ok, Grammy bought Anna this outfit and I just thought she looked too adorable not to post it.

Grammy and Grampy brought Grace on a Greek Cruise.  She came back just in time to tell us about her walk through Pompeii.

We pray for Tammy, Scott and Luke each week.  We pray that Tammy's Tuesdays will be blanketed with love from God and that Luke will theirs in a way only orchestrated by God.

Sarah Kate is thinking inside of the box today.  Something quite unusual at our CC.  We are shipping as many boxes as we can to Boaz's birthomother's husband -- complicated, I know -- who is stationed in Afghanistan.  We won't ship Sarah Kate though, she's way too cute.

Always creative Lisandrea wrote out Henry in clay.  Get it?  Henry Clay drafted the Missouri Compromise?

Cassandra sang the song while the other children acted out the Missouri Compromise.

Oh Miss Cy, even I'm getting ill looking at you digesting Owen's whole bag of mush.
