Travis' wall is fantastic!


Isaac, always prepared and always brilliant, decided to build the pearl gates of the wall of new Jerusalem. He cut the foam board with his Leatherman and then placed jewels in the pearls to make a sparkling gate.


Melissa's street of gold is beautiful with real ridges.


Chris is always pinch hitting for us. Today I came late and Donna had to leave right away to tend to Grace. Chris jumped in and started cutting -- he even calculated and measured! Thanks Chris!


Now that I look at this picture I realize that Isaac could have cut his finger off. He was holding the foam board and cutting with his sharp Leatherman. Amazing what you miss when you're not focusing.



Dr. Lynnea, scientist supreme, had us dissect diapers today. Hopefully she'll email me the scientific explanation!



Noah was very proud of his piece of the wall of New Jerusalem.


Yes, I know he didn't even come to CC today because his big sister Grace was sick, but this is a picture from Sunday, and let's face it, Caleb Henry is just too precious to not show his picture.
Beauty is defined in so many ways. One that must please God is teaching his word in a loving manner. Here Christine is huddled with her sweet class and reading a book that corresponds to our science sentence on oceans.

Amanda and Kyle became very creative with their wall of New Jerusalem.

Evan's wall was outstanding! Good job Evan!


Nathan has a beautiful street in New Jerusalem!

Stephanie and Jordan show off their walls!


Stephanie is so beautiful!

Amanda's page

Amanda requests her own page each week. She is always willing to pose for her page. Be sure to leave comments for Amanda!



Grace is the new big sister! She's the best big sister ever!



Brian did a great job in art today!



Chris, the tall guy, is Noah's dad. He not only helps with CC but he does a remarkable job cleaning each week. Thank you Chris! Pastor Jimmy always defers my gratitude for allowing to use this facility by explaining that this is God's building. So, Pastor Jimmy graciously allows us to use the building God entrusted to him. Thank you Pastor Jimmy.


Madison is truly a princess.


Game time during lunch!


Jill, a professional ballet instructor and her son Justin taught us ballet in Muscles in Motion this afternoon. We sashayed, jumped and twirled.


Jack's ballet moves are inspirational.


Pammy's head nearly hit the ceiling!


Brian was quite proud of his ballet moves. Jill will have to add the correct grammar so I don't mess it up too badly!

Justin is trying out the balance board.

Memma Shebby, aka Shelley, Boaz's Grandmother, sent a balance board and big feet for Muscles in Motion and Jack's birthday. This was incredibly kind of Mebba Shebby, but there is something so much greater to this. You see, Memma Shebby is Boaz's birth grandmother. His Birthmom, Melissa, is a beautiful woman who loves God. Melissa felt God's calling to give Kim and Steve Boaz through adoption. We didn't realize at the time, but it was God grafting our families together. God has made an extended family that now blesses each of our children. All of our children love Bo's birthmom and her family and Bo will always know that he was treasured, is treasured and will always be treasured by his whole family. I should have a picture of Bo here but I'm not a great blogger yet, so click on Boaz for the biggest brown eyes and cutest smile ever.




Kristin joined us to teach Rhythmic Writing today. She taught in groups of three. Great job Kristin!



Here's Pammy helping with Anna! Pammy is Anna's fourth mom!



Grace with the monster feet!!! AAAAAKKKKKK!!!!


Thanks Memma Shebby -- Brian.
Grace and Ella are wonderful friends.

This is Helena, she made the paper camera for her little sister Bea that was posted earlier. What a great sister!



Jordan worked very hard on her el Greco. Great job Jordan!



Pammy is so beautiful. She helps with our littlest ones each week and blesses moms by keeping an eye on speedy two-year-olds. Thanks Pammy.


Check out these neck wrinkles. Are they not kissable beyond belief?

Donna glows when she holds Caleb. Lack of sleep? Who needs sleep when you can spend all night kissing little ears and neck wrinkles?


All of the other moms took turns admiring Caleb. Michelle is definitely an Auntie -- someone loves him dearly and who intends to spoil him rotten.
