May 2014-part 2

 

My favorite Spark leader! He is so good with the kids and Amanda loved having him for three years as a leader! Now it is Amelia's turn!

Last night as a Spark! Amanda graduates!

A very sad day was when Amelia graduated from CBS! This is the bible study we have attended for the past 2 years and while I am studying the bible with friends, she is in the most fabulous bible study for kids I have ever seen. My girlfriend had asked me to come for the past several years and I blew her off but so glad we started going because it has been so wonderful for both of us.

The children sing two times a year during a little performance for us! It was so nice to see.

Her teachers were so fabulous and just adored her and she loved them to. She loved going to CBS every Wednesday morning! She could do it this year since she went to PM preschool on Wednesdays.

Afterwards there was a reception for a lady who had served the children for 30 years. We stopped by before it started to say thanks but then had to run to preschool.

It is hard to see an end to things we enjoy! I am so grateful for all of those wonderful teachers who consistently love and serve my kids! We are blessed!

May 2014

May is always the busiest month of the year I think! Amanda had her choir concert!

Grandparent day at school!

We had the end of the year award ceremony for Awana. Amanda graduated from Sparks, and Amelia from cubbies!

Amelia was a ladybug at school and found some ladybugs at Awana and asked to take a picture! So fun!

This is one of our favorite singing groups called the "Bob-a-louies" we had sooo much fun singing with them at cubbies and sparks!

The awards ceremony!

 

LU Graduation Part 2

After the commencement we had a picnic on the baseball field since the thousands of people made it impossible to leave and we had the smaller actual graduation on campus that afternoon. So we ate, and explored campus. It was fun to remember all of my fond memories like it was yesterday and share them with my daughters! (They still can't believe I did some of the things I did!)

The girls loved the baseball field and ran bases!

Well, Amelia rode the bases!

I love the way the love each other! So sweet!

 

We visited Dr. Falwell's gravesite on campus. He died in the mansion behind it. I remember seeing him many times walking into his office in that mansion when I was there. What a legacy he has left behind!

His office.

The new library was amazing!

They are always building something new! Such an exciting place to be.

Amanda's favorite thing on campus!

I was there when they built this dome!

  The new library!

The new dorm where my nephew will be living!

 

 

The graduation for premed students.

  

   

   

 

My beautiful girl!

The prayer chapel was a place I spent a lot of time at LU. Praying for husband......praying to pass a class.....you name it I prayed about it! ha Fun memories!

We hitched a ride on the back of a golf cart to our car! ha

Party time!

 

The hedgehog came down to party to make an appearance.

Amelia had a blast singing, "Let it go" for all of the guests! She was so happy Jake the Jokester enjoyed her singing!

 

So sweet!

 

Love this pic!

 Amelia loves her uncle!

It was fun to worship at TRBC the next day. Love that church!

Yes, I took lots of pics of the way they do things in children's ministry to get ideas!

They gave the girls visitor bags which I thought was nice!

My sweet girls!

Three generations!

My greatest blessings!

The beautiful girls!

What a great time! I love my family and am soooooo proud of my niece!
