Keith's Graduation...2011

We celebrated Keith's highschool graduation yesterday with a few family members and lots of great friends. 

What a wonderful day it was to celebrate Keith and all of his accomplishments.

We have homeschooled for eleven great and also hard years.  It was so worth it!



Congrats, Keith, you made it!


Homeschooling truly is a family affair.


Dad gives Keith his well deserved diploma.


Me, the teacher, Keith, the student, and dad, the principal.

Three great men right here.  Dad, Keith and Uncle Ronnie



This was the largest homeschool graduating class we have ever had and this was a great group of young people!

Thanks to those who were able to be with us on this fabulous day.

So many of our family were unable to attend and they were greatly missed.

For those of you who have prayed for us through these school years, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A Sweet Note

 

My oldest (being my husband) and my youngest (my daughter) had to leave tonight to go to see my husband’s father in the hospital.  They will be gone a few nights.

I always get a little weepy when any of my family members leave even if its just for a short while.  I miss them when they are gone…especially at bedtime.

Tonight when I was going to bed, I saw what my little girl had left for me lying on my pillow. 

This is Pinky…

Pinky was holding a note that I was supposed to read at bedtime. 

I have to share what it said because it means so much to me.

It says…

Mommy:  Remember to look on your bedside table and to remember that I Faith am always here for you!!!!

(on the bedside table was this photo that Faith put there)

The rest of the note says…

Help yourself to remember that you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.  I love you.

From Faith

***

What a sweet message from my little one.  The wonderful thing about this note is that every night when Faith and I pray, we pray this verse from the Bible.  We also pray that with God all things are possible.

We won’t be together tonight to pray, but we both get it.  We both understand that it is through Christ that we can do anything and that in just a couple of days, we will be saying prayers together again, side by side.

Go Team Go!!

Faith is getting to use her gift of encouragement in the Upward Basketball Program at a local church in our community.

It’s a great program for our children!

The awesome thing is that the cheerleaders are cheering for both teams.  They are not supporting just one, but both.

Faith is a natural!

She loves it!

Of course, I love watching her!

Modest cheerleading outfits!  Isn’t it wonderful?

Big (for us) Snow Day

What a wonderful, beautiful snow day we had today.

Let the pictures speak for themselves…

We had about 5-6 inches of snow that fell through the night last night.  You have to understand that we never have this much snow.  Needless to say, we were all thrilled!

 

Thank you God for the beautiful snow.  Thank you God for time with family.
