Lego Ladies

M recently built a pretty cool snowman all by herself.

And she and mama built their first Lego project together: "A Spring Scene".

Awana Grand Prix

The kids participated in the Grand Prix for the first time this year. They designed and created their cars from a block of wood, and then had a grand time at the races which were held at church. They each came first in a couple of the races, which was cause for much excitement in the ranks.

A new year!

What? How did those two months just fly by? Thankfully we're able to get a post in before the first quarter of the year is over.

These last couple months have been quite busy, with a bunch of ups and downs. Let's try to get this blog caught up a bit.

The kids running a church service at home on of the Sundays we couldn't get to church. This is the "praise & worship" part, with some imagination added.

M got a magic mixer for Christmas. One evening she whipped up some brownies with that, and with mama's help set up a good 'ol English Tea Party for the family.

  

The kiddos entertaining themselves.

And in Jan Yo started taking the bus home from school. Big step!
