All E's and All A's

I am very proud of both Caleb and Callie Grace.  They made all E's/A's for the 9 weeks.  They have both tried their best.  Caleb has worked on his reading and writing (writing is still a work in progress).  Callie Grace has so many tests on Mondays, papers and presentations.  Her science tests are generally 4-5 questions so if she misses just one, the grade can be rather low.

Lots of prayer and hard work has gone into this 9 weeks.  Even if they hadn't gotten all E's/A's, I would have been proud because I know that they put the time in to their schoolwork.

The greatest part of it all is that they are proud of themselves!  Yay, Callie Grace and Caleb!!

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Psalm 139:14

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

Thank you, Jesus for these babies that have just gotten their baths, have their pjs on and are ready for bed.  Thank you for their silliness.  Thank you for their hugs and kisses.  Thank you for the love that they give their mama.  

Tonight found me tired and with a headache that was unbearable. I am filled with questions and heartache from a phone conversation earlier today.  I have no answers but I am thankful I know The One who does.

Here are my silly 9 and 8 year old children.

Creating recipes and cooking with daddy

Callie Grace wants to enter a cooking contest through school.  She and her dad decided to go to the grocery store on Saturday and cook their creation.  It was delicious!  The theme is a healthy breakfast item.

They cooked turkey sausage and mushrooms.  They took plain bagels, cut them in half and emptied out the bread filling.  They then stuffed the bagel with turkey sausage, mushrooms and cheese.  Here is their creation.  They had a lot of fun together!

CG was super proud!

Dear Lord,

Please put a hedge of protection around my family.  Please help us grow closer to You, praising You for our many blessings.  Help us to remember that we are Your hands and feet.  Help us look for opportunities to help others.  Help me be a more intentional person, wife and mother.  Help me be thankful.  Give us clarity and have us do Your will.

In all these things, I pray,
Katherine
