Wrapping up spring

My current project: trying entrelac tunisian crochet, making a big tote bag.  It's really fun, and time-consuming, but actually a lot easier than it looks.

Tuesday evening, we went to DQ after Caeden's guitar lesson. The youth group was having a fundraiser there, and DQ gave a portion of sales towards the youth trips this summer.  It was fun to see about 30-40 people from church there!

Sylvia took selfies in the car on the way home so she could play with my Pic-Tap-Go app.


Today was the last full day of school for the kids!  (They will go back Friday morning for a half day.)

This kid hopped up on my bed this morning and stole my phone for a minute.

Annah brought home all her folders and notebooks.  I'd say she learned a lot this year!

8th grade promotion was this evening.  Sylvia is the top student in her class academically, so she was one of two 7th grade honor marshals who led the 8th graders in and out of the ceremony, and helped them down from the stage as they received awards.

We are super proud of our Sylvia Claire!!!  She is such a hard worker, detailed organizer, creative thinker, and kind heart.  

7th grade has been trying for her socially/relationally, but she is finishing this school year with joy.  I am so thankful!  
One day this week, a teacher pulled Sylvia aside for a moment and told her that a girl in her class gave a speech about the "wisest person she knows," and it was all about Sylvia! That was a beautiful blessing from the Lord!!!
I think one of the most important lessons Sylvia has learned is that being kind even [and especially] when others aren't showing her kindness will always be the best option. I am so proud of the way she shines the light and love of Jesus.

Had to take a picture of these pretty friends as they chatted in the hall after the ceremony...
