Bible Awards, Spelling Bee, and Thanksgiving Feasts

This week was full of kid stuff :)

Spiritual: Being the end of the first quarter of school, all three of my kids were awarded with Bible Awards. I love that my kids attend a Christian school and that Bible is a part of their regular curriculum. Can't beat "hiding God's Word in their hearts"! I pray that as they study God Word and commit different verses into their memory banks, they would gain the knowledge needed to have wisdom.





Academic: On Tuesday, Isaac represented his 4th grade class in the School Spelling Bee. On Wednesday, Abby represented her 1st grade class in the Bee. I am thankful for the skills that they are learning in school and that they are doing so well! Abby is the alternate and Isaac is the second alternate to the District Spelling Bee for their grades, in January. I pray that they will continue to develop good study skills and work hard in everything... as unto the Lord!


Abby, next to Emily & Audrey... waiting their turn to spell :)


Isaac... calm, cool, and collected!


Social: Wednesday and Thursday, each of the three classes celebrated Thanksgiving! It is fun for me to see how they interact with their friends in non-structured settings. I pray that Isaac, Seth, and Abby will continue to exercise wisdom in choosing good friends. May they always consider others as more important than themselves... even at play :)








Cute little Indian girls and sweet little Pilgrim girls :)


Just a quick glimpse of the School Spelling Bee... this was the practice round. We are not allowed to take pictures or videos for the real thing :)

Alice (and Matthew), you are doing such a great job with your children. I know you are proud of them, but I'm sure your extended family is proud of YOU. I am! Way to go in training up your children.......
