I promised pics of the birthday gifts I received last Sunday on my birthday! My gifts from J. At the top is a "spear" like the one he made in church that morning when he learned about David and King Saul. He made me one so we could have spearing contests. The first time out, he got me right in the throat. My advise is never to mess with J in a spearing battle!! The hand he also made in church. It lists all of the things important to him.  My gifts from the gwins- a complete handmade jewelry set, including necklace, bracelet, anklet, ring, and earrings.  My gifts from the bwins- an American flag, a book, a soccer notepad and pencil, a drawstring bag, a cross necklace made at KidsFest, and El's "first timer" award for obedience in Sunday School. They also gave me a little stuffed bear that was absent in the picture.  "Child of my Heart" statue from my parents. My mom also took me shopping.  This is me with the cake that H made. It is a homemade chocolate cake! It was delicious!! (I'm also wearing the jewelry from the gwins and necklace from the bwins.)  For all of you who are waiting for THE NEWS, I should be able to post something this week. |
First of all Happy Birthday. I am just getting caught up on my blog reading. I know that must have been hard for you letting the kids go to public school. I am sure they will make friends quickly. I wish your family all the best.
