Mother's Day 2010

All I can say is this....I am the luckiest woman alive.

Wildcats

We are humbled to announce that Michael will be joining his 4 sisters at Metcalf School next fall. He will enter 3rd grade with his twin sister Ella.
God has answered the persistant prayers of many people who came together to lift this need up to Him.
This is yet another example of how prayer truly does work!! We continue to be amazed at all that God does for our family!
Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Proverbs 19:21

"G-Slide"

Show and Tell..Uncle Tim Style

Uncle Tim comes to show Emmy's kindergarten friends the recycling truck (I just happened to be subbing on this day!)
He is so good to her!!!!


Uncle Tim shows the crowd "the crusher"-this got a lot of ooohs and aahhhs!

Emmy got to get up in front of her class and announce that her Uncle Tim was coming for show and tell. She was so proud!! She also informed her class that they didn't need to ask me any questions because her Uncle Tim was the one who knew the answers...not her Mom.


The kids asking questions about what a landfill looks like, where the recycling goes after it is picked up, what can be recycled, etc. One of the little guys recognized Tim from his residential service pick up at home-it was so cute!!






Earth Day












Earth Day is a big deal at school! This year the weather was perfect for the outdoor program!! Each grade, kindergarten through second, performed a few songs and chants in the Butterfly Garden on this special afternoon. Walking on the ISU quad with 40 kindergarteners chanting "Go Green!" was also a lot of fun:)
