American Heritage Girls - Crossing Over Ceremony

We are so proud of Claire and Camdyn and their first few months as American Heritage Girls! Both girls successfully completed their badge work for the Cycling and Aviation badges. They also earned their Joining Awards!

Here are some pictures from the girls at their Crossing Over Ceremony. Nate pinned the girls' awards on them and they officially moved to the next AHG level. Camdyn will be a Tenderheart with 1st - 3rd grade girls and Claire will be an Explorer with the 4th - 6th grade girls in the fall!

Way to go girls!
We are so proud of you!

School Room..shaping up!

My sister, Cayce came over this week to spend the night :) and we held our first homeschool planning retreat! YAY! She helped me get all of our curriculum into my online organizer, plan out the materials I needed, went with me to get the materials and supplies and then helped me get our school room organized and set up! I am so thankful for her expertise and most importantly her patience and love in helping me get started on this new road!
We've still got a few projects to work on: hanging bulletin boards, refinishing an old table to use as our work space, and getting a few more materials organized but we are making progress!

SCS Drama Play 2012

Claire and Camdyn finished their drama class at Southside Christian School with their Spring Play called, The Kingdom. The play was a salvation allegory. Claire was a narrator and teacher and Camdyn was a princess. After the play, they performed a song to sign language wearing only white gloves and with a black light it was so moving to watch their little hands worship God is such a sweet way. This drama class has been such a blessing to our girls and we are so thankful for the skills they have learned this year! We are so proud of you girls!

Kingsport Gray! Love!!

Oh, I am so thankful the yellow paint is gone!!! :) We love the new grayish/brown tones of Kingsport Gray in our laundry room, school room, foyer, den, and loft upstairs! YAY! This new color really makes our house feel more modern and crisp!

Claire's Braces!!

Claire recently got braces on her top six teeth! She is going great and hasn't really missed gum and sticky candy!! :) They make her look much older....sniff sniff.....
Thanks so much to Dr. Watson at Palmetto Family Orthodontics for taking such good care of her!

Spring Volleyball

Up in the Air!!

Claire and Cam recently joined American Heritage Girls! Their first goal was to earn their joining award and the Aviation Badge. To culminate their badge work, they both got to fly in an airplane!!!! Here are some pictures from that day and at a troop meeting learning to fold the flag.
