This semester, I had the blessing of helping in the ASL class.  This is not the entire group but this is a picture of those who attended the ASL Fellowship.  Such a fun group of friends!!!

Deaf Ladies' Bible Study

I LOVE these Ladybugs!!!  We just finished this semester's Bible study - Proverbs 31 Woman...It was a wonderful time of fun, fellowship,and studying of God's Word.  I am aleady looking forward to our study in the Fall.  Thank You, Lord, for sweet sisters in Christ!!!

 I woke to a beautiful bouqet of roses, cards from Glen and the children, chocolate covered strawberries, and a gift card for a massage, facial, and pedicure!!  WHOO HOO!!

 My four precious blessings!!!  Children truly are gifts from the Lord.

The Man who blesses me everyday of his life!!

Azaryah's AWANA Awards

 We are so proud of our Little Man.  This year, he completed his 2nd Cubbie book - learning and reciting 30 verses.  Miss Rachel was so sweet.  Azaryah will miss her next year when he moves up to Sparks.

Keziah's Lego Creation

Keziah made this piano out of Legos this morning...Very creative!!!

Story Time at the Cabin

Another fun fieldtrip...Storytime at the cabin.  The Historical Society has done a great job recreating what it would have been like to be a pioneer.  The cabin is full of antiques and gives the children an idea of what pioneer life would have been like.

Field Trip to Daddy's Work

 After the One Room School House, we headed over to Glen's work for a look at modern-day equipment and to learn how filters are made.  It was a very interesting fieldtrip for me...I have been married to Glen for 20 years and I did not understand everything that he did during the day ;-)

 Everyone wore safety glasses and followed all safety rules...Glen was a great guide!

 The children got to look at filters under a microscope...They loved that.

To conclude our trip, Glen provided a snack for the children...Gluten-free cookies and juice with no dyes!! WHOO HOO!!!

One Room School House

 Our city Historical Society does a great job preserving the historical sites in this area and then opening them to the public.  Last week, we had a wonderful fieldtrip to the One Room School House here in town.  The day began with a little history of the area, choosing penefoils for the girls and suspenders for the boys, and getting a lunch pail to put our old fashion lunch into...

 The children lined up and listened for the school bell to ring...

 Miss Ream welcomed us and got everyone seated...

 The children traveled back 100 years...The date was April 28, 1911...

 Everyone had their own work to complete.  The class started at 8:30 and we finished with a Spelling Bee at 1:00.  The children were given homework to do during that time...Even Azaryah had work to do.

The boys were the first to sit with Miss Reams...The worked on reading, history, math, and spelling...

 The girls also had their turn...So cute!!  When their lesson was complete, Miss Ream would say, "Children, you may rise...You may be dismissed."  Then they would walk quietly to their seats!!

 The children wrote on slates as well as with ink and a quill...

 Lunch was homemade bread, cheese, a slice of ham, apples, and water...

The Class of 1911...Such a fun day!!!!!
