Confirmation

Evangeline had been going to confirmation classes for months.  It was a real time commitment, but something she really enjoyed.  She got to ask questions and learn about her faith.  She also got to meet a Chinese missionary.  Her confirmation group got to have a few Zoom meetings with the missionary, Angie, along with Buddhist monks.  In January Evangeline was confirmed into the United Methodist Church and also became a member of First United Methodist Church of Marshall.  We are so proud of her and her commitment to a life with Christ. 

Evangeline's part in the service was to talk about Angie, the Chinese missionary.  She did a great job. 

Afterward we went to Richard's Farm for lunch.  I gave Evangeline the necklace my grandparents gave me when I was confirmed.  It's a little gold heart. 

Peggy and Reid gave her a really pretty rose in a glass dome.  It's inspired by Beauty and the Beast.  Evangeline loved it!

School Holiday Fun

South School is a really exciting place around the holidays!  We had different dress up days all the week leading up to Christmas break.  Here we are on holiday accessory day!  One day the week leading up to break, our principal, Mrs. Morgan found me in the hallway and told me I needed to drop everything and report to the office.  When I got there I found the rest of the 1st grade teachers there too!  She told us she was taking us on a little getaway.  We boarded the school's short bus where Christmas music was blaring and were driven to McDonalds to get whatever drink we wanted.  While we were gone she had aides covering our classrooms.  It was such a fun surprise.  She told us how much she appreciates all we have done during this super challenging school year, and this was just a little something special.  Evangeline participated in the locker decorating contest.  She had such fun bringing her supplies and getting it done during h...

Cozy at Home

Snow day painting...dreaming of all the flowers in my garden....I have a bunch of old frames so I'm putting a collage of my painted flowers in my bathroom.  It's a cheery touch.  I pulled out some of my old cozy knits I did years ago.  Evangeline loved them!  Pickles did too.  Jed had to join in the fun sporting a toddler sweater...I'm glad they both appreciate those kinds of things...

Down Time

Evangeline was chomping at the bit to use some of her money to go buy a case for her new phone.  We went to TH to look around and then made a stop at Starbucks.  Evangeline felt like a big kid.  We had a fun girls outing.  She wanted to sit inside Starbucks and cuddle on a couch drinking our beverages together.  It was a special moment for me too.  This girl is growing up into such a delightful young lady.   We tried real hard to give our money to an actual shop to purchase the case, but no one had anything that would work.  We ended up resorting to Amazon.  She was really pleased when her sparkly pink case with a heart shaped pop socket arrived in the mail.  The rest of the week was spent lounging around doing all the things we love to do at home.  My nephew's, Cale and Liam came for a sleepover.  We all had so much fun with them!  Jed was of course in his happy place with Cale there to play with.  Evangeline an...
