Sinagua's Homecoming

Jordynn was asked to Sinagua's Homecoming dance by Tanner West.  It's a dressy dance, but not formal.  This is the group she went with.  A lot of great kids! She had a good time.

Mark took pictures of all of the kids on our back porch.

Dawson Merrick

Our family (with the exception of Hallie) attended Dawson's funeral services today.  Dawson lives just 3 houses down from us.  He recently turned 10 years old.  He passed away from a rare form of Leukemia. The services were very touching.  I am amazed at the community support and the support shown from Knoles Elementary school as well.  For months many families have pulled together in an effort to raise money for Dawson's medical expenses.  In addition many have been praying for Dawson and showing continuous support to the Merrick family.  There was a reception after the services at Knoles.  The donations made for that itself were unbelievable.  My heart was truly filled with gratitude for such good people and wonderful neighbors.

Preschool

Several ladies and I are doing a Preschool for our 3 and 4 year old children.  We are doing it 2 days a week and we rotate weeks.  It was my turn this week.  We did the letter 'A'.  This week we learned about the sound of the letter from 'Baby a', we had fun singing the 'Ants go Marching One by One' and making these red ants.  We also had fun with apples and Astronauts! It sure brought back a lot a fun memories when Tracie and I knew little else then Preschool!
