A neglected event

I completely forgot to post this picture (and event). On Easter, Cole was playing and hit his tooth a little looser than it had been. I helped him pull it out a few days later. It was a big event, and the day the first tooth falls out, the kids instantly become more grown-up looking. That well known fairy also bought him a silver dollar.

Angel Babies Walk

Saturday our family participated in the Hinds Hospice Angel Babies walk/run. We trekked around Woodward Park walking in the 2 mile walk followed by the kid's run. This year my friend Christa started a group called Caleb's Cruisers in honor of her son (he died of SIDS at three days old) and we were on the team. It was so special seeing families love and miss their babies in such a sweet way.

AWANA Grand Prix

Last Wednesday the kids participated in the Grand Prix. They each worked on their cars, sanding them and painting them (Q painted the bottom of his because that was where he chose to paint). We had a fabulous evening, and even though none of the kids won for speed, they left smiling. Quentin's car won 4th place for the design of his (over 100 cars).

Open House (part 2)

Avery's school also had Open House. They have been working on sea life, so the room was decorated with jelly fish, sea urchins, and their ocean reports. Avery has loved Mrs. Dooley (I'm convinced that so far, our kids have had the best teachers in their schools). Avery proudly showed off her room, her friends, and the wonderful things she has learned in 3rd grade.
