1st Day of "Summer"

















Today was the final day of school! Eric turned on the sprinkler in the front yard and before I knew it, Eli was running through it with all of his clothes on. So, the boys turned the mundane job of watering the lawn into a celebration of the first day of summer...even though that is not officially for another month. Poor Sam's lips were pure blue by the time he was finished. He is warming up right now in a bath of warm water while Cade and Eli are in the backyard playing ball.

Yesterday, Cade got a very prestigious award. He got the "Crown" award at his school...only one first grade boy receives this. It stands for:
C Character
R Responsibility
O Obedience
W Wisdom
N Noteable
Eric and I are so proud of him. We told him to give thanks to God for giving him the ability to learn and do things well. He told us he gave God the credit by pointing his finger to the sky after he got the award. Cute.
