~Our first day of School~

We had a great first day of school today! My Sarah LOVES balloons, so Phillip helped me blow up a lot of balloons last night and we put them all over the dinning room. The Lord helped Elijah and I to have a good night, and I was able to get up early and make banana sour cream pancakes, fried ham, and a fresh blackberry juice/shake for their breakfast this morning. Each of the kids had a candy treat on the breakfast plate this morning.
(The youngest member of our classroom (Elijah)...came to school in his nightgown today. =)
Then after family devotions, we ran to the nearby park to get some fun school pictures.
Last night I was able to sneak and make some choc. cupcakes and I kept them hidden for an extra treat after our lunch. We thank the Lord for a good first day of school!
(By the way...we noticed today that Elijah (4 months) is getting his 2 front bottom teeth!)
Enjoy the peek into our "schoolroom". =)

Sarah's outfit is adorable. Your breakfast party is so festive and has such a beautiful menu. And, What a Mama, who can teach her children so attractively at home! I got nostalgic thinking of you getting old, Heather. I cannot ever imagine your kids without their mother. Phillip picked a winner when he picked you to be his wife, that's for sure!

sankey family said...: I love your Smilebox and it looks like you all had a great first day of school - hope your year goes well! Our year is up and running, but with deputation who knows what we'll actually accomplish this fall. The boys are doing great so far and we'll be able to catch up once we get back home to Mexico!; September 18, 2008 at 9:54 AM

Mission's UpDate!

Dec. 18th, 2015 found us coming back to the U.S.A. from South America, but to continue working as full-time missionaries with our mission.
With our Children's age, we have been planning for years to come back at this time.
We remain under appointment with Global Holiness Mission to continue serving Colombia and Argentina.
We will be making trips to teach, preach, and disciple the nationals on the fields.
Now that we are serving our people with missions trips from out of the States, we will also be ministering via digital and written ministry in Spanish and English for those that are on the field. We so appreciate all of y'all's prayers for us! None of this would be possible if it weren't for a team effort of you and others like you. God has been doing great things, let's ask and expect more from Him!
