WE ARE DONE!!

It is 2:58 on Monday, May 19th, and we are officially done with school!! The kids dug in and finished three days of schoolwork today, so they are finished!!!

Ashley my beautiful girl, is no longer an 8th grader! She is going to be a freshman next year! The thought of that starts to freak me out....but I refuse to fear what is ahead for her. She is a smart, strong teenager, that makes her parents very proud!

Alex accomplished 5th grade with flying colors. The thought that he is headed for 6th grade is mind-boggling! It is a joy to watch Alex learn a new concept. He lights up like a light bulb and embraces it with all he has!

Nikki and Alyssa are no longer 1st graders. Nikki's response when I told them that they were done was, "YES! I have always wanted to be in 2nd grade!!!!"
These girls did awesome!!

Sheila is exhausted!!!! There are no other words to describe it! I love these kids, but schooling on top of mothering is enough to take a sane woman, and tempt her to run for the hills!
I just did what God asked of me to do, and I will end by saying that He is doing a brand, new work in me, and I am jumping on board with Him!

Thank you Father for your help every single day of this last school year! You showed up in my life faithfully, and I give you all my praise!
Please take my feeble efforts and do as only you can do...make it a good thing!

LET THE SUMMER BEGIN!! The kids are already in the pool!

Sheila, I cannot express to you how much Aaron and I appreciated you schooling Alyssa this year. I know you said that it wasn't a lot of extra trouble, but I know it did have it's extra work involved. You are an amazing person! You did a wonderful job teaching all four!
CONGRATULATIONS ON A YEAR COMPLETED!!!!!!! Now, we can enjoy our summer!
I love you!

Dear Sheila,
Your blog has exemplified how much God has helped you through this school year. Your praise to Him and all that He has helped you through has been a blessing to me as you have expressed it here for us. Enjoy your summer and God bless you abundantly.
I love you ~ Mother T
