Living an Intentional Life
This year, Tatum would have a solo to “WEE THREE KINGS.” (Yes..W.E.E)
They handed out these awesome star shirts since this was the theme.
I had a little motivation for her!
Program:
She looked so confident up there!
Noah was a wise man of course. She commented how cute he is.
When she got home, she couldn’t stop singing. She even sang to her nativity scene.
So proud of you and your bravery!
I love this time of year because we get to decorate and celebrate.
Tatum of course loves the chocolate part of Advent.
And the first day? A chocolate stocking!
We won’t forget the Coopy…
I’ll take that!!
And our classic standard advent one….the angel is first! Announcing HIM!!!
We also started Advent Blocks… The first day is the Adam and Eve story and our fall and NEED for rescue.
May the season be a restful, joyful celebration of our Savior’s birth.
Back in the summer, I listened to a podcast on Focus on the Family about this organization. American Heritage Girls.
I was immediately intrigued! First week of school, I contacted our Headmaster, Sheryl Temple and ran the idea by her.
First, here is a bit about them: “American Heritage Girls (AHG) was founded by a group of parents wanting a faith-based, scout-type character development program for their daughters in 1995. The AHG Program is dedicated to the mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country. AHG girls across the nation and the globe participate in badge programs, service projects, leadership opportunities, and outdoor experiences, all with an emphasis on Christian values and family involvement. Today there are Troops in every state and in 15 countries around the world.
She was very excited to say the least and agreed to pay for the fees if I could get a group of parents to start with me. I set up a meeting with a few parents, and they all were so interested. It went gangbusters from there. We assembled the BOARD (five ladies) set up many meetings to get this rolled out, and BOOM! Our first meeting was December 6th.
We decided to start small with just 6-10 year olds (thru 4th grade), and then we’d go from there.
We had 30 girls!~
Kate Munroe is my Troop lead (She is also Noah’s mother) (Hearts aflutter)
My dear girl handed out the treats to the girls…servant!
January we’ll start earning badges and rolling this all out!
SO grateful to PVCP and all the moms!
He’s deserving of so much more.
We had small group the night of his bday, so I decided to surprise him with notes in his bag. He would open up one per hour. Here is my little stash:
And now…the seven!
and so….I did.
I also made him some of his favorites…lasagna! Well, it’s zucchini and hearts of palm sans the pasta part.
And so…Tot and I did our usual puppet show. This year…. Scaredy and Elephant introducing the NEW more youthful….doggie and cowy!
….Telling Daddy some funny jokes and making him answer what is his fountain of youth secret?
Yes, it’s his wife! HA!
Then the presents. Some cologne, pictures, and shoes. They sent the wrong size, but they fit Tot!
I love you so much honey.
Your are our hero.
