Happy Birthday to Me!

We went to a wedding in Temple on my birthday. It was nice to be with family for the day.

Jane's 13th

Our Vacation Bible School "traveled" to Athens, Greece to study the story of Paul's second journey. It was once again a family affair as Callie was a participant (her last year), Madden volunteered as a youth helper, Porter starred as Paul with the preschool set, and I helped chair the event. Blessings abounded. It is so great to be surrounded by all the love.

Celebrations

Our annual 4th of July celebration in Corpus Christi was unusually busy. In addition to the national holiday, we are lucky enough to celebrate Wendy's Independence Day birthday. This year, we also had a Celebration of Life in memory of my Uncle Bud, mom's brother. And to top it off, on July 5th, we witnessed the nuptials of John Robert Bugay, dad's grandson. To say it was busy is quite an understatement, however, it was such a blessing to gather together with this large group of family. Here are some scenes from the weekend.

Hip Hop

Could our girls be any less alike? Callie dances only hip hop, and Madden dances anything but. This is Callie's dress rehearsal performance for today's recital. She is the youngest in the class, dancing with girls that are Madden's age. I think she holds her own.

The (5th grade) Graduate

The graduate received one more round of awards on Wednesday: Citizenship award, Choir award, Voracious Reader award including the Genre Challenge (they had to read a certain number of specific types of books), The President's Award, and Enthusiastic Learner in Math, Science, Language Arts and Social Studies. We are all sad to say goodbye to Doss Elementary School.
