The Little Missy is definitely an athlete in the making.  Of course, her gift for gab is currently the most employed skill set utilized in the gym and on the field these days.  But every team needs a (vocal) leader, so use whatcha got, Girl!

And as she learns to truly harness her natural speed and physical coordination, this (highly competitive) Mama will be (very) ready to support and cheer on her Little Miss Athlete…

goofy face paint, fanatical hand-clapping, and jocular chants included.

Gymnastics

Decked out in official duds, no less!

Soccer

Go Red Firecats!
(Though “Red Herding Cats” was a bit more like it!)

Throw in!

End of season revelries

We studied.
We played.

Mama prayed a whole lot and drank tubs full of coffee.
Nobody died.
Everybody learned a bit of something.

We conquered.

Praise be to GOD.

End of Year Celebration

Deerstream

Wednesday science class for the Little Miss.
Mrs. Bonner and all of the Deerstream classmates were SO MUCH FUN!

Field Trips

The most exciting part of the week,
trucking along in our very own yellow (err…grey) bus.

Raleigh Little Theater

Greensboro’s International Civil Rights Museum

(The former home of the Woolworth’s Lunchcounter Sit-in.  This is a heart-wrenching gem…a must-experience for anyone who comes to North Carolina.  May we all have eyes to see and ears to hear the truth of our country’s past…and present.  And may we all have the hearts and courage to strive toward a much more loving and just future.)

We are ALL God’s children.
All beautiful.
All special.
All beloved.

So there you have it.

We made it through another school year.

And were all mostly sane at the end.

Mostly.

Praise be to GOD.

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.  Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
Psalm 127:3-5

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
