Last Day of School!

Friday was our last day of school! Tirzah completed lesson 170 for her video school from the Abeka curriculum and Hardy finished his workbooks and readers. It was really neat to see Tirzah's class at the end of activity time line up and say good-bye. Tirzah started tearing up; she loved Mrs. Chappell and her class this year. Hardy had no tears; when we finished, he just zoomed outside to play before lunch. 

This is a Christmas card from Pensacola Christian Academy; on it are the pictures of the video teachers. Since Christmas, Tirzah has kept this card pinned on the wall of the schoolroom. Here she is, getting ready to draw a heart around Mrs. Chappell's face.

Sweet, huh? I'm so glad Tirzah had a great school year. We are so proud of her and Hardy; they both do so well in school. Now they will be in the third and first grade next year. Every year at our house just gets better and better!

Our Ladies Tea

We had a good time at our Ladies' Tea today. Our theme was "Cruise into Service." We decorated the main building to look like a cruise ship, complete with hanging seagulls (one was flying--Tim attached it to the ceiling fan!). Tim also put together background music of the ocean and seagulls; it was very relaxing to listen to! The Koontz family once again outdid themselves in preparing a wonderful meal for us ladies; we had the choice of a tilapia or chicken dinner and it was great! The guys looked great as they wore sailor hats when they served us. Selah slept through most of it and was an angel. We really had a wonderful time!
