Salt Crystals
We made salt crystals in preschool yesterday. They are so cool, we wanted you to see them. The one on the left is Mason's. The one on the right is Diane's. FUN!

January
Happy New Year!!! WOW, can you believe it's 2009?
Time flies when you're having fun, and we've been having fun...I guess. We actually got snow for Christmas and the first of the year and there's still some on the ground. It's hard & crunchy, but still there. The kids have had fun sledding over at the school. They built another slide in the front yard, but it has melted down to where they can't really slide on it anymore. It's been cold, but not as cold as Alaska!
Devin's Chicago trip was a lot of fun. He got to do a lot of fun things including seeing the musical "Wicked" and going to a Blue Man Group concert. Yes, they did perform too! He brought us home some neat Christmas presents that he got at an open air market there. What an experience he had.
Kasey & Kurtis have been busy with play rehearsals. We have started their costumes and will be working on them this week...yay. They are quite interesting. Nothing like a Dr. Seuss camel and water buffalo...I can't wait to see the finished product.
Devin kept us busy the last couple of weeks with his Eagle project. Talk about waiting until the last minute to get it done. He chose to make fleece blankets for Project Linus, a national organization that donates handmade blankets to hospitals to give to children. The goal was 100, and we got 64 done. It took a lot of time and effort, but he finished it up Saturday, the day before his birthday!
Donated and Purchased Fleece
All the Finished Blankets
Happy to be Done!
Devin also had Preference on Saturday. He headed out the door with his date 30 minutes after he handed in his Eagle application. Perfect timing.
Justin is doing great. He is in his first area, Gridley California. We haven't heard from him yet this week, but hope to soon. It is fun hearing about his experiences and feeling his testimony through his emails and letters.
Preschool is going well. I lost one student so I combined my 3 & 4 year olds into one class and only teach on Tuesday & Thursday. It has been nice only teaching two days a week instead of four. I have lots more time to do other things...like clean my house, ick!
Well, that gets you caught up on our comings & goings for the month. We hope all is well with each of you. Happy Birthday to Vern & Von...enjoy it! And we're off to another wonderful year.
