Family Fun Night at church.......Enrichment Program begins

There is a wonderful enrichment program homeschooled kids in Mesa that is funded by our tax dollars. This year Zachary is going on Mondays while Harrison & Elijah are going on T/TH. This is a picture of Harrison and Elijah's first day - Harrison going into their 2nd grade class and Elijah into Kindergarten if you can believe that!!!

Elijah was SO excited. The night before he picked his own outfit out. This all Clemson orange ensemble is his absolute favorite thing to wear.









Here he is sitting at his desk in Mrs. Skipper's class (isn't that a great name for a K teacher?!). The room was full of parents and kids, but as I left he still yelled out to me, 'I love you Mommy!'













Our elementary pastor, Chris Hedrick, is wonderful. He has great enthusiasm and knows how to do goofy things but bring them full circle to help re-enforce Biblical principle that we, as parents, are hopefully teaching at home.
Every quarter he tries to have a Family Worship Night at church. Everyone is in the worship center, and he has fun games and crafts centered around a theme.
Here, Elijah is waiting with Summer to hear what Pastor Chris has to share.






Me, Harrison, and Pam Cooley taking a close up group shot! I promise - we were paying attention to the lesson!










Kris Miele, Summer's mom, is apparently an expert at using toilet paper. Chris was giving a lesson on loving everyone and spoke about the leper Jesus touched......how dirty they probably were.....smelly, etc. BUT, Jesus still reached out to him because he is a child of God.

Harrison served as our leper and Kris wrapped him up well! He wasn't happy that I was taking his picture like this though.
