We Have A 4th and 1st Grader!

Well my sweet littles made it, another school year has come and gone! Gary and I adore and love and are SO SO PROUD of Lilly and Owen. These are two amazing kids. We are so proud of the accomplishments that they have both made this year. Lilly and Owen were both Bobcat Ambassadors to their school a prestigious award that rarely is awarded to a sister and brother duo! They received several gift certificates to Texas Road House, Skate City, Mini Golf, and tickets to a Sky Sox Game. They also received homework passes that they can use any time while attending Springs Ranch, lots of Springs Ranch trinkets and a special pizza lunch with  Mrs. Marrioti the school Principal. Lilly and Owen both have won several academic awards this year including Math, Science, Social Studies, PE and Music.  Lilly and Owen made amazing leaps and bounds academically this year. Lilly is reading and writing better than ever and is above grade level in Math and Science. Lilly was also a leader in her grade level as a representative to the Fuel Up to Play 60 program. Owen went into school not reading well or writing and has become proficient in both areas and is above grade level in Math.

Our year does not stop at school as both the kiddos were heavily involved in serving in church. Both kids are more than willing to serve others…just not clean their rooms…still working on that! But at church they love to greet new kids and help in any way that they can. We are so thankful for who they are becoming in Christ and praise The Lord every chance we get to thank Him for the blessings that are our Children.

We are blessed with lots of help in raising our babies. My parents have been amazing at taking the kids to school, helping with homework and always going to school performances, and special events. We were blessed beyond with amazing teachers. Mr. Hepperlie was pretty insane and brought a little blond haired blue eyed little girl out of her shell and showed her school could be fun. Mrs. Hemmingway is brilliant and a saint. She recognized things in Owen that we did not and we are forever grateful for her talents. And last but not least is our amazing and I truly mean amazing Children’s Pastors, staff and faithful servants at Radiant Church. They teach the most amazing truth to our kids, they make the Bible come alive and we are forever thankful and grateful.
