Life and Times of the First Grade

My first born baby is almost finished with her first grade year. I can't believe how quickly the time has passed. She has done really well this year and I am proud of her. She has had some exciting things happening lately.

First of all, she was asked to include a story that she wrote in the Tri-Lakes Young Authors Conference. She enjoyed a day of writing and illustrating activities and received a certificate and a gold seal on the cover of her book. The book is entitled "The Bird That Said Moo." It's a very cute story. She was proud to be a real author. Maybe, God will use her someday in that area. She has so much potential. Here are a few pictures I took that day.

Another exciting thing that happened was a special surprise at school. The third and fourth grade had spent time in state testing and this was a little treat for all their hard work. The Principal and my husband Josh set it up. It was a visit from our favorite helicopter pilot, Big Sis's Daddy, Josh. He landed at the school Monday morning and all the kids got a chance to look at the aircraft. Big Sis and her daddy both had an awesome time. I wasn't able to be there, but the secretary took these pictures for me.
