September Gone By

It was full.  It flew by.  It was a special month.

My 40th (see previous blog for more on that!).  Several days after, celebrating with my birthday buddy and friend, Flavia!

Noah's 4th...

8 hours at the park with family and friends and he still did not want to go home!  We had a delicious brunch and God gave us a beautiful, not-too-hot-not-too-cold day.  Later in the day we had more coffee and cake and they just kept playing!

Visiting friends with new babies...

Grandparents Tea with Noah's Class...

Noah with his great grandma, Ruth

As not one of the four grandparents could be present, my father in law's brother and sister stood in for the grandparents.  It was so special to have Noah's great aunts and uncle there for him.  Of course, the guest of honor was his 83 year old great grandma, Ruth!

And lots and lots and lots of Health and Fine Arts classes...

Planning their chapel presentation for later in October.  We have been given the entire chapel time to present our High School program and we are super excited about that.  My students are working hard on making it a great presentation.

My dear friend, Richard, graciously agreed to be our guest speaker in September and gave us basic First Aid training.

Architectural Watercolor Painting Class

Requirement: you have to use your fingers!

Fine Arts: Student's choice of project.  The results were amazing!

My students amaze me.  Humble me.  Inspire me.  They may very well teach me more than I teach them.

While there was much, much more that happened, these are the highlights.  

We are well on our way to mid-October.  It is warming up in our urban corner of the world.  It is Spring now.  Summer is coming!

"Come, let us bow down in worship, 

 let us kneel before the LORD our maker; 

for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture

the flock under His care."  Psalm 95:6-7

We are experiencing His gracious care in so many ways.  All we can do is kneel before Him in GRATITUDE.

Blessings on each of you,
