Spelling Tuesday

Dear Loralie,   Your Dad and I are so very excited that you get to be Star of the Week!  We have always known you were a star, and now all your friends will get to see why. We love your creative mind.  You always think of new and different ways to come at problems. You create things constantly.  There is nothing that you cannot make if you put your mind to it.  We believe that you will use this special brain of yours to solve some of the world's big problems.  What a gift you are! You are so so funny. Ever since you were old enough to talk you have made us laugh with your little sayings.  Laughter is one of the main ingredients of a happy life.  Your positive energy and ability to laugh at yourself will get you far. You are such a great big sister.  Ever since you asked the Easter Bunny to bring you a "Brudder" you have been looking out for little Roman.  He really looks up to you, and wants to be just like you- even if i...

Well, the Lenz clan officially outgrew a house this year and we had to move Thanksgiving to the church! The Brummetts also showed up in full form. Lots of good times and full tummies!

Went to school today and enjoyed a scrumptious Thanksgiving feast with Romans Kindergarten class. I’m Thankful for this little guy!

Caleb and i got to enjoy a day-date as he was honored yet again for saving someone’s life (aka doing his job...) But we are all very proud of him.

Future doctor and teacher here for career day at school. Yes, teacher was a new one for Roman. He usually says dentist or chef! 

We had another great box packing party for operation Christmas Child. The kids colored pictures to include. We packed 26 boxes! 

We got to enjoy the musical stylings of the entire third grade class tonight.  It was a patriotic combo with such favorites as “Yankee Doodle” and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” Classic. Loralie also showed off some of her artwork.

The stage was set for a spooky All Hallows’ Eve! We had some pre-treat dinner with friends... And then a very CHILLY evening outside! We are talking snow flurries-cold.  Coats under your costume-cold. These kids managed to score some major candy though, so ... worth it.
