Living Museum Fun

Rebekah as Joy Adamson with Elsa the Lion (the Webkin kind since it is in an elementary school)
This week Rebekah took part in the annual Second Grade Living Museum.  Each of the children were able to choose a famous person from world history.  Then they researched that person, wrote and memorized a short 30 second monologue about the famous person's life, and dressed up in character on the day of the museum activity.  They presented their character at the Living Museum activity in the school library on Friday.  Parents were able to walk around and listen to the children's speeches.  It was really fun to see all the work the kids put into their presentations as we walked around listening to each of them. 

Rebekah chose to be Joy Adamson of Born Free fame.  She did a fabulous job memorizing her part and doing the research to learn about Ms Adamson.  Here is a video of her at the Living Museum.  Sorry for all of the back ground noise.



Rebekah's speech: "My name is Joy Adamson.  I was born January 20, 1910.  I lived most of my life in Kenya.  I am an animal rights activist, conservationist, and journalist.  In the 1950s I studied lions in Africa.  I had to raise three lion cubs.  Elsa was my favorite lioness cub.  I wrote my most famous book about her.  It is called Born Free."

And then to end the week's post with some fun pictures of Miss Maeve dressing up in a fabulous scarf.  :)

Extreme Close Up!  :D

We Returned to a Blessing

We came home to a HUGE blessing. Our house is still here and didn't sustain much damage. We just have to rebuild a portion of our fence and clean up dead branches and we are good to groove again. We don't have power yet, but I anticipate that it will come online soon. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I know the Lord greatly blessed us on this one. We came home and made sure we gave a prayer of thanks for His mercy on us. We hope we can get out there and start helping folks who didn't fair as well as we did soon. Here are some pictures of our home:

Not Much Happening In Our Neck of the Woods

Not much to tell from our end of Texas. We've just been keeping busy keeping busy. We have started doing a small story time on Wednesdays with a few friends. The kids love it. Rebekah likes spending time with the other kids and Loyd adores doing the finger plays. I'm sure Great Grandma Young is helping him learn all the actions. He's really quite good at them and picks up the plays rather quickly. Loyd also went in for his 18 month old well baby visit. Everything is looking good for our young man. He is tall and skinny and seems to be ahead of the curve on his developmental milestones. The pediatrician was impressed. Rebekah is turning into quite the social butterfly. She loves to play with her friends. She would have them come over every day, all day if she could. When they have to go home she turns to Loyd and spends the rest of the afternoon telling him what to do. She taught him a few games with some carpet squares and has him trained on how to play a good g...

John has been asking for months if his birthday would be tomorrow.  For months we have had to break the sad news his birthday was no tomorrow.  This month I finally had the chance to tell this cute little man that Yes!  His birthday was tomorrow!  We had so much fun celebrating the ray of sunshine known in our home as John.  The birthday fairy decorated his bedroom door with candy, friends were invited for a super fun Paw Patrol themed party, and presents were excitedly received.  We had so much fun celebrating and playing.  Every day should be John's birthday!  :)  John is growing up to be such a goon natured and kind little boy.  He writes the most heartfelt notes, gives the best hugs and snuggles, and plays the most fun games.  John has a tender testimony of Jesus and Heavenly Father.  He wants to do what is right and help others know they are loved too.  John is a fun friend, a thoughtful brother, and a loving, obedien...
