All Good Things Must Come To An End

Will's first year of Boy Scouts has come to an end.  He absolutely loves being a scout!  He & Matt worked very hard on his book - achieving many goals so that he could earn his Tiger Patch.  He is now an official Tiger Cub!!


The following week, we attended the Awana Awards night.  Here are Maddie & Will receiving their certificate and ribbon for finishing their second book.
Alex received her first T&T award - the Alpha medallion.  She finished her book over a month ago and was able to help other girls work on their books during study time.  Katie also finished her book and had enough time to go back and complete the bonus sections for each discovery/section.  She was the only one in the T&T group to earn any bonus pins - and she earned the Silver AND the Gold.  We were shocked to hear this as she generally works on this on her own.  Notice that both girls are wearing the Bible Quizing medals as well as their Clubber of the Month medals. 
All 4 kids worked really hard this year and accomplished their goals...and more in some cases!  We are so proud of them - especially considering that most of the studying was done on their own with minimal help from us.  They are hiding God's word in their hearts...and I pray that He will use that mightily in the years to come!

Now that Boy Scouts, Awana & Swimming have come to an end...we finally have some down time during the week.  We are looking forward to starting up our parent/child date nights again...as well as heading out to parks, riding bikes, etc in the evenings.  School will be done before we know it and summer will be in full swing!
