Mrs. Sheryl , our neighbor, and John
John is enjoying the cake:)
Here is the luscious cake - yum -my!
Claire picked out a stick horse and cowboy hat for John. We bought him cowboy boots , so he is ready to head out West!
John used his money from Aunt Cat Cat to buy this webkins rooster and his hair was roosterish this morning
Granny gave Claire and John the cutest cards that barked .
Joseph and Lauren are soon to move to Jackson, TN where Lauren will enter Nursing school.
Jeremy and Lindsay!
The children all love Uncle Jerry and Aunt Rosella!
The festivities began on Sunday with a family birthday dinner for John and Claire(hers is next week) at my Mom's. Cathy, Jim , Jerry, Rosella, Jeremy, Lindsay, Joseph and Lauren were there and we had some of Claire and John's favorite foods-hashbrown casserole, corn casserole, fried okra and fried chicken tenders. They also had picked out a cake. We had a good time visiting with family and it was bittersweet as it was the first major family gathering without Daddy.
Yesterday, Scott took John out to breakfast at Cracker Barrel and then when they got home, John opened presents and we did school! I am really enjoying John's curriculum this year. We are using Sonlight which is mostly read alouds. We cuddle up on the couch and read for over a hour. Love it!! He is doing Singapore Math and Handwriting for a Reason as well as some Sing , Spell , Read and Write and we are finishing up Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.
I try to play educational games with him every day as well.
After track yesterday, we were back at home for John's birthday supper. He wanted peas, mashed potatoes and BBQ chicken! After supper we enjoyed a delicious ice cream cake created by Anna Beth. It was truly the best ice cream cake I have ever eaten. John picked out the flavors. Then we topped off the evening by swimming in our neighbor's pool until after dark.
I am very thankful for John and as I have prayed before, I hope God will use John's life for His glory!
