Update!

Sorry for the lack of updates...we have been busy!

As many of you know, we had the Greenwing Picnic on Saturday! It was a HUGE success! A lot of work, but well worth it...we received great feedback which encourages us to keep going! I have updated the Greenwing blog (link to the right) - if interested, please check it out! :)

We received Jarrett's final report card on Monday...he did AWESOME! He improved in ALL areas. In the beginning they only gave E,G,S,N marks for work habits and social traits...but he actually received letter grades this trimester as follows:

English A+
Word Building A+
Math A+
Art A+
Science A+
Social Studies A-

WE ARE SO PROUD OF OUR BOY! :) We are keeping his mind working over the summer, too...workbooks, an educational PC game, "field trips", etc. Today Jarrett and I are meeting a group from his school for their "book club." They read two books a month and then meet for discussion and craft/activity! He is very excited to see his friends from school.

I finished up my photography class... :( I am skipping the next session of classes, but hope to keep practicing and enroll in a course next time!

Our washing machine broke...so we had to purchase a new one...it is SOOOOO cool! It almost makes doing laundry fun/exciting (for awhile anyways)!

David is ... working ... and he caught a bit of a cold - nothing worse than working in the heat with a cold, yuck!

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

We made it!

My friend, Cyndi, and I actually made this wood duck box - all by ourselves! I told Cyndi, "I didn't know playing in the garage was so much fun!" We are so proud of our accomplishment! And we can't wait for "Wanda" to come hatch her ducklings in "our" box! (We are such girls, we already named the hen!)

We have 9 more to build at the Greenwing Picnic on Saturday - hope to see you all there!

Mia!

Meet the newest member of the Ross Family...Mia!




Jarrett has been wanting a hamster for months. We decided he earned one for doing so well in Kindergarten. We were going to name the hamster "Hammie", but we got a girl, so I said we have to name her "Hammia" - thus, Mia!

Graduation Day!

Today Jarrett graduated from Kindergarten! His first grade teacher, who is also a photographer, took the children's picture in a cap/gown...too cute!

Today I realized again just how blessed we are that the Lord has provided us the opportunity to send our son to a faith-based school. The teachers, administration, parents, and students are amazing...we are so blessed...

I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify Him with thanksgiving. Psalm 69:30

Weekend at the Bahia

CJ had their annual meeting in San Diego this year, so we enjoyed a mini-vacation in our "backyard"! Friday night we enjoyed a Polynesian luau. Saturday morning we had breakfast as a group, and met up with Daddy in the afternoon. Papa and Grandma picked Jarrett up, so we could have the evening to enjoy the dinner cruise the company hosted. It was a nice time!

 

12 Years and counting...

This weekend David and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. Thank you for being a part of our lives and supporting and encouraging us on this life-long journey...
