SJ is 8~ {The Best of Days}

SJ had counted down her birthday with a chain for weeks

because Mill would be home that day as well.

It finally came and we were so happy to have BC with us for the weekend too~

 One of the things I love about SJ is her easy going spirit...
The highlights of her day was choosing a breakfast of sausage cheese casserole,
opening her big gift {Woodzeez's Treehouse and family}
and don't ask me why I don't have pics... who knows!~

 She also got a trip to the new bakery in town for a cupcake and donuts then
the BIG trip to the airport to pick up Mimi...
she was the only little that got to go~

 It was the BEST of homecomings~

 Mimi right back where she belongs~

 A great adventure for sure~

But no one like family and HOME!
WHEW~ our girl is home and all is right with the world!!!
Praise Jesus for this great blessing!
Happy birthday SJ... tomorrow is your PARTY!!!

Our Graduate~

Amelia has officially finished her degree and is a graduate of UNG~

 The BEST news... she flies HOME tomorrow!!!!!~

 Her beautiful final watercolor ~

We can not wait to have her home!!!

It's going to be a GREAT weekend!!!

Angleo~ FIAR Vol 4 {Rome, Italy}

The next selection we will be rowing about Italy is Angelo 

and it takes place in Rome which is where Mill is studying.

Here are a few photos she has shared with us~

Here are two of her watercolor projects completed~

Just breathtaking!!!

We know she is having the trip of a lifetime but we are so ready to have her home!

Today we learned that the numbers on our kitchen clock are ROMAN~

 And made our own charts with everyone working at their own level.

We also decided to take school outside for a Nature Hunt~

It was just what the crew needed!!!

Today for our lunch audio book we began~

and we LOVE it!!!

We may need to pull out watercolors tomorrow too!

Amelia to Italy~

Amelia left this morning for her big adventure to Italy~

 There were sad littles and heavy hearts 

but we couldn't be happier for her!

She made it safe and sound and so far we have a few photos of her adventures~

We are taking the month of July to learn all about Italy as Amelia is there.

She is taking two classes @ the university there~ water coloring and photography!

These photos were taken with her phone while getting a quick tour.

So excited to see this beautiful place through her photos!

Have fun Mill and know you are loved and missed!!!
