Shannonogans: HC Spring Show '11

Justin's end of the year spring program at school. We woke up the morning of the program to find that I didn't have a good outfit picked out. After going through all the plaid shorts, we stumble upon some hand-me-downs that have some sort of red paint on the back of them. I try to scrub the red out and send Justin to school with dampened (and red) shorts. Next comes the shirt. I hadn't switched to the next size shirts, so I grab an XS and decide it fits. Which it really didn't. I cram his feet in his brown "dressier" shoe and send my little man off to school. Not bad considering the boy never wears nice anything anymore.

Justin loves to sing. His tummy looked like it was singing too as often as we got a glimpse of it. Next time I should plan a little better with the clothes.

At VBS this week Justin said his favorite part is the singing. I think he might grow up a choir boy which would make this momma very happy. Sing it for the Lord, sweet boy.

We have started taking classes at Arrow Child & Family Ministries to straight adopt through the foster care system. After having dessert with the Kleins, who are in charge of our adoption ministry at church, we both felt led to go this route for adoption. So we need to take 12 classes, get a home study and a fire inspection (fire extinguishers here we come) and then wait for a call for some kiddos. We would love siblings younger than the J man. So this family photo of 3 will hopefully change in the next year to much larger.

Justin & John (lots of alliteration going on here)

Justin was a part of a pre-K basketball team that consisted of 3 pre-K kids and JT. Zachary was on his two-some team and they were fast friends. We will miss Zachary next year!

Our buddy and neighbor, Ellery

Acting like boys with the boys. Jonathan was a role model to Justin as every time he plays pretend his name is Jonathan. As well as he wants a brother named Jonathan.

Mrs. Thigpen has been the headmistress at our school for 37 years. She retired after this year and will be greatly missed! We have a young new face coming in. It won't be the same without Mrs. Thigpen who we dearly loved!
