Little Miss Hannah

Look who's 9 months old today!
She's not a fan of strange people or places, so she was a little stingy with her smiles while having her pictures taken...

Big sister Mary came along, and she was full of smiles!

Mary will be 4 years old in just a couple of weeks!

Hannah scoots around the house in her little walker, and keeps us on our toes as she explores!
Here she is getting into the snack cupboard when it was left open.

Checking out the spinning part of the dishwasher...

Sister snuggles

Uh oh... she got a hold of the toilet paper, and was pretty happy about it!

Here's our studious home school crew, who have been working hard over the past few days!

Miss Hannah is army crawling all over the place!

She sometimes makes it a little difficult for the kids to focus on their school work! ;)

All School Program 2020

This past Friday night was our school's annual spring program.
The students & teachers put a great deal of work into memorizing, reciting, and singing songs of praise to our Savior. This year's theme was "The Goodly Tree." Enjoy! :)

Piano Festival February 2020

Ryan, Kara, & Evan recently participated in a Piano Festival at Dordt College. They each had to memorize two songs & play them for a judge. They practiced their songs many times over the past few months and were a little nervous, but it went well! We are thankful for the musical talents God has given them, and hope that they will always use them for His glory.

(There is no photography or recording allowed at the festival, but they were kind enough to play their songs one more time for Mom. ;)
