Our Neighborhood

The buildings are very small and big. The people on my street are very, very, very, very nice. We have neighbors from Arizona. One neighbor, Emily, has two cats: Cheddar and Gatsby. Our other neighbor has a dog named Conny. I love our neighborhood. I also love our neighbors.

Jenny and I

Christopher had to write a compare/contrast essay for English class. Here is a typed version of his report that he did on posterboard, complete with pictures, stickers and decorations. This is just the report that he wrote:

Jenny and I

Jenny and I are very much alike. She is my sister and my friend but we fight.

We love each other. Both of us go to Calvary Church. Jenny and I are very tan. We love to eat delicious mac and cheese. We also love to swim.

I have my own room, however, she has to share a room with Bex. I am in 5th grade but she is in 7th grade. My favorite color is blue, hers is orange. I have chocolate brown eyes, she has pretty hazel eyes.

I love Jenny so much. She plays with me. She also takes care of me.

Christopher's Journal Entry 9/4/09

Uuugh!

My bad thing that happened to me was I was sitting on my back porch and fell out the window. I went to the hospital and stayed there for 2 days. My other injury was when my sister Becky hit me in the head with a bat while we were playing. God healed me and I believed more in Him ever since that happened.

The End.

Assignment was to write about a bad experience and why or how God used it in your life.

An Awesome Summer

My family went to a Bluefish game. My Grammy came down for a visit. So did my cousins. I like to go in the pool. I like to cook on the grill.

The End.

This was Christopher's first journal entry for Spelling this year. He was asked to write about his summer.

Slide Show of Day 1

We're BAAAAAACK

Well... we have begun... for better or worse..

On the "better" note... we do love the BJU video's and were very excited to start. The kids said they will enjoy the different teaching styles this year.

On the "worse" side... we had nothing but problems with the online streaming. One delay after another so we had to call it a 1/2 day. Spent an hour on the phone with BJU and got no resolution. Chris will have to look into why the videos' kept freezing tonight. Hope he can fix it. Very frustrating.

Today is Chris's 43rd birthday. Jenny is making him a strawberry cake right now.
