Crazy for Scooby!

I've had a little bit of a blogging hiatus. Out of town, sick, tired, trying to get back into our routine...the excuses are endless. So here are a couple of recent updates.

Where are we?

Okay, I moved from the midwest to get away from this crummy weather! :) The last few days have been very unlike Colorado--overcast, bitterly cold, even foggy! We need the sunshine back!
However, there has been a lot of time for cuddling and enjoying some indoor activities...

Admittedly, we Ballers have never had an aversion to staying in our pajamas all day!

Praise Award

Every month in Katie's class, they honor a few students for exhibiting a quality, this month's praise awards went to students who exhibit resourcefulness. This is what her teacher, Mrs. Freeman, wrote to Katie:

"Dear Katie, It is my pleasure to honor you for showing the character quality of resourcefulness. Katie, when you were King's Kid, I noticed how so many of your classmates praised you for your creativity. We are all amazed at the projects and creations that you make from simple scraps of paper and other odds and ends. In other words, you are very resourceful! God has certainly blessed you with the gift of creativity. He has a special plan for how you can use your gifts for His glory. In Colossians 3:23, it says that we are to work at things as though we are working for the Lord. We are to do this in every aspect of our life, whether we are creatively making something new or whether we are working hard at making new friends and being a good friend to others. Always remember how much Jesus loves you! Thank you for sharing your resourcefulness and creativity with our class. Congratulations! Love, Mrs. Freeman
Way to go, Doodlebug! We love you and you are such a blessing to our family and so many other people!
