Letter H is for Hippo

I found a great new blog that has some really terrific ideas for letters of the Alphabet. Here are the activities for the Letter "H". Drama Queen had a great time working through them. Thanks to Confessions of a Homeschooler for the great downloads. They can be found here.

We started with a Bible verse to sort featuring the letter H

Next we did a puzzle "H is for Hippo"

Then we used thumbtacks to outline Letter H. Great for muscle development.

We finished with an art project where we made a Hippo





All in all it was a great day!

5 Years and Counting.....

February 10th is a day that will forever be burned into my memory. It is the day I went to the Dr. thinking I had a breast infection and left knowing that I had breast cancer. This week I had my 5 year anniversary from that day. I am now considered officially cured!!!! Even though my diagnosis was terrifying, cancer brings with it many blessings. It was God's way of saying "Hey, you down there, you need to stop and take a look around sometime". Thankfully, His plan was for me to still be here and carry out His plans for me. My life changed 100% that day and most of it was positive. I have in my life everything I could ever want. I am so thankful.

I want to thank my family, friends, and loved ones who supported me through 2 years of treatments and more. I couldn't have made it without you....... I love each and everyone of you :)

I especially want to thank my husband who probably felt like he had cancer too. We made it through and are still standing together. I love you and Happy Valentine's Day.

Snow'in in Southland

We finally had some winter weather come our way last weekend. We had a few days of snow and ice and cool temperatures that kept it around a few days instead of the overnight melt that we usually have. Mom Mom and Grandpa have moved to a new house with a great sledding hill so we met the "couzins" and took advantage of the lingering snow. Everyone had a ball. They are calling for snow again tomorrow if you can believe it. Can't remember when the weather has been this dicey around here for two weeks straight. Must have the global warmer's scratching their heads. Here's to you Al Gore :)

Don't you just love Wolife's outfit?
