Am I proud? ... or what???

I thought I should get a post in before November kisses us goodbye. I can't believe how quickly the time is sailing past us!!

My gifts do not lie in the area of art/craft. When God was allocating gifts, He knew I was going to marry Rob so He decided I didn't really need gifts in that area!! He was gracious in giving me children that ARE gifted, however. Recently, Joel had a Spring Project at school which he had to take at least 16 hours to complete and this is what he came up with:

He received an A+ for his efforts which included a log sheet and an essay detailing the whole process and including any difficulties he had.

He was also involved in Bandstravaganza which is a culmination of two years of playing in the school band. Bandstravaganza involves many, if not all, of the primary schools across the ACT. It showcases years 6 through to 12 and it is absolutely amazing. By the time we got to year 12, we felt that we had been to a show put on by professionals.

Joel is getting ready for his year 6 graduation dinner and dance (line and ballroom dancing!!) and then he will put primary school behind him forever. Hopefully, he will look on these years with fondness. He is growing up now but I have other things to look forward to as he grows to manhood.
