Picture This!

While May was unseasonably cool in northern Illinois this year, the girls and I found plenty of fun activities indoors.  We had an exceptionally crafty month.

From September through May the girls and I have taken part in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF; http://bsfinternational.org).  We have been so truly blessed by this program and all of the wonderful ladies and children that we have met along the way.  It takes a very special person along with much dedication to be a children's leader.  The children's leaders have an important role: to shepherd Jesus' little lambs.  During class, the children would often sing a song entitled, I Am Jesus' Little Lamb.  I thought it would be fitting to take photos of each of my girls with their lambs.  They loved decorating the foam frames for their teachers.

We always try to create something handmade for the grandmas for Mother's Day.  You know how grandmas love that sort of thing.  The girls picked out some fun flower embellishments and adhered them nicely to the frames.  I had fun editing the photos to give them an antique look and then matting them.

What do you get for a teacher as an end-of-the-year gift?  A framed photo and a poem?  Teachers, especially preschool teachers, have such a huge, all-encompassing job.  It is hard to find a gift that really expresses adequate appreciation and gratitude for all that they are and all that they do.  My 3-year-old had an EXTRAordinary teacher this year.  Thanks to Mrs. Scheffers, school is a wonderful and inviting place.  What a fun year it has been!  It is hard to believe the end is here.
