Year 2, Day 13

May 3

Today was the Pathfinder Rocket Launch! Lots of fun.

Year 2, Day 6

April 26

We had one of our Pathfinders over today to work on her Fire Building & Camp Cookery honor. We had to boil, fry, simmer, cook in foil, bake bread on a stick, and cook something in a reflector oven. So, in that order, we made eggs, potatoes, chili beans, corn on a knob,  campfire biscuits, and individual pizzas.

This honor is a required one for the older group known as Voyager. But since it was at our house, and doesn't have any particular prerequisites, we let Hannah & Sarah tag along, too.

Day 353

Hannah got this cute lollipop from her secret sister at church last Sabbath.

Lunch with my Hannah today. Silly girl.

The pathfinder club is working on the booth for the upcoming Pathfinder Fair. Here's Hannah adding a bit to the "sun" for our space theme Model Rocketry display.

Day 326

Hannah's new glasses came today. She loves them!

Day 324

March 11

At Pathfinders, we're working on the Model Rocketry honor. Here's Hannah with her rocket so far.

Day 323

March 10

Hannah made corn bread for dinner tonight. It was very good!

Day 319

The only howl rooms we could find in Crescent City, CA only had one bed. So we packed our camping cots for the girls. Our room is quite small, so Sarah's cot is right next to the door. At the end of Hannah's cot, we have about 6" to walk past on the way to the restroom. Oh well. We're looking forward to a glorious Sabbath on the coast tomorrow! Perhaps some letterboxing, maybe some hunting for agates. Definitely the picnic lunch we packed. Can't wait!

Day 316

March 3

Hannah baked some crusty bread to go with the vegetable soup she's making for dinner tonight. These two loaves will barely make it through dinner with our crowd, I'm sure!

Day 309

February 24

Hannah made dinner tonight. Alfredo bowtie pasta.

Day 287

Hannah had another visit to the orthodontist today. The gap between her front teeth is decreasing on its own as her other teeth move in, which is good news. Next visit: September.

Day 285

January 31

Hannah helped lead the praise music for Pathfinder Sabbath at the other church in Medford.

Day 268

January 14

Hannah is still reading to Great Mom every week, and doing a great job.

Day 256

January 2

Another busy couple of days and the only picture I took was this quilt top kit I wanted to list for sale.

Nope. I found another picture. Hannah made the cottage cheese loaf for Sabbath potluck. 

Day 254

December 31 (turning January 1)

Had a fun game night with friends, preparing to ring in the new year. At midnight we set off some firecrackers. Here's Hannah with a Roman candle. Supervised, of course!

Day 248

Merry Christmas!

Day 247

Merry Christmas Eve!  Here's Hannah with a batch of mint chocolate brownies that she made from scratch for tonight at my parent's house.

Day 244

December 21

I'm so glad my girls make good choices when we go to buffet style restaurants. This is Hannah's plate. Sarah started with a salad, too.

Day 243

December 20

Sorry for the gap in pictures. We were mostly sick all week, and I was slammed trying to get caught up at work. I just never took any pictures!

This afternoon the Children's Ministries department at church put together 20 bags of essentials (toiletries, first aid supplies, warm socks, hats, gloves, etc., plus some non-perishable ready-to-eat healthy foods, etc.) for homeless in the area. Then they split up into a couple groups and went to visit several of our church members who are shut-ins, and sang some Christmas carols for them.
