Confirmation

May 22, 2023

Maxwell and the group of 6th graders at Cathedral Church of the Advent have been going through confirmation class the past several months. It’s been quite a commitment and I’m been so proud of how Maxwell has upheld that commitment! He only missed Sunday confirmation class two times – once because he was sick and once for a scout campout. They also went on a weekend retreat. Yesterday was confirmation day and Robert and I actually decided to get confirmed and join the Advent as well. Ronnie was Maxwell’s sponsor and everyone was able to come in town for the service and lunch at the club after.

It was a special morning and I’m glad we could all be together. I guess we’re Episcopalian now! ha! The denomination doesn’t matter much to me but what does matter is that the kids have a good church home with a thriving youth group and lots of buddies. Advent fits that bill and we’re happy to be there!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Scouts

May 18, 2023

Scouts has wrapped up for the spring and Maxwell promoted up to Second Class and has earned 12 merit badges so far!

As part of the Family Life badge he did a complete cleanup of the playroom and donated a ton of old toys. Very helpful!!

He also learned about CPR in the First Aid badge…

and is becoming quite the cook on campouts! I think he’s getting famous for his fettuccini alfredo (His secret? lots of butter!)

He was recognized at the Court of Honor last week for his accomplishments.

Dance recital

May 16, 2023

Last week we got to watch our dancer shine on the stage again! She knew her dances, the kept the biggest smile on her face, and she lit up the stage!! Unfortunately Robert and Spencer had to miss out because of Spencer’s baseball game but GJ, Susan, Maxwell and I were there to cheer her on!

Sitting through the whole dance recital is also more fun with buddies!! Thankful Maxwell had a friend there too.

Samantha’s ballet number – “A Whole New World” was near the beginning and she was front and center the whole time!

We then had to sit through about an hour and a half of other performances before it was finally time for her tap routine to “What’s My Name”. It was worth the wait though!!

I sadly think this is Samantha’s last year doing dance. She just doesn’t love it…and I don’t love the style of dance the girls do as they get older…so it’s the right decision. I’ve so enjoyed watching her dance though and glad she stuck with it as long as she did!

Samantha just shines in whatever she does and I love getting to be a spectator to it all!

Great job, Samantha! We are so proud of you!
