Spirit Week

Spirit week gave the fifteen year old several opportunities to show her LC spirit. There was black & white day, fashion disaster day, an 80's day, movie day, and blue & white day. On Friday she was choosen as the "Sophmore Princess" by LC's Student Council.

I love her randomness...

"MARA" Means Bitter

In the Bible the word "MARA" (marah) means bitter. For the fifteen year old the word MARA also means bitter. Today she had a MARA installed in her mouth as a part of her orthodontic journey. It was a gruesome adventure...and her mouth is incredibly sore, but it's in and she's a trouper!

Actually MARA stands for "Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance". It was installed to correct her overbite. She will now endure 18 months with her MARA, and all I can say is it had better be worth it!

Feeding Bert

Ok, my camera takes really bad pictures in the barn but did want to document that the boys really enjoy going out to the barn to feed Bert...and he always enjoys the attention!
...and of course the hay!

For Isaiah the best part is climbing around on the hay, and it was stacked in such a way that he could throw hay over the top to Bert...or should I say "on" Bert!

Self-Portrait

Every now and then the fifteen year old feels the need for another self-portrait.

Memories of Grandpa Likkel

Britt noticed Grandma Likkel wasn't using this shed to store her lawnmower in any more so he asked if he could load it up and take it to his house...and she happily let him. This little storage shed has many memories for Britt.

When Britt was a young boy Grandpa Likkel built it...and he let Britt help. It means so much for him to have it now as a memory of the many wonderful days spent with Grandpa working on the farm. In many wonderful ways those farm days were foundational in Britt's life. He honed many life skills working side by side with Grandpa.
