I did get a picture of Ty with his certificate...after the first pic he said he felt like he was posing for a mug shot and then turned for shot #2...seen below.
These pictures are from April, but I didn't have a card reader to put them on the internet...
Eric is in Rotary Club here in Wentzville & they were having an exchange program where some of the Rotary International members wanted to come to the US, so we decided being a host family would be a great opportunity for our family to learn more about Turkey. The girls, Funda Yuksel & Ozgecan Ozenc, were very sweet and we really enjoyed having them.

Grant's classmate, Jake, who is VERY into soccer, was thrilled to meet some people from people from Turkey.

We took them to our church. They were very interested in our religion. I always forget the images upload in the reverse order, so there are 2 of the boys all together. Here are the boys on their first day of school. Grant's in 8th grade, Ty's in 7th and Drew's in all day Kindergarten! I love their school and am thrilled that they will all be in the same school this year!

Looking forward to another great year at Immanuel!!We had our family pictures taken a couple of days ago with my very talented friend, Laurie. I love them! Can't wait to have them up on my walls.
I know it's been forever since I've posted...what can I say, things have been pretty crazy here. My first semester back to school was quite busy. I wanted to take a minute to post the report cards that Grant and Ty just pulled off the school website...what an amazing job!! The last quarter they both had over a 98%!! We are so proud of you both and all the hard work you put in this year!!!
Eric and I attended the Blizzard Ball this past weekend. I was so excited that I only paid $12 for my dress! I did have to send the pictures to my friends to make sure the dress looked ok - I knew Eric was going to vote on that one regardless of what it looked like on me because of the price. Eric borrowed his tie from a neighbor so the event didn't end up costing us much at all! We left fairly early with some people from school who were at the event and played games over at our neighbors for a bit. Haven't been posting much...Life has gotten a bit crazy these days!
Grant and Ty both got new glasses last week and I've been meaning to post a picture, but it's been a little crazy around here. I think Grant's finally gotten used to wearing glasses again - his vision isn't quite as bad as Ty's - Ty never takes his off. Hopefully Grant will hang on to this pair!
