Boy Scouts and Bachelor's Degree

    To begin with, I received my Bachelor's Degree in the mail this past week.  I graduated with honors (cum laude).   It was a Bachelor in Fine Arts in Visual Communications Degree with a concentration in Digital Design.  I just reapplied to the university to undertake my Master's Degree program.  I am going for a Master's in Education degree with a focus on curriculum and instruction for educators.  This doesn't really pertain to anything...I just wanted to share this accomplishment with you.  :-)

     Also, tonight was a special ceremony with our Boy Scout troop.  Tonight we held a ceremony because one of the new boys to the troop earned his right to be called a Scout tonight and earned his Scout badge.  We had the ceremony, which my son Brandon (who is the Senior Patrol Leader) got to perform and then had cake and punch. It was really nice and we really enjoyed it.  Here are some pictures from the ceremony:

                                           Some of the friends and family there to watch the ceremony.

    Well, thank you for letting me share.

In Christ,

Our School Room

Hi, everyone. 

Well, our school building had to be put off for a bit so we converted a bedroom to our school room and we all absolutely LOVE how it turned out.  We are also excited because we now have a trumpet and 2 violins that we will be teaching our boys how to play. 

I hope you enjoy seeing the pictures.

In Christ,
Melody

Proverbs 22:6 and Homeschooling

I have had a few people inquiring about the name of my blog.  Proverbs 22:6 reads:  "Train up a child in the way he should go,  And when he is old he will not depart from it".  My husband and I feel it is very important to raise our children in a Christian environment and raise them biblically.  We are also home schoolers and base our education of our children the same way.  I felt it was only appropriate to name my blog to let others know how I feel.
