Homeschool Room Update!

Our homeschool room was in need of an update and refresh. The paint on the walls was in horrible condition. Anytime I used tape or poster putty, marks were left on the wall so it was crazy dirty. I decided to try some peel and stick wallpaper rather than repainting at this time. I love the way it came out!

After I took these pictures I ordered another roll and finished the wall with the white board. I plan to paint the wainscoting white like I did in the dining room eventually, too. 

It feels so much cleaner and fresher now! 
 

The Kingdom Connection Round 2

In 2016 Gabe and Selah were in our church's production of The Kingdom Connection. This year Mig and Faith got their turn!



Mig played the "punky", sarcastic part of Josiah. He had to work hard not to look too friendly! 



Faith was a dancer.



Look at all that personality! 














They had an awesome week and totally rocked their performances!

Louisiana Day 3

 

On day 3 of our Louisiana trip we packed up the RV and headed out to one more cemetery. It was down a narrow dirt road. That is fun to pull an RV down! HA!
 





But we made it. Byron really wanted a picture of the RV in front of the cemetery. 


This cemetery had the cutest old church, too! 





The church was unlocked, and so we explored it. 


The ceiling is falling down and the fans look like they were melted. 



This sign brought back all kinds of memories!





The church made an awesome photo op! 



This picture is now a canvas that hangs in our house!






This is not a relative, but I was intrigued by the simplicity of the headstone. 



Sally was very hard to find - she was separate from the other Grahams. 









It was an interesting and memorable trip. During the weekend, Nicol found out that she and Byron are related to a Native American chief! She has even been in contact with the tribe! Very interesting!
