Jenna's Front Tooth


Jenna lost her first front tooth last night - Daddy pulled it out with dental floss when she wasn't looking. Jenna was excited until she realized that the tooth fell out of the dental floss and was lost somewhere on the living room carpet. I told her she could write the tooth fairy a note and tell her what happened to the tooth to make sure that she still collected her $$, but Jenna wanted to take it to school and show her teacher and her friends so the hunt was on!! After about 20 minutes of searching and Mommy giving up....Daddy found the tooth under the couch. She now has an adorable goofy grin!!

Generous Giver

This year in chapel the elementary classes are focusing on attributes that believers possess as followers of Christ. Once a month a "Living Inside Out" award is given to one student in each class. This month the award is Generous Giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7 - "Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver" - giver of time, talents, and treasure to God's work.

This month - Jenna was chosen to be the Generous Giver in her class! This is what her teacher, Mrs. Cooper, wrote and what was said about her at the award presentation:

"Jenna is a generous giver of her time by willingly helping others with an assignment or project. If someone needs to borrow something, she is one of the first to offer her supplies. She also uses her talent of singing to bless others in our classroom. Jenna truly is a generous and cheerful giver!"

We are so proud of her!
