National Lutheran School's Week

Our family is so incredibly blessed to have the ability to send our children to a Lutheran school. St. Paul's is filled with wonderful faculty and staff. I am so grateful to have my children surrounded by teachers whose love for their Savior is evident in all they do and say. I am also thankful to work there myself:).

This past week St. Paul's celebrated Lutheran School's Week. If our school raised $800.00 or more in a Penny Challenge for A Place of Refuge, the Principal, 5th grade teacher and 6th grade teacher would all shave their heads. Well, guess what:)? We made our goal. The students were ecstatic to see some of their favorite gentlemen BALD! It was great!

Febraury and March mark busy months for my family. We have 7 birthdays that we celebrate (8 including Mom's cat:)). We always try to get everyone together one Saturday and have a nice gathering. This year it took place on February 28th at my mom's house. Uncle Bill & Aunt Sandy, Uncle Tony & Aunt Charlene, Cousin Stephanie, Dave & Rosa, Grandma Dorothy and our family attended. It was great to see everyone and spend time together. We praise God for the gift of family.

Independence is Imminent

It is difficult for me to face, but my Princess is getting older and is asserting her independence, among other things, daily.



Mom! These don't match!

Is this right, Mommy?

WHY....WON'T....THIS.....GO....ON?!

Almost there!

Mission accomplished!

I'm exhausted! Give me my nukie!

The Men vs. The Boys

Dad and Isaiah, the opponents

At the end of the basketball season at St. Paul's, the players face off with the parents, or in this case, it was the dads. Steve and Isaiah enjoyed a memorable evening of basketball together with the other players and Dads. BTW, the dads won:). All the families closed out the season by enjoying some pizza and cake in the fellowship hall.

Happy 8th Birthday Ben!

Happy Birthday to you!

Make a wish, Benny

That's one delicious brownie!

Can you make your eyes a little bigger?

We love our silly boy:)

Monday, February 16th, marked the 8th birthday of our handsome, hilarious, humorous middle child, Ben. He is such a blessing to our family and is always looking for a way to make us laugh. We are so thankful to our Lord and Savior for the 8 years He has granted us with him and we look forward to many more. I love you, my sweet boy!

The month of February always marks a fun day for the Scheuer family and my mom. The boys have one Monday in February off of school and I take a personal day and we spend the day at the Mitchell Park Domes marveling at the train show they have every year in the show dome. We end our time together by Mom treating us to lunch at Old Country Buffet, a favorite restaurant of my boys (and me). We always have such a great time and the kids really enjoy the chance to spend time with Grandma Dorothy.
