This is a photo from our Valentine's Day breakfast.  Our family exchanged homemade valentines and ate crepes.

 Here's Gibson.  We ate breakfast at 6:30 am so Helen and Gibson could get to school on time, but everyone was cheerful.  It was a fun start to a fun day.

 This is the before photo of Becky's latest project: a jean quilt made from jeans she has saved since Sofi was a baby.   Most of the jeans are from Sofi's toddler and preschool days since all her jeans in the past 15 years or so have spandex in them and wouldn't make a good quilt.  Brandan donated a couple of his old jeans to have enough material for the quilt.  Becky has a similar pile of jeans saved for Abe and Helen.  Gibson almost always wears athletic pants or shorts so she hasn't decided what material to use to make him a quilt when he graduates. 

Gibson made a poster and a model of the sun for school.  His class is studying the solar system.  We learned some interesting facts from his research.  For example, the same photon of light that takes 8 minutes to go from the surface of the sun to the earth can take up to 100,000 years to get from the sun's core to its surface.

 Helen drew a diagram of the plan of salvation and explained it to her Beehive class today.
