Friday was “Art History” and project day.  After our lessons were done, we embarked on an art adventure.  Claire was napping, so we were able to devote a lot of time to our research and project.  Here is an interesting fact.  Did you know that the portrait of George Washington that is featured on the $1 bill was never actually completed?  Though over 70 copies by the artist and his daughter were sold during his [Gilbert Stuart’s] life, the original remained unfinished at the time of his death.  Very interesting….. Here are the fruits of our labor.

Well … You’d think we haven’t been up to much.  But that’s not true.  There is a “glitch” in the blog software that isn’t letting me upload photos right now.  Hmmm…..  So I can’t put up the photos of VBS, Pi’s Birthday, Science Experiments, Summer fun, Youth Group Service Projects…. nothin’.  I’m bummed.  Hopefully they will have this figured out soon and we’ll be off and running again.  Have a great week!!!
