First day of school

I am so thankful the kids started school a day earlier than me. There is no way I could have gotten myself ready and them as well. Everyone had their first day outfit on and got up fairly easy. Roy and Lynette were so kind to fix us bacon and toast for breakfast.

This year each one of them had a first. Baylee started her freshman year in high school.

Baylee, even though we didn't walk you into school today, we were thinking about you just the same as you started your first day in high school.  We are praying you have a year filled with joy and excitement and that this year would be just the beginning of all the fun high school can bring. 

Koby started his first day in junior high.

Koby, junior high can be a tough few years as you navigate your way through finding who you are, but we are praying that you look to God to see who He created you to be. Always know that that is enough...no matter what the world says!

Kelby and Troy both started their first day of 2nd grade at a new school.

Kelby, we hope your first day at a new school was not too scary. We are so proud of your bravery in new situations. We pray you have a great year in 2nd grade!

Troy, we loved seeing you walk right in to your class today. You are really starting to come out of your shell. We pray that your year in 2nd grade is full of fun and new experiences.

Teague started his first day of Kindergarten.

Teague, you sure did make today even more difficult by screaming and crying when we dropped you off! But we were relieved when the school called mid-morning to let us know you were all smiles again. You are so social and we know you are going to love school and love learning. 

Our biggest prayer for each one of you is that you seek to find who God made you and then walk in that with confidence. Be a leader where God has put you and always choose compassion as you interact with those around you. School can be tough, but we know God has great plans starting even now for each of you. We love you!
