Back To School





Today was the first day back to school for the girls. Faith has actually been going to the Preschool Summer Program since the beginning of August, but this was the official start for both of them. Baby Faith is thrilled to be in Pre-K this year, and has decided she will be able to read books by herself in 6 days. She is also glad to be one of the "big kids" in the preschool this year.

Grace is wearing a shirt she and Grammie picked out while we were in DC, although this shirt is more Gracie's choice than Grammie's. Still, she says that it is her favorite of her new clothes and that she is really thankful that she was with Grammie, because Mama would not have let her have this particular shirt. We can't believe she is starting 2nd grade- the time is flying by.

Anyway, we look forward to a great year for both of the girls. We are thankful that they enjoy school, and that they are able to be in a Christian school right now. If anyone ever has a lot of time, give Faith a call and ask her to tell you about Daniel in the Lion's Den. It is a very descriptive paraphrase.

Thanks for the pictures! Grace is correct, I know from experience Mom's are too practical when it comes to purchasing clothing. Grammie's on the other hand can do whatever we want. They both are looking so grown up, and Papa and I are very proud of them. Just as we prayed for each of our children, we pray this year will be even better than last year, there will be special friendships, great teachers, and the ability to learn all they can and have fun doing it!
