Be Strong and Courageous

I cannot believe that it is past mid-September and fall is just a day away. The kids have been in school 3 weeks and we seem to all just be exhausted. Soccer and Ballet, youth group, MOPS the every day tasks seem to just be sucking the hours right out of our days. Of course the kids are glad to be back at school with their friends and yet not really enjoying the homework aspect of it all. We have been having major computer issues and hoping that they are resolved for now. I hope to add some photos soon and catch you up on all the other news in life. God Bless all of you .- Love Nicole

Well it finally arrived - 6 am this morning - up and Andrew , Emma and Mommy time to get ready for school. We were out the door by 710 and on our way to drop Andrew to his 2 ND year at the Intermediate school and begin 6 Th grade. This year he will have Mr Jonas, he was kind of glad to have a guy teacher. Oh yes and it started raining just in time for the drive in. Emma's school does not start until 855 so we had some time to kill, and came home. Addysen was a bit upset because she was pretty sure that she was going to get to stay the day at school as well ( she even got her own backpack last night - it is pint size). Emma got the teacher that I asked for by the skin of her teeth due to enrollment, but it was so nice to walk in and have her greet Emma by saying that her 3rd grade teacher had said so many nice things about her she couldn't wait to meet her. I pray they are able to reconnect with friends quickly and form new friendships as well. pictures coming soon.
