We were all sooo excited for the school year to begin. John began school away from home for the first time. We spent a lot of time discussing, praying, and thinking about which school and which grade to put him into. There was a sense of peace when the decision was made, and then pure excitement while preparing for the big day.
One of the preparations included trading ownership of three bedrooms in the house. Sam and John each got their own room and Natalie moved into a room with a very big closet. This switch facilitated and necessitated some heavy cleaning and also decluttering of items and clothing.
After taking a good inventory of what we had, it was easier to see what we needed to buy. A few new outfits added to the fun and and is a great confidence booster to students starting a brand new year.
Larry chose to go into work late so that he could see everyone off on this very special occasion.
The summer was so hot, that we are ready for a touch of fall. This pretty morning offered just that!
Our High Schoolers posed for a picture while waiting for the bus.
Our youngest, and my only student this year was also beginning a new term on this day.
I had already ordered her books and planned her lessons. Now, I am looking forward to spending a wonderful year together.
Dear Lord, Please help all students, teachers and parents to grow in age and grace and wisdom this year. Please keep us safe and pure of heart and mind. Please help us all to know, love and serve You each day. Amen.
