New Beginnings

Well, Monday, August 13, 2012 the kids started a new school year.  I, for one, was not ready for summer to be over....I was happy to have all 3 kids out of full time daycare....Jon and I just got a more than $500.00 a month raise!!
Josh started 7th grade and is currently playing first team offense for Loftis Middle School JV team. He plans on trying out for basketball and baseball, when the time comes, of course...
Katelyn has started 2nd grade (the grade Josh was in when we made the move from Texas to Tennessee).  Her teachers name is Mrs. Smith, she is a Christian and she is already thriving in her class...bringing in a 105 on this weeks spelling test and a "practically perfect purple" in behavior and class participation.  She is also playing fall softball and will be joining in the girl scouts with her first meeting this Thursday.
Heston has started Kindergarten and yesterday asked his teacher why they didn't take naps.  The boy is tired!  Overall, he is adjusting well. He too is doing great. His teacher is Mrs. Wheeler (who is in physical therapy for a recently broken leg) and she too is a Christian.  He is playing football too, and for the most part likes it!
Here are their mug shots from the first day of the 2012-2013 school year...

Overall, all of the staff and teachers that the kids have had are, in fact, true Christians.  They even make homework and athletic considerations on Wednesdays for church.  We have been and are blessed since they attend public schools.
