First day S-U-C-C-E-S-S!

Ans never wants to commit to her occupation, this year she was very determined.  She added the medical school on her own.  I think she was missing the familiar!  She loves children and would make a great pediatrician.  She sets a goal and meets it!  I am excited to see what God has planned for her future.  




Ready to tackle her first day of middle school.  I am happy to report she LOVED it!  She said the first two hours were really hard, b/c she didn't know anyone, but after she met a couple of girls she was thrilled.  I loved hearing all about her day!  I'm so proud of her attitude during our transition.  She is ONLY looking at the "glass half full".   I am so thankful for this precious girl.  

Ready to meet their teachers!

Day One….178 to go! Mia 4th Grade

This girl dreams big and has the work ethic to achieve!  I am so excited to see what God has in mind for her.  




Our 9 year old is in 4th grade!  Time can slow down anytime!  She had a fantastic first day.  She met some new friends, and learned new processes and procedures.  She is ready to learn and enjoyed her day at her new school.  I am so proud of her little spirit.  She has embraced this move and change with a smile.  Even though she misses TN and what she is used to she is growing and figuring out that she can succeed with new opportunities.  

Early morning.  Leaving this morning at 6:50 for a 7:15 drop off.    School starts early in Arkansas!

Practice and Picture Day 2016-17 School Year


Mia wanted to wear her backpack with her school shirt.  She knew this wouldn't be the case on the first day!  Backpack yes….t-shirt no!




Ansley is going to middle school!  5th grade here she comes!  She is so excited.  We got  the call on Friday, she is on the Thunderbird team.  She is excited to be an Aviator.  Praying for this girl's heart and mind as she grows.  I'm praying for friends and her teachers so that they get to know this girl and her amazing heart.  I pray that tomorrow in the awkward moments she is solid in knowing she is not alone!




She's been chomped!

Taking a quick break!


Mia is in the last year of elementary school.  She is a 4th grade Gator.   It was so fun taking pictures of her.  She is excited an a little nervous for tomorrow morning.  She is ready to have friends!  This girl will move mountains.  I am praying for her precious spirit.  I hope she continues to live in pure joy and focus only on the positive.  Moving has certainly made this family grow.  We continue to trust God and His plan….even when it is hard.  


Thursday, 8.11.16, God showed up.  Our contract was accepted mid-day, there was space for the girls at their respective schools, they were enrolled and we attended the open house night, all within a couple of hours.   We are so thankful for a Heavenly Father that has perfect timing.   On Monday, 8.15.16, these girls will begin a new year in different buildings.   I know God has big plans for them!  I'm praying for easy transitions and JOY!
