First Day of School 8-14-17

We enjoy summer to its fullest every year!  The first day always brings an early morning and sleepy girls!   I am so thankful they both love school and had a great first week.  Mia is on Team Thunderbird (Mr. Knoble, Mrs. Tessoro, and Mrs. Cox). This was Ansley's team last year, a perfect fit for our girl.   Ansley is on Team Rocketeers (Mrs. Burgess, Mr. Anderson, and Mrs. Kewan).  She is getting to experience pre-ap classes in Literacy, Science and Social Studies.  We are praying that God continues to grow our girls in the way He created them!  We are very proud of our sweet Middle Schoolers! 

Ready for the 2017-18 School Year!

Backpacks are stocked and ready for the first day of school!

The girls love getting to pick out their new stuff for the first day!

A little love when they meet their teachers!

Both girls are at the same school this year!  Ansley is  ready for 6th grade!

Mia is offically a Middle Schooler!   What happened to our baby?  Look out 5th grade she is ready to shine!

I love that they will be together this year!

Family Photos 2017

While we were in Minonk, we had Sarah (our almost niece, by marriage) take our family photos.  We were way over due!  Here are a few of the ones we love!  We cannot wait for her to join our family!  

Sales Team!

The girls set up a stand on the golf course to sell cookies, lemonade, and golfballs (pure profit, all found in our yard)!   They learned a lot!  1.  You have to be up early to catch the crowd.   2.  Location...Location...Location  3.  Relationships are everything!

A fun way to spend a Saturday!

Celebrating Nanny

The girls and I made a quick trip to SC to celebrate mom's 70th birthday!  What a blessing she is to us.  I am so thankful that God chose me to be her daughter.   She also had her gallbladder removed and is recovering beautifully!   Here's to another great year!
