Out of Order Post

I'm not sure how I didn't post our Last Day of School!  Here they are!

Last Day of School 2016

Ansley's last day of 4th Grade.  This girl was a high achiever and had great success.  

Mia's last day of 3rd Grade.  What a fantastic year she had.  

Breakfast at Chick-fil-A to celebrate our final day!

Mrs. Lewis, what a blessing she has been to us!  She was my co-worker and Ansley's Gifted teacher this year.  We are all better because she touched our lives. 

Mrs. Freebern and sweet Emma!  Love these peeps!

Mrs. Freebern showing Mia some love.  

Ansley, Mrs. Meikrantz and baby Knox on the very last day!

Sweet friends, Izzy and Mia

There are no words for this sweet friendship.  We love Jack and he knows it!  So thankful for this little guy!  He truly helps us all be more kind.  

What a heartfelt class gift presented to Mia.  All of the kids in her class outlined the state of TN with their finger prints.  Mrs. Freebern's is right on Hendersonville, we will NEVER forget our years here!

No Words….look at those faces!

Sweet Class

Mrs. Angel, She loves our girl

Goofy girls!

AP in her Rx sunglasses! Her future is bright

On The Move….Step 1

I remember taking a similar picture 4 years ago, thinking, "How would we ever  feel at home in a new place?"   Lots of tears were cried and so much faith was needed in those days.  Well….here we are again.  We are trusting in God's plan for our lives and I know that He has every detail already taken care of.  Honestly though, this is a tough process.  We love where we live and know we are leaving.  Everything in this world if fleeting, moving is just a physical reminder of exactly that!   We are officially on the market tomorrow, praying for God's perfect timing in every step of this process!  I am so very thankful to know that God walks before us and will be with us wherever we live!  

Baking Championship

I love these little bakers!  Brownie cupcakes with frosting!

VBS Classroom

These precious girls were so helpful all week!  Thankful for their hearts to serve. 

Ansley and Mia completed the bulletin board.  I laugh, b/c they have created so many classroom decorations in their little lives!  The joys of being a teacher's kid. 

What a fantastic week of VBS.  Over 2,000 kids attended each day this week.  What a JOY to share the good news of Jesus!

Bubbles!!!!

We have had an amazing week at VBS.  It has been a busy week of  fun and not a minute to spare.  This evening the girls got to have some down time and enjoyed their bubble machine.  We will finish with VBS tomorrow.  What a gift it is to attend a church that invests well in the Kingdom of God.  

1st Swim Meet 2016

Grace got to join us for our first swim meet!   We love this girl.  

Mia setting up!

Mia's events for the day!

Ansley's events for the day!

Swim is my favorite activity of the year!  The girls love it as much as I do!   We have such great friends and it is an amazing team sport where the real competitor is yourself.   So this year was a first for us.  S. had to miss (travel schedule), so it was the girls and I, Sharpless Strong….setting up, managing the day, and tearing down, not to mention swimming fast and me volunteering for the event.  I am so thankful for responsible kids.  I am so proud that they both pushed themselves to finish new events, and to accept the challenges in the pool.  For me….our league is using a new computer system, so my patience were tried, it was a LOOONNNGGG day!   Fairvue Flippers won the event!   Until  Tuesday at the the pool again…….
