All four In

Tuesday, August 14th, we got the chance to go meet our new Teachers for the year

This is Owen and his big sista's standing outside his new K classroom. I don't think it was quite sinking in for little man. :-)

Twas the Night before School

We celebrated with special chocolate pudding parfaits!

Jenks Middle School and Jenks East Intermediate

Someone mentioned that it looks dark outside...that's because it IS dark outside! Will catches the bus at 6:50 a.m. and Daddy leaves to take Abby to school at 7. Good Morning!!!

I love that smile of his!

(he just got braces a couple of weeks ago)

Abs ran into one of her BF's on way in - they are sooo excited that they get to eat lunch together this year! Abby has Mrs. Kennedy ~ we've heard rave reviews and just loved her when we met her!

My 3rd Grader and Kindergartener (is that a word??)

Big boy backpack

Pretending they love and adore each other ;-)

"you and me buddy"

This Momma is so very thankful to have my two babies at the same school. Truly an answer to prayer! However, due to house situation - it may not be lasting. STILL waiting to hear back as to whether our contract is accepted by seller's bank. "Short Sales" are NOT "short!" 6 + weeks and holding...

under his breath..."Mom - why are you taking so many pictures?!"

Monday, August 20th was my first full day alone at home since the kids started school. I'll have to say, it was a verrry strange feeling to have quiet for that long. I can't say I won't get use to it (grin), but it was quite bizarre. No one to ask me for food. No one tattling on another. Nobody playing their music too loud. No one asking for a playdate. Nobody to check in at the gym. As crazy as my fab four can make me, I feel a part of me missing when they are not around. A new major role in raising them has become one of prayer. When teachers get to have your children as much as or more than you, you are left with the humbling act of prayer. "The prayers of a righteous Momma are powerful and effective!" James 5:16  Thank you Father for your promises!
