First Days of School






Haley and Evan are off to another year of school. Haley is in 1st Grade at Smith Elementary and has Ms. Dockweiler as a teacher. She loves her new teacher and is getting to know the kids in her class. From 18 kids last year, she only has 1 kid in her new class. We certainly feel God's hand in it though, since it turns out that we will be moving to Richardson this fall. God is stretching her and shaping her as He helps her be a person who can make new friends.

She is so positive about everything and I love seeing how she is handling all the change in our lives right now. Just when I think it is too much for everyone, sweet Haley is there to remind me that she is excited to move and meet new friends.

Evan started preschool and goes two days a week. Even though he is super out going and fun once we leave the building, it has been a rough start with some tears at drop off this year. Even though we have been here before, it is still hard to see your little ones sad when you leave. After last year's pushing me out of the classroom I guess I should be thankful that he likes me again!

So, we sold our house in Frisco and are moving to Coit and Arapaho (in Richardson/North Dallas) in mid October. We have already purchased a complete fixer' upper and the renovations have begun. Its funny how you are ready for things to happen until they do and now I am trying to just trust each day that we have made the right choices and that God has this whole move under control.

With house pictures to come....
