First Day of School!




Today was our 1st day of school : ) I'm still amazed that we have a 4th grader, a 2nd grader, a Kindergartener and a little toddler baby walking around! I'm grateful that we get to teach our girls at home ~ how amazing that we get to watch them learn and grow every day! I really love to see the sparkle in their little eyes when they learn something new. What a gift to be able to be with my best little girlfriends all day! (God is so good!) Of course we have our moments of chaos like everyone else but I want to be right in the middle of it all! We had a great first day and our girlies were very happy and eager to learn. Our little Ava took a great 2-hour nap this morning so Mommy was able to teach Amy, Ashley & Abby each one-on-one. When Ava woke up, each of our big girls had "Ava time" where they played with her and "took care of" her! (They have created what they call the "baby-safe" area in the corner of our living room to keep Ava safe!) They're so sweet and such great helpers and Ava is such a sweet and happy baby! We're looking forward to a great school year. Hopefully our little girlies will learn as much as Mommy does! : )

Yay for the first day of school! I pray your year goes well as you have 3 little girls to teach - wow! (I will probably be calling you when I get to that point! Ha! Just schooling Caleb can seem like a lot at times!)
