Kindergarten & First Grade

We have had an exciting week with Adelyn entering kindergarten and Annabelle starting first grade! Adelyn only had to go one day this week and we were all thankful for that! Both of the girls picked out their own clothes for their first day and they loved being able to do that! And of course we enjoyed cookies after school!

Annabelle has been to first grade all week; she has been tired but has seemed to adjust well! I think me and Abraham are having the hardest time knowing the girls are not home to play with us!

I'm super excited about this year! The girls both have wonderful wonderful teachers and are going to have a great year!!

Star of the Week

Annabelle was Star of the Week last week! She was so pumped. I didn't realize she had this going on until Thursday of the week before and so with a jam packed weekend ahead, we ended up on the Walgreen floor making her poster while waiting for the pictures to print. Nonetheless, she loved it and it worked out great! Thankful for this little star! 

A little of lately

Menagerie Farm Field Trip!

Me and my girl had a blast at the farm for her kindergarten field trip! And since its Thankful Tuesday I'll just go ahead and say I'm so thankful I could go with her and that Abe was great! 

We got to pick pumpkins and go on a hay ride. We fed fish and listened to a speal about wild life. It was all a blast! I still cannot believe she's in kindergarten! Time flies! 

Thankful

Whew! The past couple weeks have been full! These pictures don't even close to cover it! We have celebrated Adam's 31st b-day, Annabelle's 6th, abe got his first haircut, and lala came to visit us, Adelyn completed her first round of gymnastics, Annabelle had DEAR day at school, Adelyn had dress like a community helper day. We got a trampoline and we all love love it!

God has showed out in so many ways in my personal time with Him. He is ever chiseling. I have been reminded so much lately of this verse: "Remember the things I have done for you in the past! For I alone am God! I am God and there is none like me! Isaiah 46:9. Sometimes I fall back into old patterns because I forget where I have been and what all God has done for me. I don't want to do that. I want to live remembering the ways God has proved faithful and the ways that He has given me His strength and power in my weakness.

I am so thankful for all of the little blessings He gives to me like being able to take Adelyn to gymnastics, getting to be AB's room mom and getting to get Abraham out of his bed from naps all day. I am so thankful I am able to stay home and although it can be so tiring I never want to have an attitude of taking it for granted. Reminding myself of all of the things I am thankful for helps me to keep perspective. And when I look at a week (or two weeks) at a time of what all I have enjoyed and can thank God for I am always overwhelmed at His goodness to me! 

That my glory may sing your praises and not be silent! Oh Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever! Psalm 30:13
