A New School Year

Well, here we go ... ready or not!
This week brought the start to a new school year.
I have tried to start a tradition of picture taking, measuring and weighing the kids on the first day of school!
We have had a pretty good start to our school year.  Looking forward to the start of our co-op on Monday!
List of kidos in my class! ;) They have the BEST principal!

Michael Cash - Kindergarten


Jackson Ford - 3rd Grade


William Grant - 5th Grade


Shelby Herr - 7th Grade


Our first day was prayed over a lot.  My sweet husband brought me Starbucks on his way to the airport! Lots of patience and grace to begin the year!

Trip Home from Austin

I was writing an e-mail to update some family on our trip home, but then I just decided to post it! I will post more about our actual trip later!
Blurry picture, but cute! If anyone can help me clean up the pic, please let me know!
We were all excited about their first flight!

They did a good job coming home today.
I had some grace given to me:
my big bag was 51 lbs. - they let it slide,
they are getting strict on names, but the TSA guy didn't return me to the ticketing counter to put Jenifer instead of Christi on my ticket! :)
Two of my three checked bags were gone through by TSA - they left me a nice note in each - thankfully my coffee was still there!!!! They must have thought I was smuggling something! HA!

We had an adventure returning the rental in the rain -
getting through a longer security line -
a pretty full flight (where the seatbelt sign stayed on the WHOLE time, so we had to break the rules and get up because Michael was about to have an accident) -
Grant bumped a guys seat, and he wasn't so gracious -
pick up luggage - shuttle to van - load van - drive home!
Waiting for the shuttle ... wearing out Team Emmet gear.
Praying for Emmet & Wendy as they go through another round of chemo today!

Each child said it is good to be home - Home Sweet Home!
(I do think Grant said he would have loved to have stayed with Uncle Kevin!)

Fed them lunch and I took a nap! John's flight was cancelled, so he is stuck in TX. We are hoping he will get home at 10 tonight (was supposed to get in at 8:15), and we ALL look forward to a good night's rest in our beds!

Quick Member Morning Trip to the Zoo

We love to go to the Nashville Zoo on member mornings.  There is no crowd and we get to ride the carousel for free.  I still have to ride with Michael, so I usually can only do it twice before I feel too loopy.

Shelby and Michael on the carousel.

 Jack, our friend - Samuel and Grant.

The crew!

 This evening we had a cookout with our sweet Community Group friends.
We have enjoyed our year of fellowship at the Raetz home.
Grant loves little Graham.

Our world!

Well ... the news of Nashville's flooding goes on and on and on! So many friends have been effected!
In the middle of all of this, we have had two exciting events we have not recognized! See the pics for more info! :)

Jack lost his first tooth last week!


Shelby before!

Thank you, Ms. Jennifer!

Community Bible Study - End of the Year Program

  

The last two years we have participated in Community Bible Study on Fridays at Clearview Baptist Church in Franklin.  This year we studied Genesis, and we all learned so much.
At Christmas and the end of the year the kids do programs.  They all participate, and we love to see what they have learned from scripture to songs!

Recorder Concert

Shelby and Grant took a beginner recorder class this spring.  They did an excellent job in class and practicing on their own.  This concert was a chance for us to hear what the group had accomplished!
Good job Shelby and Grant!

Walking in to play.
 Getting ready.
 Testing it out.
 Michael wasn't feeling well.  Can you tell?
 Getting ready to head out.
