Lucas' first day of "pre"school!

I am in filled with mixed emotion as I write this. Lucas - my sweet baby boy..... isn't a baby anymore :(. We put him in a Mothers Day Out program in our church. It's 2 days a week a few hours a day. We just finished our 2nd week and he is still crying when I drop him off, but I am convinced it will get better! I have to admit - I get SO much more things accomplished at my house with him in school! :)
He learns a letter each week, he has a science class, math class, and religion class. I am very excited about our curriculum this year! I can't wait to see what all he learns!

Hannah's first day of 7th grade!

I can NOT BELIEVE I have a daughter in the 7th grade! The craziness of the school season has begun! That's good and bad! Good because I will have a TON of more free time to blog. Bad ... not bad, but BUSY! Hannah schedule will include: the pressures of 7th grade studies, peer pressure in full effect, youth group activities at our church, she qualified for honors band (YAY -WAY TO GO GIRL!!!) - so that means a TON of concerts, now in athletics - she tried out for volleyball, but didn't make the cut - BUT made PDL - which means she is not "off season"... she obviously has some skills and will continue to work with a coach to improve and hopefully get to join one of the teams, cross country, soccer, AND gymnastics... NOT TO MENTION: a social life - whew! I would not trade one drop of sweat for this though. I love watching her go through all of these fun life changes. It takes me back! It's such an awkward age, but still so sweet and innocent.
Hannah is my rock - I'm not sure where I would be without my sweet girl! I am honored to be her mom!
