Goodbye summer...Hello school! :(


Yesterday, was the start of the school year and the rainy, dreary weather matched my emotions for the day!! We had the best summer!!! I LOVED having my girls home! I loved our lack of schedule. I loved lazy mornings snuggling, reading and deciding spur of the moment what we wanted to do for the day! I   loved watching the four of them just being together and it made me so sad to let TWO of them go!! The state of Michigan now requires kindergarten to be all day (for public schools who want funding)... so Monreau is going ALL day!!!! It's way to much!! I'm still struggling with sending her. 

But... I did my best to set aside my emotions and encourage them in their excitement! Shaelyn loves school and couldn't wait to see her friends! She loves to read and is hoping 2nd grade is full of books :). Monreau always works so hard to keep up with Shaelyn and her cousins and she was thrilled to finally be joining them at Chandler Woods! They were all smiles :) 


School starts at 8am! Ready or not here we go.... :)

Yay for 2nd Grade!!! 
 Such a sweet girl!

 When I asked them Tuesday morning what they specifically wanted me to pray for during the day they  both said "That we see each other at recess!!" They were thrilled when they did :). Love how they love each other!
 2nd, 5th, K, 2nd!!!
 I adore these 4!
 They are in the same class again this year!!!
 So excited :)
