New Beginnings

SF and the oldest 3 have their first day of School at St. Agnes today.
All were a bit anxious and excited at the same time! I will be excited to hear reports from all.
This is the first time in his teaching years that SF has had his own room. We had a good time "decorating" it and making it his own.
All is going well so far!

Growing up fast

Our PCA's daughter is becoming one of the family. The kids just love her and she is getting to be more and more fun for them all the time.
Not sure how she got to be so big...but time does got by quickly!

My they grow up fast!

~Cousin's they knew~

These are SF's parents and his brother's family. These cousins our kids knew! And with all 9 of the grandkids being from age 1-13...they all seem to be able to find someone to play with. Many memories were made.

Dad's family

We just couldn't help having just one more family reunion while we had the chance. SF's mom's family had a wonderful time!

Neighbors

I was lucky to grow up in a neighborhood that was really close. We lost one of the Mom's of the group last month. The memorial service was while we were in Ohio. It was a special blessing to be able to attend. I hadn't seen some of these "kids" for "decades". Memories were shared by all!

Cousins!!

The kids didn't really understand this "cousin" thing....How can all these people be our cousins!
It was really great to see everyone. HUGS to all!

FUN AT THE LAKE

We were able to spend time with extended family in Ohio and Indiana last week. The kids really loved the lake with my cousins. Thanks to all that made the get together possible!!

Checking out the new school!

SF will be teaching in a new school this year, so we went to check out it out. The oldest 3 kids will be attending school there as well.
We pray that good decisions have been made and all will adjust well. For now they are getting used to being Aggies!
