Baylee's first day

Baylee had her first day of Kindergarten today. She did great! She had a picture she had made for her new teacher and she was not at all shy about giving it to her. She gave her teacher a hug, and the look on Baylee's face was priceless. She went right to her seat and started on her puzzle. I kissed her goodbye, and turned to leave, it wasn't until then that the water works started! My little girl, growing up....Its one of the hardest things as a parent, watching your child learn how to fly, and hoping you've given them enough flying lessons to keep them safe when it starts to storm. OK.....no mushy stuff, I'll cry again! ugh....

Neal's first day

This was Neal's first day of 4th grade. His teacher this year is Ms. McCall. We are very excited about his 4th grade year, and all that it will bring.

Just a few pics we have taken lately of the kids. The middle one is Neal's new friend, Walker. He and his family are new to TN., we hope they like it and stick around for a while.

Our day

We have had a very hectic week to say the least. We've all been going 90 miles an hour, and by Friday we were all running on empty. I started a new job, Neal went back to school, Brad has been taking care of Baylee and Brennan (with only one arm), and oh, Karate, small group, Dr. appts, Physical therapy, just to name a few extras. So by Friday we were all done, and ready for the weekend, only one problem.....we had plans the next day too! So this is what I did, I made some phone calls and cleared my calender for the entire weekend. Saturday morning comes and we load up the kids, the bikes, the stroller, and the dog.....head out to the park and just enjoy the day together. The kids had a great time riding one of the nearby bike trails at Sharp Springs Park in Smyrna. It was a beautiful day to be outdoors and it gave us all the break we needed. Later that night after dinner, we all snuggled up and watched a movie together. OK....confession time, I ran back and forth between the bedroom where the movie was playing and the living room where CNN was on to watch bits of the Rick Warren lead "civil forum". The movie and my family was much more interesting, I promise.

Baylee starts her first day of Kindergarten tomorrow. We are all very excited for her. I hope I don't cry a river in the morning, and if I do, I hope I remembered to get waterproof mascara.

Hats off!!!!!!!!!!!

My hats off to working mothers everywhere. I'm not even kidding. You people amaze me. I don't know how you do it, but please let me know what the secret is.

I started my first day at Stewarts Creek Middle today. I had been there before, but only to do inventory, stock, meetings, things like that. Today the students were there, and I remembered what it was like to work (outside the home anyway). When we were in Louisville I had a part time job on campus, but then I only had two kids, now I have three and its a whole new ballgame.

I'm going to go and ice my wrist and put heat on my back. I'm pitiful, really I am, I can admit it freely! My body is wondering what happened today, its in shock! As soon as my body catches up, I'll be good to go, I just hope it doesn't take to long.

Amazing

I am just overwhelmed at the love, support and encouragement we have received from people over the last few weeks. Our friends and family have been amazing. Our church family have brought us meals, grocries, and even taken our trash to the dump for us. My Mom came down over the weekend and took the kids school shopping, something I didn't know if we'd get to do or not.

I'm truly honored to know these people and I'm so blessed that I get to call them all, friend. Thanks everyone.
