First Day of School

if a picture is worth a thousand words...i will try to give you a thousand words instead- my camera was not charged last night.

the scene went like this in the morning:

i woke up.  fixed my coffee.  read briefly.

at 6:30 i blasted the worship music in the kitchen to wake them up.  praise God for uniforms.  makes getting ready in the mornings a dream!

brooke looked beautiful as always, but even more so, this morning.  last night she let me wash, dry, AND flat-iron her hair!  she looks more and more grown up each day.  and bryan, well, it was the first time he has tucked his shirt in and worn a belt in 3 months.  little faithie?  i SO wish i had a picture.  pre-schoolers don't wear uniforms.  she wore a pink shirt and leggings and her brown cowgirl boots.  

yes, i cryed when charlie brought them to the bus stop.  but you know, running in the rain is great.  raindrops and tears look the same:)

and the wrap up at the end of the day? 

...in a nutshell,

-bryan:  likes 4th grade "way better than 3rd grade", is excited because they will be studying birds in science, and kept asking me how psalm 19:14 went.  LOVE the fact mrs. phares is making them memorize that verse!

-brooke: loved playing with brooke w., loves mrs. summerall, and proceeded to give me a 20 minute dissertation on every aspect of heaven you can think of.  at least i know she is paying attention in class.

-faith: she took a nice nap, played with a friend, and wonders why there are boys in her class.

i am so blessed
