Back to School in a Big Way!!
We officially have a 5th Grader and two all-day Kindergartners, as of 8:20 this morning! On all accounts it sounds like the first day went great! Ainsley likes her class and her teacher, and Sienna and Ruby want to go back again tomorrow!!! I was informed that Sienna has met the boy she is going to marry already!!! However, she could not remember his name! Either could her sister for that matter!!! They were pretty funny about their recap of day 1! Tomorrow they go ALL day.. Today was a warm up for the girls.. They ended early at 1:30!
I love this shot because they were so excited.. They popped out of bed and got dressed right away. I hope newness of it all lasts a while! My guess is they will be pretty tired by the end of
the week!
So cute to see Daddy walking in with three girls this year.. Emme joined in too after I took this picture. She does not like to miss out when Daddy is involved!
It's hard to explain how I felt dropping Sienna and Ruby off today.. Honestly, I am very excited for them. They are ready for the structure of all day school. And, they are ready to learn more than counting to 10 and their ABC's! They are ready to be challenged! Yesterday, I felt like I was counting down the hours to school. It had been a long weekend.. But, when I saw them walk in confidently and hang up their back packs it hit me.. God has given us the job to help them grow their wings... Then it's our job to let them go and watch them fly! I trust they will grow in many ways this year.. But, the Mom in me is a little sad to see them grow up. I hope it's not too fast.. It wasn't too long ago that we were in Nanchang looking around the room for a little girl named Meng Ru, and in Changsha meeting a very scared Xia Chang.. Now I look at them and marvel at just how amazing they are. And, as for Miss Ainsley... She has matured so much in the last year!!! And, we look forward to seeing her blossom in 5th grade!
I heard a song the other day by Stephen Curtis Chapman.. I can't tell you the title.. But, the message reminds us that as long as we are doing things that make God smile that's what is truly important! I want to raise my girls to believe that.. So, that they can fly with confidence!
Happy First Day of School Girls!! It's definitely a day worth celebrating!!

"It Was A Wonderful Day!"
The Pearl never did the carpool line until her second year of pre-school. She just wasn't quite ready for that at three. It took her little sister one day to decide she wanted to be dropped off and picked up like the big kids... I almost wept when she got out of the car with her book bag over her shoulder and walked into the building without me. After school she was escorted to my car by Ainsley's old teacher. With a big smile, she jumped in and said "it was a wonderful day Mom!!!" Oh how I pray she always looks at life this way! Thank you Lord for precious Ruby who lives each day with a skip in her step and a "I can do it!" attitude! We could all learn a lot from her!

Her Rubiness Started Pre-School Today!!
Today was one of those days when Jeff and I give thanks with a little tear, and a great big smile for this precious toddler that brings us so much joy. As we hoped, Her Rubiness loved all of the action of her new BSF class, and her first full day of afternoon pre-school. Both drop offs went great. Big smiles, a hug and a wave as I said goodbye to her twice today! What a big girl! I will admit it, I missed my little spark plug! But what a blessing to know she is learning, making new friends, and having fun! She told me today, she learned how to raise her hand when she wants to say something. I may have to try that around here!! So cute. I love three year olds!
So excited! Taken at the school...
The Pearl got Ruby ready for me today!
The traditional shot... Will they still let him do this in High School?
I love this Daddy/Daugher Pic!! We are blessed that Ruby's school is only a few miles from Jeff's office. She loved having him there to walk her in!
