New School year

It is so hard to believe that we are entering Middle School (6th grade) and High School. Catherine announced today that it's time to pack up her dolls. She's completely ready.. I'm not! Just 2 weeks ago she was in my room playing school with all the babies lined up and now this morning she spent over an hour fixing her hair, listening to music and trying on clothes -- and we are still 2 months away from being 12. We got her ears pierced this summer, she's adopted a purse when we leave the house and she's officially ready for a "big girl room". Ugh! I guess I have to get myself ready - because she is moving forward whether I'm ready or not. We have a crazy busy year ahead... volleyball, golf, cheer, school, confirmation! Not a moment to spare.

Christopher is off to a great start at his new school - Praise God!! This is such answered prayer for him to be at this school. We are so hopeful that this year will be an amazing year for him. He is such a sweet boy with so much to offer - with the right environment - he is going to thrive. He is going to love being a part  of the choir and the tennis team. Now if we can just fit all the homework into this busy schedule.

I'm thanking God for getting us through so many trials to get to this point. It's been a winding road with so many detours. Each twist has helped us to learn more about what is really important in life. Praying for the energy, patience and commitment needed this year to be available for both of them.
