A New School Year

 
It really is ridiculous how far behind on blogging I am.  The girls have been in school for over two months now.  No matter how late their momma is, they still deserve to have their first day of school pics posted.  Drum roll please...
 Our Ashlyn Jean is now in 5th grade.  It is her last year in elementary school.  I have to keep myself from crying over this fact at least once a week.  I feel like I am going to blink and she is going to be in college.  This year she has Mrs. Farley for her math and science and Mrs. Hamilton for her English and Literature.  It is a wonderfully challenging year.  She loves it!
 Sweet Laney Hope is in 2nd grade.  She has Mrs. Dake as her teacher.  The teachers have learned over the past 2 years to split up the 12 or so girls who like to chit chat so much :)...however, she will never be without several friends in class with her.  She is learning so much too this year and is doing great.  She even has a few days where things other than recess are her favorites from school.
 The big girls first day of school~ August 20, 2012.
 Precious Reese Ellery started school a couple of weeks later.  She is in pre-K this year.  More than once a week I have to keep myself from crying over the truth that she'll be in kindergarten next year.  She has been my little hang out buddy for 3 years and is my baby. 
 
I got a little overwhelmed at meet the teacher for the big girls because I realized that next year Ashlyn won't be there meeting her teachers and Reese will be.  So feel free to start praying now for this mom.
Reesie's best friend, Ella, and her on their first day of school.  Such a sweet friendship.  Their teachers are Miss Lezlie and Miss Noelle.  It's a sweet school where they not only learn letters and handwriting but how to love Jesus, worship Him, and learn more Bible.  We are thankful.
 
Well, hope to be back sooner than a couple of months from now, but no promises.
Until next time, my friends, be blessed!
