School has started again and we are into a new schedule. Avery has started her gym class on Tues. mornings while the boys are in school. I originally thought it was going to be more like a gymnastics class, but it has turned out to be just a gym class. She loves it.
On the first day of school I took Tyson to find his line. I wanted to take a picture of him but he wouldn't look at me or at the camera. I asked him if he was o.k. and if he wanted me to stay with him until the bell rang. Still looking at the ground he said, "Mom, you're embarrassing me." I got the hint and left. I told Darin that I thought I had at least until middle school before I embarrassed my children, but I guess not. He likes his class and we all love his teacher.
Logan is doing great in Kindergarten! On the first day of school I picked him up and asked him how his first day went.
He said, "Well Mom, Kindergarten is just like Preschool. I don't learn anything." He does seem to really enjoy going everyday and has a great teacher.
Life is different around here with two in school. I am trying to get used to the change.
Carlos is doing well here. Still looking for a job, but he did pass the written driver's test so he has his permit. That was a blessing! It was so much fun to see him so excited about that. He is growing in the Lord and making some huge progress with learning responsibility and maturity. We are excited to help him through this process.
The three kids start AWANA next week and Darin and I will begin a new small group with the leadership students at our house. We are both really excited about this as this will be the first time in our married lives that we are able to co-lead a bible study together.
I have also just started co-leading a Beth Moore study on the book of Daniel at our church. I am a little bit nervous about this because the group is large with about 25 women coming. I know that God has some great things planned and once again I am stepping out of my comfort zone to do this.
Two years ago my personal theme for the year was being amazed at what God is doing. This thought started after a sermon series by Pastor Pietsch that really stuck with me. Last year my theme was trusting God. I felt like I walked through some hard times and God kept asking me, "Do you trust me?" This year I really feel like God is showing me how to love him more by loving people.
