School Days

We are absolutely loving our school days!

The kids are all doing so well following our routines and learning new things! Aren't these little ones so cute sitting at our circle time?!

 This was our Teddy Bear Picnic the first week of school...We love our little shady spot outside.

 Still trying to achieve walking in a line...a lion? :)

 We have a very special Children's Church time in the mornings in the big sanctuary where we sing "Rise and Shine" and "This is the Day," hear our Bible story, and pray.

 Kids take turns holding the flag...Audrey: "...And to the Republic which is in sand..."

 Our first painting project went incredibly well and they really really enjoyed it!

(Brenna painted the 2nd apple on the left)

 Nana surprised us one day and helped us at school...she may not ever come back ;)

 Both classes enjoyed the Leaf Hunt as we began talking about Fall.

 More painting with leaves...a little messier than the first try ;)

 We have loved our newest recyclables project at home and school: a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree!

 Brenna and Jordan got to hold the rainbow from the Noah Bible story because they were both  wearing rainbows :) Audrey was sick that day, and the kids were all so sweet to ask about her and pray for her!

 We take little feats as BIG triumphs...So proud of these kids learning how to sit and listen, play and share, and absorb all the new experiences we throw at them!

Country comes to Town

Is this what they mean by "country comes to town?"

 Well, God does tell us to love all people!

It's Today!

"What day is it?" asked Pooh.

"It's today," squeaked Piglet.

"My favorite day," said Pooh.

Old Friend, New Friend, Red Friend, True Friend

We have been in full swing with our friends coming over every day. We always love having some old friends stop by to play, and we are super-excited to have a few new ones, too!

 Red Day at school on September 11

Did you pick out the old ones, new ones, red ones, true ones?

Angel Babies

We met the newest Martin angel baby, Britton Grace! She is so sweet. The girls wanted to keep holding her and rubbing her head :)

 And they loved this big guy, too! Chase has gotten so big since we saw him last. He is a great big brother now!

Love being friends with Brad and Jen through this next stage of our (busy:) lives!

A Perfect Princess Tea

The little princesses of this castle were invited to a "Perfect Princess Tea" birthday party for our special friend Princess Kinsey.

Harper joined us for hair and makeup...

 ...then we made our grand entrance with fancy gifts in hand.

 We were definitely in royal company!

Why did Princess Brenna have such an expression? Because princesses don't have to hide how they feel :)

 

I love for our girls to feel special and beautiful and royal...They are daughters of The King of Kings!
