This year going back to school was not as easy for the kids (seems to be the theme in our family lately). Both Taylor and Brandon were very nervous to start school in a new town, a new school and not knowing anyone in their class. Despite the fears they both had a good first day and made a few new friends. Taylor started 4th grade and Brandon started 2nd grade. They both like their teachers and were excited to return after the first week ~ Praise God!

Caleb started 1/2 day kindergarten 2 days later. He was very excited to start school but was pretty nervous and shy his first day. His teacher is great and I think she will do a great job with him. I am sure there will be some bumps in the road, but I am confident his big heart will help win over his teachers and classmates. It is harder to let Caleb go because there is always that fear of how others will treat him or if he will he be able to keep-up. However, most of the time he very capable and continues to amaze us with his abilities. At this age the kids are pretty open and typically kind to each other despite any differences. Just watching him get excited about school, running to get his backpack and starting so proud at the front door for his school picture was the highlight of my whole week! He is such a blessing to our family and we are so thankful for how God continues to provide and watch over him. I can't wait to see how God will use him this year and how much he will learn!
