First Day of School

Reese had her first day of school yesterday. Talk about overwhelming emotions. She has been in preschool for two years, so leaving her was not my problem. It was the fact that she is just growing up to fast for my liking. The second picture of her was the one that really got me. She looks so innocent and pure with her cute little dress and princess backpack. I started getting teary eyed because I know that we are walking towards that battle of wanting to do right but being pulled to do wrong. I didn't not have the greatest experiences in school so I am sure that that has a lot to do with it. I was the girl that got teased and hurt. I hope that Reese will be loved and excepted and love and except others.

    These pics are so sweet. It is so scary sending them off and not being able to be by their side to guide and protect them. Thankfully we can rest in the fact that Jesus is...though that doesn't mean their won't be tough times. I defonately struggle with just wanting to keep them home and protect them. I'm praying for all our little ones in school.

    Thanks for sharing your heart...I always love hearing it.

    That's interesting. I think there are MORE people in the world who were teased and hurt in school than we think. I know I was one of those people. Those are such trying times...

    But I agree with the above comment... just having the faith that God is protecting your children is about all you can do. And you know what, that's the best thing TO do. :)

    You should call Amanda and share experiences. I know Odi had a rough beginning to her first day... :)

    Love the pictures...I was wondering how Reese's first day went! When I was teaching I didn't really get why parents had such a hard time saying goodbye on that first day but now I know...Tal still has two summers left before Kindergarten but I'm already thinking about it. I'll be praying for you and Reese this week!

    Those are difficult times and sadly they grow up so fast once they start school. How was her first day? Did she love it? She is so sweet that she will have tons of friends by tomorrow!! Mom
    Hi Reese you cutie!!! Love, Gramma

    We all go through tough times in school - some more than others. But the difference between what you experienced and what Reese may experience is that she has a Christ-centered home. You will be able to guide her through a lot of it and teach her how to lean on God during those times - something that you unfortunately didn't have back then.

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"

the things they say...

Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)
