Back to School!!

A milestone of sorts...three kids off to the SAME school (at least for one year)..Madeline K, Mallory 2nd grade, and Taylor 5th grade! Wow, how time flies..I remember like it was yesterday Taylor starting K. Can't believe he is "big man on campus" already. I also remember how choked up I was when he started K. Mike and I went inside the building to "see him off." Totally different story with Mallory. Mallory wanted to be dropped off in the carpool line when she started K, and Madeline...well, let's just say she would have preferred riding the bus if we'd had one. Today I am not sad, just proud. Proud of these three kids and the joy they bring to my life. I am thankful for their wonderful school, teachers, and administrators that teach them with a Biblical worldview and don't accept the world's standards. I am thankful for the Lord's provision provided to our family through Mike's job and the Godly men that own and operate his company. It is moments like these that we can see the "fruits of our labor." I am thankful for my husband and his many sacrifices he makes to give everything to our family, love you honey!

As you prepare for back to school with you and yours may you remember to be a light to others around you and that God created each of us for a purpose!

be blessed! Lara

PS, Parker is full of smiles these days although capturing them is quite the trick. My angles on these pics aren't the best, but his smile is! I love this boy!!!
