It has been quite a busy few weeks. Alex has started a new school , Olivia has started Kindergarten and the twins have returned to pre-school. Everyone is going in different directions simply because they are all at separate locations with many miles in between.
Alex has started a new school for 7th grade. Though we never imagined sending a child to a private school, that is what we are doing. This has been a wonderful, blessed step of faith for us and Alex. He is having a great school year. He is also playing football for the middle school team. We are so very proud of the young man he is becoming. And you can imagine how proud his daddy is of #22.
I might add...in the opening game Alex had 3 receptions and a fumble recovery on a punt. And yes, I was tempted to charge the field when two rather large kids sandwiched him at the end of one of the plays. I was tempted, but I did not. I simply stood, held my hands in the prayer position and watched run off of the field. I wonder if Drew Pearson's mom started out this way??? 
Olivia started Kindergarten this week as well. She has to wear uniforms so I get no days of frilly little dresses and pink from head to toe...(how odd that my child in public schools has a stricter dress code than my son in a private school). Anyway, she is cute in her polos and khaki skirts. This is a real transition for her. She has never really been away from us. Even in preschool, her daddy was down the hall. She has a wonderful teacher who seems to truly love Olivia. We are praying for a wonderful year.
You know I had to go with something completely "girly". I love her backpack and matching lunch box.
