Back to School

Well, today was Lauren's first day of 1st grade! She was very excited to head back to school, although Nolan was very upset. After she got out of the car, he was crying, "Me, me, me!" He wanted to go with her. :( Then, all the way home he was saying, "More Lauren!" It was cute and sad at the same time. He will miss having her around, but I'm excited for the one-on-one time he and I will have together...it's my last year with him at home before he starts preschool! (sniff, sniff)

We had a special prayer time with Lauren last night and presented her with her verse for the year, which was Matthew 5:14 & 16: "You are the light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." We know that God must really want her at GCA for another year, because our house still hasn't sold! She has a much smaller class this year (only 9 kids), which will mean more individual attention from the teacher, which is great!! We continue to praise the Lord for providing us with the means for her to attend a christian school. :)

Here are the pictures I took of her before getting in the car this morning:
