Off to Kindergarten

Well, I knew this day was fast approaching and I really tried to mentally prepare myself for it, but sure enough this Mommy shed quite a few tears while dropping Joshua off at his 1st day of Kindergarten.

He was more than ready though and very excited about starting this "big boy" adventure.  He was so cute dressed in his school uniform and carrying his Iron Man backpack and lunch box. 

I was so thrilled that Paul was able to be there too!  This Daddy is VERY proud of his boys and happy to be able to walk Josh into school on his first day.

I even let someone else take a picture or two!

Josh's good friend Avery is in his class.  She was also just too adorable in her uniform.  Sarah had curled her hair & put it up.  Absolutely precious!

& then just like that----he was off. 

  

Have a great 1st day Josh!  We love you so much and pray for God's richest blessings to you in these school days ahead.

Happy 4th Birthday Connor!

It certainly doesn't seem like four years have passed since we welcomed this handsome little guy to our family.  He has grown & changed so much yet in many ways has stayed the same.  Connor entered the world quite loudly with some very dramatic cries---

and even now can still be quite dramatic.  His father claims that he gets that from me & I guess I have to agree.  I can be a bit dramatic myself at times.   So Connor knows that he has his Mommy's heart in the palm of his hand & could get me to do most anything for him.  He's our very determined, very independent, and very energetic precious middle son.  We are blessed beyond belief by him and his 2 brothers, Joshua & Luke.  

Happy 4th Birthday Connor!  You are a blessing to us all!!
