First Day Of School

Today is Sarah's first day of school. Ever! Her home schooling days are at an end as she starts the 6th grade. I'm so excited (and nervous) for her! I'm hoping she finds some sweet girls to be friends with. *sniff*

 Thankfully, though, she's not heading off to school alone.

 And who wouldn't want to hang with this group?

Silly kids!

I love them...

 So with Megan behind the wheel of the car she bought this summer, they headed off! I hope and pray that they have a great year!

Guys and Dolls

My kids are so talented! Their school's spring musical was Guys and Dolls this year.

 Emily was the tour guide in the opening scene.

 Seth was Benny Southstreet.

 As a seventh grader, he has never sung a solo before (in public, that is! At home he's been singing since he was born!)

He was incredible! A total natural!

 Megan was cast as Miss Adelaide.

 Everyone who doesn't know her wanted to know if she really has a New York accent. Nope! She's just that good!

 She was

AH-MAZ-ING!!

 Emily also got to be an audience member, and later, a Havana dancer. That girl can move! :)

 Seth singing another solo! Wow!

 Megan getting ready to smack him with the newspaper.

Emily's main role: General Cartwright. She was great!

 The show was a complete success! My kids are all totally blessed to feel comfortable onstage and are amazing actors. They LOVE doing this and I LOVE watching them!!

And So It Begins.... Again

Today was the first day of school for my kids. Sadly, I watched my older kids ride off on the bus this morning. I missed them all day!

At home we started school too. Well, kind of.... We are still waiting for most of the books. But Abby got to start on her reading work!

Bunny ears and all! (?) :)

I pray for a great school year for all of us!!
