And They're Off...

Sophie took the lead by starting school a week earlier than Rhys. She is in first grade now.  She took some time to warm up to the idea of returning to school because all first graders do is "work the whole time." But by the time Meet the Teacher night rolled around she was in the right frame of mind.

Rhys is 4 years old and starting the preschool fours class at a new preschool.  His parents prayed and did a lot of investigating/observing to make sure Rhys got the best fit for his learning style.  He was excited about attending his new school and has had a great beginning.

We love our kids and are glad to see them have a good start.  We love our traditions that we are beginning with them--special, preparatory family home evenings, father's blessings, school shopping, baking cookies, and a celebratory dinner.  We know each year will bring it's own set of challenges for each of our children but we look forward to supporting them through their hard times and celebrating the successes!
