Great School Update





We have had a great day! The kids were very excited this morning. Gracie Lynn actually woke up at 5AM got dressed and fell back asleep waiting for the rest of us to wake up. :) Tim and I were in classes all day also. They basically gave us an overview of what to expect the next 8 weeks. Suffice it to say that we will be plenty busy. It feels good to have a plan and know what is expected of us. We picked the kids up from school and they were SO HAPPY. They had such great days! They were full of stories of what they did and how much the liked it. I am so thankful! Another huge blessing is that they all met new friends! They have been outside playing all afternoon with new kids from school and they even sat with some of them at dinner time. It is so good for them to build these relationships with other Missionary Kids! It is a huge answer to many prayers.
I have had a much better day as I am sure you can tell from the tone of my post. :) I know that there are going to be good days and not so good ones along the way. It is going to be a process. Thank you so much for all of your encouraging words and prayers that you send our way. We do not always have time to respond to each email but we are so appreciative of each one. We could not do this without your prayers and love.

I am so glad your kids had a great day at school and made new friends!! I know that must ease your mind to know they are happy at school.
We enjoyed seeing Trinity, Gracie Lynn, Noah, and Tim with the web cam on MSN Monday night. We asked for you to wave at us , but Trinity said you were at the dorm working. I can tell because your new home is so tidy and organized! Should I have expected anything less?! :)
I'm glad you had a dood day.
