First day of school

The boys were very patient getting them registered for school. We met with the assistant principal, the principal and the guidance team. Ashton was welcomed back with open arms and everyone was suprised that Ethan was goin to be in kindergarten. The school nurse in the picture is the same school nurse that was here when we left and she just loves Ashton and was so excited to see him. Ashton was placed in a gender specific class that is something new this year at this school. They teach to the specific learning needs of the boys or the girls, he has 17 boys in his class. Ethan is in a class with 2 teachers and they are enjoying his kind spirit.

Saying Goodbye is never easy!

These are a few pictures of our "good bye" encounters. As we embark on a new chapter in our lives we knew that it was going to come with some sad good byes. We had finally come to a point in our Texas life where life was good. We had great friends and finally had God sent neighbors. Everything was going great! I have found when you are content in your circumstances is when God says, OK, it's time. A great opporutnity had been presented to us to move back to family and old friends. We knew that we would have peace about the situation if it was ment to be. Everything started to fall in place and the peace in our hearts were present. We are now back to Summerville SC and enjoying every minute. Mark will continue to work from our Texas home until it sells. My job is going well and the children have adjusted to the move and our living arrangements very well. It is Friday afternoon and we are preparing for some storm winds and a good bit of rain. RAIN that is, somthing that we didn't see very much in Texas.
