School.

The last 2 weeks have definitely been a transition.

A transition that we are still trying to all get used to.

Brock started his 2nd year of preschool at Agape Christian Preschool

& 

Adler started 1st grade at Becker Primary School.

It means that we try to get to bed earlier,

we wake up earlier,

we repeat barking orders to put clothes on, brush teeth, 

& to not forget your backpack!

We pack a lunch, cram in breakfast, give final hugs & kisses

& daddy loads our 1st grader into the car

to drop him off every morning

(mom is really thankful for that step in the process!).

Then for the rest of us left at home...

I repeat what Brock has to do to get ready for school

we all load up in the big van 

& we walk our preschooler into the church.

At this point, Vance & I stare at each other missing our boys

and figure out something fun to do together until pick up time.

I need to remember to cherish these quiet moments before 

another little one joins the family!

Brock was so excited to start preschool.

He's so darn sweet.

Adler got to go with Brock on his 1st day to school.

They were both so happy to see their Agape teachers again! 

Brock is ready to go play.

He was a very good role model for his older brother

who desperately needed to see how fun the 1st day of school can be! 

Giving good bye hugs!

(remember, this is just as big as adjustment for mom as it is for Brock!) 

Dad made sure he could bring Brock to school too.

We all sure love dad's priorities...making sure his family is loved on

during these special moments. 

Adler had his 1st day of school the next day.

We prayed for this little boy.

He was quite nervous.

He informed me that he just wanted dad to drive him to school

& based on how his conference day went a couple days prior,

I was willing to accept anything that would make him walk in the school doors!

So I had to take just 'at home' pictures,

not the fun ones of him walking up to the school, honking the horn goodbye, etc.

We were proud of him.

He walked in the door.

He survived.

Then he surprised us even more and decided to keep going back to school! haha

Thank you Lord!  

Here's to a good school year

& some quality time with Vance & mom!
