Back to School~~

So, when I started this blog, I was teaching at Taylor Elementary, doing speech therapy, and a just a few weeks, I will "re-enter" the education world working at Southlake Christian preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays. OK... so it is VERY part-time, but that is just perfect for me! I am thrilled to have the job, a place for my children to attend, and the opportunity to make new relationships in this area. And just a little nervous :) We stopped by the school to meet the other teachers of 2s, who are all GREAT! and Jed was having a fantastic time there, with the other "big boys" and did not want to leave!!! I am just not ready to call him a BIG BOY yet...

Jocelyn warmed up to the idea but is still set on the idea of being in Mommy's class! THE LADYBUGS, but she will be a Turtle with Ms. Kristi and (yet another) Ms. Jennifer !!!!

We are feeling good about continuing preschool and waiting a year before REAL school changes our lives, and paticularly our SCHEDULE!!! Though we don't know exactly where we will land permanently when we decide to buy a house, I want to commit to developing friendships.

Finally, Jonathan is LOVING FireSCHOOL, and will finish this training section in 2 weeks:) and all the while he has had PLENTY of opportunities to use his gifts as a worship minister. Also, his contenment and joy even on ALL these 100 DEGREE days in training, has been absolutely AMAZING truly a gift from the LORD. The LORD has brought us here for such a time as this, and is blessing our family as we look to HIM wherever we are!

houston to fort worth

OK, I am well over a year since a post, but no time like the present!!!

So, we moved tp the Fort Worth area April 24th and Jonathan began training to become a firefighter with the DFW airport the next day. His job is definitely different, but his heart for God and his committment to love our family and serve others is stronger than ever.

One week ago, August 3rd we sold our home there and spent the week before packing EVERYTHING we own and enjoying some very precious friends that are totally irreplaceable.

Even still, I am excited about the new adventure here, including making new friends, though not to replace the old, but just to add to the journey in which I definitely value having girlfriends to walk alongside and learn from...

and of course... my little darlings are growing SO quickly 5 and 3!!!! What happened to my little babies.... they are growing, learning and even gaining independence...YIKES
