Well today my girls went back to school......we of course woke up early and sprung to the floor with a bounce in our step!!lol Yah right....we actually did have a wonderful morning though. The girls got up, got ready and got their choirs done and were ready for school by 7:00. We don't have to leave until 7:30....so they were doing good. On the way to school I gave them the usual speech.........Make good choices, be a good friend, guard your testimony, and do the best you can at everything you do today! I know they get tired of hearing this but, I will continue to do it EVERY morning, Lord willing. I just think it is a good reminder for them right before they step out of the car each morning for school. And of course we have prayer also!!
My oldest baby, Taylor, started 9th grade today. She was excited, but also nervous at the same time. She couldn't eat breakfast this morning, so I hope she eats at school. She is enrolled in all Honors courses, except Geometry. She already knows a few of her teachers, so hopefully she will adjust quickly to their teaching techniques.
My youngest baby, Madison, started 5th grade today. She was not nervous because she has gone to the same school for two years. She is now the upperclassmen in the school and she thinks that is soooo cool!
Please pray for both of them, that they will be a good Godly example at their schools and excel!
We had two wonderful services yesterday at Church. Last nights message was from Psalm 92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
He preached on the Palm tree. It's stature, It's strength, and it's stamina. It is a very strong tree. It's roots are usually as deep in the ground and the tree is tall. It's rooted and grounded....like we as Christians should be in the word of God. Preacher also told us about the meanings of the Cedar Tree, Willow Tree, and the Palm Tree. But, I need some help....I can't remember what they meant. I think the Willow tree stands for wisdom and of course the Palm Tree stands for strength, but I can't remember what the Cedar Tree stands for. Someone out there who remembers.....please refresh my memory. Thanks!!lol Sorry I will try to take better notes next time.
And, yes I know I still haven't posted my pics from vacation....I will try to one day this week.
Hope you all have a great week!!

I think the speech you give the girls is a speech every mother or dad needs to give their babies before they leave them each day. When I leave my kids somewhere, I always give them this speech: "Remember your name."
Sounds like a good morning. I hope Taylor wasn't too nervous once she got to school. Sounds like Madison couldn't WAIT to get there. LOL Little stinker.
