WHEW!

First day of school......new shoes $35, new backpack with a compass on the zipper pull $14, cheese and mayonnaise sandwich (yuck!) $2, watching Benjamin walk into his pre-k class all smiles......PRICELESS!
It was a great beginning to the school year. Thank you God for giving us all the grace to not only "make it through" but to actually enjoy the moment. These moments, in the words of one our favorite Christian artists-Steven Curtis Chapman- are moments "made for worshipping". God is on His throne and He gave us this beautiful gift.
My first days of school were equally exciting and I'm blessed with the opportunity to teach a great group of kids.

Today Nate went to take care of some of the paperwork we are completing for the adoption. He had to visit the courthouse to get copies of our marriage license and birth certificates. Just that much closer to our baby! If you are reading this we ask that you say a prayer for the birthmother-that she will have courage and be blessed with health and peace of mind as she carries our baby. Of course, pray for that little life that God is molding and making into His image. We are so excited ---did I say that already???? to meet this child. Thanks for walking this journey with us!
