Sam's Blessing

last sunday, august 22nd we had sam's baby blessing. he has his booties made by his great grandma grapes, and his blanket from great granna anna. doesn't he look sweet?

i was so excited to have matt and miriam and their kids here for it. i really appreciate them leaving texas early so they could be here. my kids love max and savannah and they all had such a good time with their cousins.

jeff gave sam such a sweet blessing. i am so grateful for him and what a great dad he is.

August 16th

the kids had their first day of school august 16th. they were excited and dreading it all at once. andrew is in 2nd grade this year and is so excited to have mrs. martin as his teacher. she is the FUNNEST teacher in the school. after he came home he said, "i can't wait to go to school tomorrow!" kaylee is in 5th grade this year. (sniff, sniff) i can't believe that she will be in middle school next year! (does that mean i am getting old?) she already loves mrs. carpenter, and i do too because she doesn't believe in spelling lists!! will is getting anxious to start pre-school next week!
