Meet the Teacher

Laura Cate was so nervous going to meet the teachers, but as soon as she stepped into the classroom her fears were relieved! I am so thankful the kindergartners were able to go a day early, drop off their supplies, find their desk, and get acquainted with everything before the big day!

We are off to a GREAT year! 

AWANAS!

Laura Cate has been waiting for a year to attend AWANAs with Cameron and her chance has finally come. I am hoping that it lives up to her expectations and I am praying even more that God would use this Bible club in her life in mighty ways  and that He would be hiding His Word in her heart. It doesn't take much for her to get excited about anything that 1) Cameron is doing 2) includes other kids. She was one excited kid when I reminded her after school that today was the first day. Precious.

Easter 2014

 
It was a beautiful spring day here in Orlando. We started celebrating Easter early by attending the annual Lake Hart Easter Egg Hunt at Cru Headquarters a few weeks before Easter.  It was really all you ask for...blue skies, green grass you can walk on...I'm still enjoying that blessing, and lots and lots of kids and baskets. I am thankful it was quite organized so the big kids weren't trampling the little ones.  They had a great time and we all enjoyed a picnic afterwards. What a joy to celebrate our risen Savior!

Here is Laura Cate's preschool class. The school had an Easter bonnet parade...they all decorated their own hats and the entire school had a parade..it was quite cute.

 
William of course joined in the fun to celebrate Easter!
 
 
I wish I had written more at the time, but I am thankful that I can daily, minute by minute, live in the grace of our Lord and not the guilt of what I haven't done.  "It is finished," are powerful and life-giving words.
