Back to school

 I have some other things I want to post, but this is what ended up on here tonight.  The others hopefully will get posted soon!

Tonight I found this--

I really liked it.
It expressed my feelings on blogging very well.
Hmmm, then what is my problem?
My blog has gotten so stale I didn't even want to go visit it myself I guess.

Anyway, I hate it that I've gotten so behind again

I can hardly believe it's the end of summer.  School started the 17th of Aug, and as far as activity that marks the end of it for me!

Kara's first day of school--starting middle school.  The 6th graders went a day ahead of the other grades.

First day of school for Kaela--going in to 4th grade.  No, we didn't get the door re-painted this summer :(

We love our  school!  We've felt so fortunate to be able to choose where to go, and have the opportunity to attend a very small school in the country. This is where we put the kids when we went into public from homeschooling, and it's been wonderful. We're happy we can continue to opt in since we've moved too.

Happy New Year

Dear Blog readers,

I'm being lazy.

The wedding is over

It was beautiful

The cheesecake was absolutely awesome

All our kids were home except Laura

No one fought

(at least in my hearing)

The kids all left again and arrived back to their homes safely

We've had several wonderful and lazy days with Jana here

My husband has a new job

It's Monday

Meshayla's off being Nanny for Jeanne for 2 weeks while she works off her notice to quit
and stay home with baby girl

Little girls don't go back to school until tomorrow

It's a NEW YEAR
and I'm happy as can be to see the old one end.
My resolution is to make 2010 the very best year of my life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all. May it be a wonderful one for you!

New Year, A New Beginning

The old year ends, a new begins
With pages clean and new;
And what is written on each page
Will now depend on you.

You can't relive the year that's past,
Erasing every wrong;
For once a year - or day - is spent,
It is forever gone.

But don't give up in dark despair
If you have failed some test;
Seek God's forgiveness and resolve
Henceforth to do your best.

Resolve each precious day to do
Things good and kind and pure;
Though days and years may pass away,
These things shall still endure.

You know not where your path may lead
Nor what's beyond the hill;
But know that God walks at your side,
If you will do His will.

All things are possible with God,
Though days be bright or dim;
So do your best and know that you
Can leave the rest to Him.
