God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Liam's First Day of School

Liam is so excited to be in Kindergarten!  We are excited for him and look forward to all the ways that he'll grow.  

Liam started by visiting his classroom.  He met his teacher, found his locker, and found his seat at his table.


The night before school started I gave Liam a copy of the book The Kissing Hand.  I wrote a little note in the front of the book and dated it.  We read it together.  The next morning I put one of the stickers from his book on his hand, so he had a kiss from me to carry with him all day.

Liam's first day of Kindergarten!





Liam had gym class his first day of school and unfortunately collided with another student and got a giant goose egg on his forehead.  It didn't seem to bother him too much.  He said, "Don't worry, I still want to go back."



Liam loves school so much that he often comes home and has school with his stuffed animals.  He also teaches the rest of the family and often makes us all participate in science experiments.  


School all day, five days a week is exhausting

Here are some of our favorite quotes from Liam during the first week of school -
"I am a little disappointed that we don't have science class more often."
"It's great that my teacher has a good singing voice."
(When asked about music class) - "You know, there is this room beside the cafeteria, which I thought was off-limits, but once you walk in, you realize that it's the music room.  It's like a hidden room."
(Explaining why he was on yellow on the discipline chart at school) "The other boys were encouraging me to turn the lights on and off.  After talking to my teacher I realized that I should listen to the voice in my head instead of the boys."
The moment Liam gets in the van at the end of the day, he begins to tell me all about the day.  I hope he stays this way!
