an update and a goodbye (for now)...

Update on our family:

 



 

Kaine and Halle are loving it back here at NTBI.  They are having a blast with their friends!  They have been getting along great with each other, too:)

Kaine is getting ready to start school this coming Monday!  Last fall we made the decision to hold him back from Kindergarten (mainly because of all the transitions in moving to Michigan, etc)...so he will just now be starting Kindergarten (at age 6 1/2!!).  But oh well, I think since we are planning to homeschool him most of his life it won't really matter.  So he is really excited to start school on Monday--he will be in his good friend Brendan's class.  We are also sooooo blessed by Brendan's parents (who are on staff here at NTBI) because they agreed to do all transportation so that I don't have to miss any class!  What good friends they are!

Halle has just started preschool here at NTBI.  She is adjusting very easily to that.  She continues to amaze us with her funny sense of humor and her great imagination!!

 Layla got her hair trimmed for the first time!  Actually, this was a few weeks ago.  Our good friend Lisa trimmed it:)
Layla is having a hard time adjusting to childcare this semester.  So far there have been tears every day...but we know the teachers well and we know that they are doing a great job with the kids.  It will just take some adjusting!

Daisy has also consistently cried each day of childcare...but only for the first few minutes and then she is fine.  So I think she will also just need to adjust.  With the start of childcare also comes the end of Daisy's morning naps!  Which leads to a very tired baby girl come lunch time.  Oh, and I just counted Daisy's teeth and she officially has all of her teeth (until the 2 year molars).  She just got her 16th tooth!  Go Daisy!  I'm glad that is over!

Nathan and I are so glad to be back in classes!  They started today, and we are pumped to be immersed in God's Word again this semester.  And I do mean immersed...which leads me to my next point...


Goodbye (for now):

The classes we are taking this semester are going to demand ALL of my free time.  One of them is Romans, and I really want to put as MUCH time into getting all that I can out of that class.  There is a LOT of homework and a lot of reading, and I know I will have zero free time.  Or, if I do have any extra free time, I will want to use it for more homework:)  Therefore...I am going to be DONE with blogging!  At least for a time...probably the next 2 or 3 months.  As much as I like to blog, it is just going to be hard this semester and I feel like that is something I can cut out of my life right now. 

So...goodbye (for now)!  I hope you all have a good and God-glorifying next couple of months!  Hopefully the next time you hear from me I will have a better grasp of the book of Romans!
