My sweet chubby baby walked his way into elementary school this week. To celebrate this huge step into the world of education (homework for the next 15 years…at least), my husband and I took Quade out on a special “You Are A Big, BIG Boy” date. We wanted to mark this moment. To appreciate this ...


















My little silly boy is now a sophomore in high school, and my little girl with pig-tails is now a senior, but they had a great first week of school. I’m so grateful. As a past first grade teacher myself, I can say that many of life’s greatest lesson are lived out in that year. I loved it and often still miss it. Savor the year.
And don’t underestimate the power of the rain and the storm. We’re enjoying the fruit of our kids’ first grades even now.
now YOU have me crying! Thank you for your sweet words and encouragement. thanks julie!
dont know why but im sitting here BALLING reading this!!
i think b/c 1) you know the great heart of his school personally 2) You are PREGNANT!!
Love ya friend. Thanks for sharing in this education adventure with us!
Sweet. Sounds like a great start to the year. It’s so nice to know that your kid is in good hands. She seems like a very wise teacher.
thanks joyce. it has been super sweet. I’m cherishing every moment knowing how quickly it goes (have a nephew who graduated from High School this year…). Also wonderful to have another godly woman pouring into Quade and echoing God’s truth & encouragement into his precious soul. Thanks friend!
