August 2013

So, I'm skipping right over the summer and posting about the end of August. We had a busy, fun summer that was filled with lots of swimming and lots of family time. I found out just a few days before teachers have to report back to school that I would be teaching 1st grade. It wasn't exactly the plan that I had, but everything fell into place, therefore, Jeremy and I know that it was God's plan for our family. One of our biggest concerns was what we were going to do with Carlyle. My mom decided that she would retire and keep Carlyle, which is SUCH a HUGE BLESSING!!! I love that Carlyle is being loved and cared for by her grandmother! And, I think my mom is really enjoying this special time with Carlyle!! Right before school started, Claire had a birthday and turned 7!! The one thing she asked for was a Duck Dynasty shirt:)

Then we started school. Here are pics of Camden's first day of 3rd grade, Claire's first day of 2nd grade and my first day as a 1st grade teacher!

The next day was Carlyle's first day back to Mother's Day Out! She is so sassy!!
