Back to School

The girls had a fantastic first day of 1st and 3rd grade!  We are so thankful to be a part of such an incredible school that loves Jesus, which makes it a little easier to let them go (that doesn't mean this Mama wasn't crying though!!)  Here's to another great year at Veritas School!


To quote Grandpa Kinard "Those girls look like they need an education!!"

Launch Day


Lainey and her new first grade teacher Mrs. Garrett.




Lainey was so happy to have one of her good friends (and neighbor!) Samantha in her class.

Catching up with one of her Veritas BFF's Kai.  

Hailey and her new third grade teacher Mrs. Bass.

It's going to be a great year!

Soft Opening of North Hall

Mommy and Daddy got to check out the newly renovated North Hall the night before Launch Day!  We had lots of fun pretending we were students!



First Day of School!

We had WAY too much fun waking these sleepy heads up for school!!














Hugs for her Lulu's Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Worden. 

Hugs for Hailey's second grade teacher Mrs. Earman. 


Lulu shed some tears when I dropped her off...

...but when I saw her 20 minutes later for Convocation she was nothing but smiles!



(it was sunny!)

Avery and Caleb were very proud of their big sisters.  

Avery spent most of the ceremony playing with her friend Charlotte.  


And off they go!  Into their first day of 1st grade...

...and 3rd grade.  

Meanwhile....

I still have almost three more weeks with these two crazy redheads!!

Aren't I lucky!! :-)

The girls had a FANTASTIC first day of school.  We ended the day with a first day of school dance party with our BFF and favorite neighbor Kaitlyn!! 




So Long Summer!
