1st Day of School.

Yesterday marked a new era for us: school days! Hobbes and Madeline both began Preschool/Kindergarten at Geneva, the local classical school here. I cannot believe they are already old enough to be elementary kids-but I look forward to the challenges and fruit it will bring!!

back in the thick of things...

we are back from the beach!! It was a wonderful, relaxing, SUNNY week-in which Hobbes conquered his fear of water!! and we all enjoyed each other's company. School started for me yesterday, Bray has his first coaching with a new teacher in Little Rock this weekend, and the kids begin Geneva Monday. Phew! But life is good, and who couldn't enjoy every day with these 2 crazy kids?

A smidge...

well, need I say life is busy? Probably not, so let's just say-life is full. Kids have had Vacation Bible School at our church this week, and they are loving it! They can recite (or shout) their Bible verse, march to their songs, and love earning stickers for extra chores (wow!) at home. Tomorrow is their final day, and it's a 'splash' day, which with this 105+ heat is more than welcome! We head to Gulf Shores for the annual Wilkins' vacation next week, and both Bray and I have had concerts, church services and events lined up this whole month to perform for. School starts in just a few weeks, too, so kiddos are excited!!! So for now, here's a few pics from our daily adventures.
