Back to School

We’re back in the groove. I can’t remember the last time my kids were tucked into bed and asleep at 8:15 pm.!!!

At Christ Schools, the kids are now entering 2nd and 4th Grade. I love all of the teachers at their school. We have received a wealth of information from the first day back, including handbooks and manuals (almost all of which I’ve nerdily read all the way through). These teachers are the people we have chosen to entrust our children to for a majority of their moldable young lives and that is not a decision we take lightly.

Ultimately, we believe very strongly that it is OUR responsibility as parents to raise our children and teach them, but it also gives us great comfort to know that they are in “good hands”, with people we trust not only with their emotional and physical selves, but with their spiritual nurturing in mind as well.

Last night, we were able to have the whole family over together for dinner. All four of the older kids came along with some of their significant others and we enjoyed time together as the “last night of summer” came to an end. What a great way to start the fall (even though it’s not officially fall yet).
