First Day of Kindergarten

We survived the first day of Kindergarten! Izaiah woke up so excited about school. We all waited at the bus stop for over 30 minutes until we gave up and I took him to school. We picked Ms. Totten as his teacher, but about 2 weeks ago she got promoted. They moved him to Ms. V.'s room, but then hired Ms. Glass, so he got moved to her room. Two days ago Ms. Glass decided she did not want to be a teacher so she up and left. Soooo, Ms. Totten is taking over until they hire someone. Can you keep up with that? :) Hopefully that will be a smooth transition.

Izaiah did not want me hugging him, kissing him, and esPECially not blowing him kisses. My little boy is growing up...*tear*. There were no tears from me today; I am very proud! Fun Fact: I never went to Kindergarten. My mom attempted homeschooling me, and that didn't work out so well! Izaiah got home and said that Kindergarten is "boring". Oh dear.

Everything

I feel like this so much of the time. Distracted, tempted, anxious, hated, depressed, DEFEATED. Thank God we are loved by the creator of Love Himself. Without Him I would be NOTHING.

New House News

We are finally in our new house! It's been a crazy whirlwind! Mark is loving fixing things and I am loving decorating it! Izaih is not loving his new room so much because it has lots of windows. He's still getting used to everything, but he loves having a backyard to play in! I have learned that I really love pulling weeds! Who knew? It's very therapeutic, you should try it. We love our neighborhood! Everyone is so nice and fun. There seem to always be parties and events and team sports to get involved in. I can't wait for Fall!

Today is Izaiah's last day of Preschool. This preschool has been the HUGEST blessing, despite my initial hesitation. Izaiah is doing soooooooo much better, and has really been able to work through some of his past trauma. God has so many great plans for him and his sweet little tender heart. Izaiah is just so wise beyond his years, and it really shows when you would least expect it. He has learned this amazing way of comforting people when they're sad. He is learning what it means to really love people and is finally embracing letting himself be loved. Everything about him is a miracle. I didn't understand how in the world parents could say they love their child more and more every day, but I totally understand it now.

Pictures coming soon!
