Saying goodbye to summer and gearing up for a busy week



I was meaning to post this 2 weeks ago, a local church was putting on a pretty neat event for the community, it was a clothing exchange for the new school year. I just happened to be leaving my house with some bags to drop off at the Salvation Army when I read a flier my kids brought home from VBS a couple of weeks prior, it was about the clothing exchange happening at the very moment. It is so wonderful to see people coming together to help others, and it is really awesome to see it at church. I went and dropped off old clothes and picked up new ones for my kids. As I was there the volunteers were getting Moms at the local taco shop to come and get clothes, one Mom was just so over joyed, this is just was she needed for her little boy, she squealed with excitement and her older daughters early teens were happy to help their Mom find the right clothes. Everything was set up in a nice organized fashion, folded clothes on tables sorted by gender and size with signs to point you in the right direction. Thank you Pathways Church http://www.pathways.cc/ for being a blessing to my family!

We are getting ready to start the School year, I have a 3rd grader and a 1st grader starting on Tuesday! I am sad for summer to come to an end, but I am praying for a GREAT school year. 3rd grade was one of my favorite years of school, I hope Galilee has a very awesome school year, and I love hearing all that Owen is learning about. I will have 6 hours to send more focused time on my 2 sweet rainbow girls, I am looking forward to that time, we are joining a Mommy and Me group as well.

So here's to, homework, packing lunches, shoe finding, teeth brushing on the way to school, backpacks, and arriving on time! Wish us luck!
