Scenes from the first day of school.

Our baby is in Kindergarten! She was so excited this morning, we were ready 10 minutes before we had to leave... That NEVER happens! :-) Of course, as a good scrapbooker/blogger I had to take a bunch of pictures (We weren't the only members of the paparazzi). Here are just a few:

Lindsay was very brave and didn't cry at all. I was afraid that she would be attached to my leg but she was easily lead to her seat in the class. I was proud of myself too because I didn't cry in front of her and only actually got teary a few times. Now I just have to figure out what to do with a 3 year old for the next 7 hours!

The Angels are Having a Party in Heaven!

Last night about 30 minutes after Lindsay and Leslie went to bed, Lindsay came out and said, "I prayed that Jesus would be in my heart and wash all my sins away." We have been very careful not to push on this subject. Waiting for her to gain understanding. Our focus has been on just her knowing that God loves her. It's important to us that the decision be her own and not pressured by us. So we were very excited when she somehow came to the conclusion herself that she needed to pray. We hadn't talked about it in a long time. We asked her why she decided to pray and she said that she was looking at her Bible book pictures and decided that she wasn't afraid anymore and she wanted to pray for Jesus to be with her.
Pray for us as we guide her to grow up and live her life for Jesus in a real and personal way.

I meant to post this a few days ago. Wrote it, then forgot to post. Sorry!

History According to Lindsay

I over hear Lindsay playing with Leslie in the other room and she asks her if she wants chicken or pig to eat. I didn't think much of it because we had a conversation about how ham is pig recently. But then when I came in the room Lindsay tells me that they are pretending to live in the olden days like the 70's and they are going out to kill and eat a pig.

Did they get this from Sesame Street?

I would have put this on my blog, but it is not up yet. This is for all the Redwing fans in my family! Enjoy

How's my day been?

I've written about it in my mom blog HERE.

Lindsay is 5!!?? How did that happen?

Lindsay's 5th birthday was yesterday! We celebrated with her special birthday girl necklace, a special trip for DQ cones with Mommy, a special birthday Starbucks drink from Daddy, special gifts from family far and near, and a special cake. I'd say the day was special enough. Though we couldn't have a big party this year, we tried to make both girl's birthdays joyful. We also made sure that we updated her birthday table cloth with this year's date and handprints and we put her current hight on the growth tree.
I can hardly believe that it's been 5 years! I am continually amazed at the love God has shown us through our little girl.

You may notice the blog list on the sideline only includes the most updated blogs so if yours isn't there, maybe it is time to write!! :-) Also, Lance is starting his own blog soon so keep a lookout for that. It will show up in the sideline too. More changes may come too, but we'll take it one at a time.
