New School = New Adventure

Callie started school this week.  We are so blessed with living in a great neighborhood that goes to a school that is highly recommended.  Callie's teacher is Mrs. Page.  Callie had heard lots about her from our neighbor Isabell.  She has done a great job so far this week.  She seems to be very tired when she gets home but happy.  She plays school all afternoon and uses Carsyn as her student.  It is very intresting. 






 Ready to work!
 Ready to walk in all by herself!


Ready to meet her teacher!

We look forward to a wonderful 1st grade year. 


Just so you all know I was crying more then I ever thought I would!

Friends

There is no doubt in my mind that God has taken care of us throughout this whole move.  One way that I can show that is through our neighbors.  I could not have asked for better neighbors then what we got.  We have two sets of neighbors that have taken us in and done all they can to show how kind people in Arkansas can be.  For example,I had only been here a few weeks and we were having terrible weather.  Well, we all know how much I love those.  The tornado had just hit Joplin and Chris was out of town.  They were calling for terrible storms in our town that night.  My sweet neighbors knew I was by myself.  They invitied the girls and myself to spend the night.  Can you ask for anything nicer?  The list goes on and on.  My other sweet neighbor gets up at  the crack of dawn to workout with me each day.  The added bonus to all this is that they both have two children that my kids LOVE to be with.  Callie begs to play with them and Carsyn holds here own and follows them everywhere. 
Tonight we had Spirit night for school.  We went with our neighbors and had a great time. Our other sweet neighbors are at the beach so they were not able to come. 


 
 All smiles!!
Such cute kids!!  We look forward to many many more memories made together!  Also I love that Erin has the same love of clothes that I do!!
