A New Beginning

Promotion Sunday! The girls moved up in Sunday School and Tegan got join the Main Street Kids!

Yay for Kindergarten!

Hailey was already in Main Street Kids, but got to move into the 1st grade class.

Mommy also had a new beginning as I started helping in the Backyard, Middle School for a 6th grade girls group.

Another new beginning was Tegan starting dance! For her extracurricular activity, she chose ballet.

We tried out a place called Roots Academy. She loved it.

A few other New Beginnings include... Natalie and Natalie!!
Our dear friend, and Ali's "other mother" and BFF, got baptized at church!

 I love how all the littles sat front and center to watch! Even Ali wiggled her way into the center of the kids.

 Hailey and Tegan were pretty excited for Mrs. Natalie!

 We love you Natalie!! Congrats! You are such an inspiration and amazing person! Love you!

The other Natalie, our niece and cousin, starts COLLEGE! She will be going to UTC in Chattanooga. So she came over to say her "see you laters" and we had a little basket of encouragement / survival for her.

 Aunt Shell and Kelly came over too.

 Here's the College Survival Kit the girls and I put together for Nat!

 Each item had a note attached. Things like; A sponge to soak up every moment, FlipFlops to protect you from all the scum you may encounter, Band Aids to help you mend when you hurt, etc. etc. Here is the list I got the ideas from.

Enjoy College, Nat! We will miss you, but we know you will be back to visit often! Chattanooga will be fun to come visit you, too!
Hailey is also back at her tumbling class! She loved it at Premier! She also loves swinging in to Sonic for dinner and coming to sit in the front seat with me to eat.
