And She's Off.. Part Deux!

My Baby is a Middle Schooler!

Hannah starts 6th grade today!

Hannah with her friends Katelyn and Michelle.

Hannah with Katelyn in Kindergarten .. seven years ago.

And there are many changes...
- She starts school 15 minutes earlier than before.
- She'll have a locker.
- She'll have 3-4 teachers (depending on her elective).
- She'll change clothes for PE.
- She'll have an iPad to use for the year.
- She won't have her big sis on campus anymore. :(

But on the upside, Mama will be teaching Yearbook again at the school.

We appreciate your prayers through this process of change for Hannah and that her anxiety won't increase but instead she will gain confidence through the unfamiliar. My prayer 'word' for Hannah through this year is CONFIDENCE. I pray that she will gain confidence in all she does through Christ Jesus.

Emily has officially completed her first week of high school! It's not what she is used to but she is trying to get the hang of everything. My friends say it can take up to six months to a year to transition from private school to public high school. My daughter sees things very black and white so this new season of her life can be very gray-ish. My prayer 'word' for Emily this year is COMPASSION. I pray that she will have compassion for everyone and everything that she encounters that is different from what she is used to and familiar with.
