Summer's Past.... Our School Haus at last!

Our Students!
 This was the 1st day of our school year at this School Haus!  Not one of us was really "ready"... well, maybe there were 2 of us excited about it all.  But you'll have to guess who! =) Natasha's a 2nd semester freshman in college, Brittany is a junior in High School and taking dual credits as well as high school choir and her home schooling subjects as well.  Darla is in 6th Grade this year and Bryan, our baby is a 3rd grader.  What really makes one loose their breath is this fact.  Natasha and Brittany were the same younger grades as Darla and Bryan our 1st year in Russia as missionaries!  Where has time gone?! Our end of summer was a whirlwind this year, but we are grateful for some times off as well as our Family Camp meeting.  Nothing like starting our school year off right with camp meeting!  How we thank God for the desire that all of our children have to be HIS children.  Oh may it ALWAYS BE SO!!!!


 
Teacher and Principal!!!

Daryl also started the fall semester at WSU today... so everyone's in school getting smarter 'cept this Momma! =)  Well, maybe if you counted the "school of hard knocks", maybe I'd qualify, IF I can past the tests! Smile!  I'm grateful for the privilege of Home Schooling and though I feel VERY inadequate and weary at times, I'm ever so grateful for Our Heavenly Father that promises to give us all the wisdom we need when we ask Him!  So we off and running.... and yep we are already tryin to catch our breath... but it's exhilarating! =) ~Teacher, Laura~

Laura, Loved this post and the fun pics. Wow! I can't believe that Natasha and Brittany were the same grades and Darla and Bryan when y'all were in Russia. Time flies! Glad for your good first day of school. Praying for y'all as you go through your school year. Yes, I agree with you...I'm SO GLAD that Jesus has promised new STRENGTH each day and the wisdom for those who ask for it.
Lots of love and missing y'all all the way from Colombia,
~Heather~
