Leaving Our Mark

Last Sunday, August 24th, we had the amazing opportunity to be a part of history in the building process of our new church facility. We joined the rest of our congregation to write scripture verses and sign our names on the concrete foundation of the new church building. It was an incredible experience and am awesome opportunity to forever leave our "mark" on the foundation our church.



Take a look:

The "little ones" were encouraged to trace their handprints on the concrete
and write their names (instead of writing out entire verses of scripture).
Abby LOVED leaving her mark!

A family shot around our family verses, names and handprint.

Here is a look at our little "memorable mark".

Abby thought adding a peacock to our family would be a good idea.
Hmmm... Give the girl a marker and she goes crazy!!

We are so excited for the new facility to be ready (next Spring). What a wonderful addition to our community. We are blessed to be a part of the church as it enters a new season of ministry!

Back to School

Abby started Kindergarten on Monday, August 18th! What an exciting adventure it has been! She is attending a charter school located right behind our new hosue. Once we get moved in (October, probably), we will be able to walk to and from school (which Abby has decided is MUCH more exciting than the thought of riding the bus - which still ranks higher than riding in the car with Mommy!).

Here are some pictures from her first day of school:

Leaving the house - complete with backpack and a big smile!

Abby in her classroom - at her "desk".

This girl was "made for Kindergarten"!

Here she is standing next to the Kindergarten building at school... ready for a great first day!
