Hi from The 5 Leggs

I can not believe that our summer has come to an end. Audra and Brooklyn started school yesterday ( 19th) and Porter started today (20th). I can't believe that all 3 of the kids are in school all day.
Audra has grown up so much. I was worried about the transition from 6th to 7th grade. I thought she might have a hard time. Boy was I wrong. I went to walk her to class, and she saw a group of girls from her class talking a little ways from us, she looked at me and said" I'm good, I 'll see ya later. " Then she ran off and joined in the conversation with the girls. I was left there to wonder what the heck just happened. I am happy to see her grow ( Sad, but happy.)

Brooklyn had a hard time. She is in a new school, with new people and a new teacher. I stayed with her for an hour , and even after that she cried when I left. I just wanted to take her home, but I was good and left her there. Her teacher said it took her just a few minutes and a few hugs to get her comfortable. She said her new school was a lot different , but that she liked it.

Porter started first grade today. He is still at Birch, but we are hoping that he will make it into Visions soon. ( He is #1 on the waiting list.) He was exited to meet his new teacher, and to see some of his friends. He wanted cold lunch , like his sisters, ( they don't have hot lunch at Visions) and he wanted to wear a uniform , like his sisters. What a great kid !!

Derrick and I are busy as always. Derrick is hard at work at his jobs, and at church. We feel so blessed to be able to serve . I have singed up to sub at a few of the local elementary schools,as well as at Visions. I am sure I will find ways to keep busy.

We love you all, and are so thank full for all that you do for us, and for others.
