Tinkerbell Tea party

My Precious Middle Child! What can I say? Yesterday you were born, now you want to wear make-up and watch High School Musical.



Some things that I treasure most about you my sweetheart:
1. Your servant's heart. From when you were very young, you were always seeking to help someone out. If it was bringing a diaper, making your bed, bringing something to bubba, you've never complained about serving someone else.
2. Your smile. It can make a dreary day disappear in seconds. Your big beautiful brown eyes are full of innocence and everything that is good. I praise God for your sweet smile.
3. Your unconditional love. There have been hundreds of times you've made a comment like "mommy, I love you even when you're angry" or "mommy, it's ok if you get mad, I still love you" You are the first one to hold me and say "I love you soooo much"



4. Lastly, I praise God for your tender heart. When we pray, you remember the most amazing things...like, "God be with the people in the car wreck"....she saw it first thing that morning and I totally forgot. or "be with Grandma's foot" I totally forgot she twisted it, but she remembers and lifts them up in prayer.

All in all, I thank God for my "Ray Ray". Turned 4 but going on 14! I love you sweetie!

Second First Day

Today was the girl's first day of school. Yep, Rhea's, Abby's and Mine! Rhea woke up at 5:45 and was ready to go. I tried to get her to go back to sleep but she was just too excited. I think Abby could feel the excitement too. She woke up in a great mood and everything went so smooth. We loaded up and headed out.

I'm working in the pre-k Learning Center at Northwest Bible Church in North Dallas. On a regular non-traffic day it takes me approximately 35 minutes to get there. Today was my first go at it during rush hour. YUCK! Through the ever-construction I exited the wrong street and got lost, therefore arriving 20 minutes late.(1.3 hrs. later) I was flabergasted, but sweet Rhea was so reassuring. "Mommy, the people won't be mad at you" I love that little girl. She has such a sweet, serving spirit (have no idea where she got it)....Anyway, after getting the girls to their classes I made it and had a grand first day. I'm as tired as can be, but feel very rewarded. It seems the ladies I'm going to be working with are amazing. I'm looking forward to a great year (minus the commute) Rhea AND Abby both got high praises from their teachers. Said they were wonderful and fun> Abby was the center of attention, and Rhea was the little "helper", always serving. She said "Mom, I like my teacher, she's beaUtiful" She makes everyone feel good!

We are still struggling with Isaac. I finally had a conference with the teacher and was able to find out what his schedule is like, what they are focusing on etc., so I can motivate him. I didn't cry today...but it only took me 6 days. Can't promise on day 7. One thing though, Marty is an AMAZING daddy. He's kinda took on the project of helping Isaac get up and get ready and out the door. My kids are so blessed to have him! SO that's our random updates :) Below are a few pics for Velvet to show that we are practicing for our McWhirter challenge. PS Look at the form Abby has already
