First Day of School

Maddie and Ella started their first day at CHS on Wednesday. We began praying a year ago about what to do about school this year. I really thought it would be best for Maddie to go to school this year instead of homeschooling. We never thought CHS would be an option, but God completely worked out every detail for them both to go! We are so very blessed! They have been so excited. They both counted the days down til they would start.

When we woke them up, Ella asked, "Why are we getting up so late?" I think she was
a bit confused.

They both look so grown up!

Maddie was a tad excited about starting the second grade.

Ella is going to take kindergarten by storm!

Myrtle Beach

We went to Myrtle Beach last week with Gran, Pop, Jenny, our friends Brad and Shana and their kids, and Shana's mom and dad. It was a very eventful trip! We had 4 flat tires on the way down, it rained some every day, we had a leak in our camper and Eric lost his glasses in the ocean. BUT, we had a great time anyway! It was so fun to hang out with our family and friends, and anyday at the beach is a good day! Here are some of my favorite pictures.

We all wish we had Ella's hair...ours looked all pitiful and hers looked great the whole time.
