Yet life is still full. It's a good full. God is stretching us and growing us. Parenting gets a bit more complicated as school begins and new attitudes are brought home. God has placed us in certain circumstances right now that are tiring but filling. On this Friday night Matt and I sit here after putting the boys down, hanging & folding clothes and updating the budget. We are reminded again how important this stage of life is for the boys and us and to not let it slip by without purpose!
Our week was full of things like a TCA Kindergarten Orientation for Josh, Small group barbecue, 1st Grade music concert for Nathan, taking our sweet Sarah Ogden (89 year old gem) out of rehab for an evening out for dinner, researching non skilled care for her, volunteering in Nathan's class, getting a new roof put on, video cameras up, and all of the other daily things of life! I'm grateful for these days. I really want to be doing everything that God is calling us to right now, and not more than He's calling us to. Navigating the difference is a full time job in itself! But He is faithful and good.
A few photos from this week:

All of the first graders are on the risers. 2nd grade is waiting their turn on the bleachers.
Nathan is standing next to Isaac. Isaac's mom is a 2nd grade teacher and she bribed Nathan & Isaac with a cinnamon taco if they actually sang! Neither of them enjoy it too much.
Our beloved principal, Mr. Donald Stump, who is retiring this year.
Mr. Stump says, "We better get a picture now before he's taller than me!"
Daddy and his boys!
And somehow, now it's 12:!5am. Better get to bed. Saturday is here!
