Meeting the teacher was very fun event for Annie! She had a great first day of school! We colored and read books, counted, and wrote her name many times. She loves to color! She was so excited to start the day! She picked out her favorite dress, her pink suit and even picked out special pink hairbows. Needless to say, she was definitely the prettiest girl in the class, hands down! ;o) After school we went to Wal-mart to buy her school supplies. She had so much fun picking out the perfect crayons and prettiest notebook. She is such a girl! However, when it came to picking out a lunch box to carry her snack in, she picked Sponge Bob over all of the pink, princess lunch boxes! You can tell she has 2 brothers! We both had a great day, I think I liked it just as much as she did! It is hard to believe that 3 years ago I said, " I will NEVER homeschool!" I guess sometimes God has to force us to do things or we would never know what we were missing!
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.

So glad that you had a great day!!! Ha I know someone else who said they would never homeschool and guess what, we've been doing it for almost 6 years now!!
ReplyDeleteLoved your story about Annie's first day of school. I have learned to NEVER say NEVER. Want to thank you for being such a great support for Josh & Jenell during this time. I enjoy reading your blog. I need to convince Josh & Jenell to start one.

I love it! So glad it was a great day! I went to church with a family back in GA before my IMB days that came through FPO in October '06. None of them were morning people so they were late to school nearly every day. The mom, Holly, found out she was going to have to homeschool for a while when they first got to Central Asia and when I asked her what her daughter (7yrs old) thought about that, she said her only comment was "Well, FINALLY maybe we won't be late to school every day!" There are definitely some perks to homeschooling! Have a great school year.
