A WEEK OF FIRSTS

Our family experienced many "firsts" this past week . . .

• Avery's first full week of public school. She loves it! God has been so good to answer our prayers for her to make some friends and adjust easily.


• Ella's first week of full-day school. And Maria's first week without both girls all day! Wow -- can they really be growing up this fast?


• Eric's first Sunday as a small group leader in HighPoint. He is leading a group of 6th grade boys. Very cool.


• Avery & Ella's first night of Awana. We are thankful for the amazing children's programs at our church and the influence of other Christ-followers on our girls.


• Eric and Maria's first night with our new community group. We are co-leading this year with our good friends, Kim & Gary, and we are looking forward to developing some new friendships and growing together


• Maria's first morning as a MOPS mentor. It was amazing -- I am so excited for the year ahead!
