Mazy’s First Day of Kindergarten

August 25, 2020

This girl couldn’t have been more ready to start school! She was so excited to see her teacher again, meet new friends, see an old friends, and just be at school. She loves learning (when it’s not from me, of course :)). She was counting down the days and more than ever, we couldn’t be more thankful to be IN school. And we will try to never take it for granted, knowing that it could change in a heartbeat.

Sweet girl, keep your simple faith. Keep loving others and God with your big heart. May your compassion shine and may that smile brighten those around you.

It was also my first day back at school, helping in the extended care program and really just helping where needed!

Her smile says it all:

And I realized I needed to capture this monumental moment of needing to wear masks to school! Thanks to ZCS for providing the kiddos with ZCS buffs:

Around The Home

Hello snow! The first picture is of us hanging out by our propane fire, with the temperature definitely warmer. And by the end of the week, our first snow! We loved both extremes and everything in between! Mazy loves to roast marshmallows! With snow on the horizon, that meant lots of leaf raking this week!…

Around the Home

Week number who knows what in lockdown, but I am growing to love this. I know that may sound odd, but I often find when we have slower times in life or when I am forced to slow down, it’s because I’m recovering from a procedure or surgery. Those times are often quite difficult, so…

Our Christmas Celebrations

Another “first” we couldn’t wait to celebrate: CHRISTMAS. I always had dreams of watching our child open his/her first gift. Getting up Christmas morning and celebrating Christmas as a family. Telling our child about what Christmas really is about. A baby that came to save the world. And now those dreams have come true. Every…

Around The Home

This week leading up to Christmas has been so fun! We have had a fairly calm week at home and I just LOVE those and so does Mazy. As much as I know she’d like to be in school, I’m so thankful for the time we have at home together! Sometimes I think she gets…
