This couple is on our Sunday School Class at church and we have gotten to know them over time. They are sweet, fun people who are earnestly seeking God's plan for their lives. They are following his calling to adopt another child from Ukraine. They adopted a son about a year or so ago from Ukraine. And they feel and believe that God is calling them to adopt a daughter this time. It is expensive to adopt, so they could use your prayers for favor in money and other things in this adoption. We know that God is Mighty and can do anything, all we have to do is ask.
Please visit their website and pray with and for them, as they follow God's calling in their lives!

Thank you in advance for your prayers for this family!

So hows school going?
Today marks the second full week of school for the boys! So far so good! Praise God! They are doing well. Pierce is adjusting well to "big" school. We've had 2 small bumps in the road, but I know that it is all about testing the waters and getting a feel for "big" school! He took speech last year at Ms. Mandy's and did so good. He started that back this week too. He seems to like his teacher, Mrs. Hagan, as he has asked every morning this week if he is going to speech today! I am thankful that they make it fun, so that he enjoys going. It is doing him wonders!
Colton is adjusting well to 2nd grade! He wasn't sure at first cause he doubts himself a lot! But we know that he is very smart and will do great!! We remind him that we believe in him every day and it seems to be helping a lot! Praying before school also has made a HUGE difference. The Power of Pray is AMAZING!! No other way to put it! He has done super! He had his first "real" test today. I say real because in Rankin Co. School District, you don't start getting number grades until the 2nd grade. Up until this point it has been N's, S's and U's. So this year he'll get real grades! Ryan and I, along with Rere, have helped him this week to prepare for the test. He told me this morning that he didn't know it but I knew otherwise. Momma had to pull out the positive reinforcement, to remind him that I knew he knew the information. I heard him and Ryan going over it this morning, while I was getting dressed. And he knew it!
Colton and Pierce, I know that ya'll both will have a GREAT year and learn so much! Momma and Daddy are SO proud of you and Love You Very Much!!!
As far as my school goes, I started this week. I have 1 night class and 2 online classes. The night class started this week. And I won't even lie, I panicked when class started! Why you ask? Well my teacher started talking and none of us could understand what he was saying. He is from Africa so he has a strong French accent. Seriously?? Yep.. scary knowing that you are taking an already hard class, and then to throw a language barrier in there, makes it worse! I thought about it, talked to family about it, and prayed about it, and decided to see if I could switch classes. I wanted to make sure that I took care of myself and put my best interest first, so that I can do the best I can in this class. (By the way, this is A & P 1). I took off work early yesterday to go and try to get a new class, and after 2 hrs of waiting I was able to get it changed! Praise God, and thank you God for being in the business of answering prayers!! My online classes start next week, and I'll start my new A & P 1 class!

First Day of School 2010
My boys are growing up so much!! I am loving this age they are, but at the same time it is so sad cause they are growing up WAY TOO FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They had a great first day, Pierce LOVED it, which is such a relief.. I was a little worried that he wouldn't like it but he loved it and was ready to go back this morning. Ryan and I got to walk in both the boys yesterday and this morning. Tomorrow is the big day that Pierce has to walk in all by himself.. which will probably make me cry! Colton is used to it, thankfully so that won't be so hard! Man they are growing up too fast!!
Thank you God, for 2 precious boys that you have given us to love and raise!! They are our lives!!!!!!!
Momma and Daddy love you both!!!
