Here are a few pictures of Aubrey on her first day of preschool. She loves it and is not at all sad when we leave. She gives us a quick kiss and she's off. It's funny to watch her scurry from one activity to the next at free time. She's so excited she can hardly decide what she wants to do. During circle and singing time, she is totally enthralled. She has already come home with new songs. I'm so glad we found such a wonderful preschool where she feels loved and is being engaged.

Sometimes I forget how much my soul needs music. It's been a long time since I took some time to replenish myself. Today I took a long bubble bath with my i-pod and a glass of wine. God always meets me in these times. What a gracious God that he immediately gives me just what I need when I turn to him.
The song that spoke to me the most was "You're Not Alone" by Meredith Andrews, and in particular the line..."I'm the one who's loved you all your life." I am so thankful that God has always known me, loved me and cared for me. As I look back on my life I see the loving marks of Jesus in the midst of pain and tears - beauty from ashes. And what really brings me to tears is looking at my little children and knowing without a doubt that God is loving them and caring about every aspect of their lives. Someday they will look back and know that God has always been there in a very personal way.

Yesterday at church Aubrey wanted to go in to service for the worship. So she loudly sang "tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet" to the songs she didn't know the words to. Then during prayer she picked up a bible from the pew and said to me, "Mommy, I'm going to pretend this bible is the Three Little Pigs." I'm sure the people sitting around us got a big kick out of that. Of course, I was mortified. Not very reverent of my little girl. But I had to laugh.

Aidan started 2nd grade today. He wasn't so sure about going to school this morning and fussed a little bit getting on the bus. But, just like a typical kid, he perked right up when he got to use his new i-pod and listen to some music on the way to school.
Here's a picture of him at recess (also with his i-pod). He was having a good time. Like his new faux hawk haircut? Pretty cool!
