Dec 6

What an amazing day Dec 6th was for Hannah and Chloe they made the choice to give their lives to honor God and were Baptized:) Watching the two of them grow and learn is so amazing God is really doing some great things in them!

Hannah Riding

Hannah had been not only learning new riding skills but also learning how to care for and groom the horses! She would stay at the barn all day if she could, it's the only time she doesn't mind the bugs, heat, or cold:) Here she is at her last lesson.

Hannah, Hannah, Hannah

As many of you know 2 weeks ago Hannah's 2ND grade teacher left the school! Hannah was so upset for the first 24 hours we talked about how God had a plan for Mrs. Jones and he also had one for LCCS 2ND graders. So she started praying that God would bring her the teacher who fit his plan, I told her every time she was sad about losing Mrs. Jones that she should pray for the new teacher God was bringing to the school! She did and well we got a call Thursday night telling us a new teacher had been hired and she was starting on Monday! This afternoon all the 2ND graders were invited to come and meet Mrs. Hackler :)

First Day of School at LCCS

Today was the first day of school, and if you had asked me two weeks ago how I thought the first day of school would go I would have said terrible, but as of Sunday night the girls were so excited! This morning there was no whining or grumbles when I said it was time to get up, they just popped up and got in the shower!

Here is Chloe with her 2ND grade teacher Mrs. Light and at her new desk in her new room!

Hannah and her 2ND grade teacher Mrs. Jones and at her desk in her new room!

And our big 1st grader Miss Abby with Mrs Young (if she looks familiar she was Hannah's teacher last year and we were super excited to have her again) and at her new desk in her big 1st grade room!

I can't believe I am a mom of 2ND graders and a 1st grader they seem to be growing up too fast!

Horses

Hannah's last riding lesson was great! It was so nice and cool out so we all went to watch her (its been since before school got out) She is doing great and loving it! Here is Lily in her get up of the day jeans, a tee, a ballet skirt, rain boots, and a cowgirls hat! Lily has been asking Ms Janet to sit on Zipper for awhile so she finally got her chance and a ride too! She was in love and cried when it was time to get down! The girls are all wondering if she will be a rider like Hannah or a gymnast like Abby! I guess time will tell:)

Sick at Camp :(

In case you haven't heard poor sweet Hannah was running a 102 fever after being at camp less than 24 hours:( Hannah was crying and crying saying she wanted to go home so her counselor sent her to the nurse to talk to her. The nurse was loving on her telling her she going to have a great time when she noticed she was burning up. So after a first rough night of her and Chloe crying and sneaking into each others beds (which is against camp rules) their counselor gave in at 11:15 and let them sleep together the first night. The second night was when Hannah was sick and in the nurses cabin, after dinner Chloe "hurt" her leg and got sent to the nurse she was crying when she got there Hannah heard came running out the hugged and hugged and wouldn't let go! The nurse said she felt bad sending Chloe back to her cabin, but she had to. Come to find out this afternoon they both cried themselves to sleep last night the nurse rubbed Hannah's back until she fell asleep and Chloe's counselor had to get in bed with her until she fell asleep. Hannah saw the camp Dr today at 1 and he found nothing wrong with her, her fever broke around 11:30. The Dr asked the nurse to keep her until dinner time just to make sure it didn't come back! When it was time to get ready for dinner Hannah's whole cabin came to pick her up, Chloe and Hannah hugged and cried and said to each other I love you, I missed you so much. The nurse said they all skipped off:) Then nurse did say she would be lonely now Hannah was very entertaining;) (that's out Hannah)

And They are Off, to Pine Cove that is!
