The First Day of School...
...Started Well.
We all got up and got ready with little to no fuss. Alicia was in her classroom a bit after 7:00 to meet with her classroom aide Mdme. Gilbert.
The girls and I made it to devotion at 7:30 just fine and then on into the schoolyard. I went to my room got fans running, windows open, lit a candle to create a nice welcoming sort of ambience.
We switched around how all the classes line up for pledge this year, so there was a bit of initial confusion but we pulled it off without a hitch.
My classes went well. The first day is weird, because there's no routine, yet.
Alicia's day went pretty well also. From a behaviour and discipline point of view, we remarked how we wish every school day was like the first.
Alaina's day seemed fine. She likes for things to go according to plan and today, not every subject was covered during "it's time". Still, it was a positive experience all around.
Anessa's day didn't go so well. She had some difficulty following directions. She later said that she was nervous and missed her Grandma Cheryl. After speaking with her teacher, I might describe her behaviour as 'defiant'. Yup that's my girl. Someday God is going to use that 'defiance' in a my mighty for his kingdom. I don't want to snuff it out by any means, but we'll work on self-control obedience and who knows, tomorrow it all may be well. Pray for Anessa for missed Grandmas and to settle in to a new school year.

It's good to read that everything seems to be going well for the most part. I will continue to pray for you all! SAB....how is your own skeleton frame doing? Did you stock-up on the shoe "lifts"?

Well, it seems like you are off to a good start! Sounds like Anessa is just like her other 2nd grade friends here in the states. Someone told me once, when I was complaining about Cady being independent, head strong and always willing to speak her mind, to keep in mind that those are all very attractive traits in adult women...so I guess we will just have to live through them while they are little! :) I will continue to pray for you! I love you all! Wendy

When are you going to write something new? I'd love to hear what Anessa says about her teacher.
