Pray for us, please.

I've been dreading this post for a while but I didn't want anyone to feel left in the dark. Some of you already know this, but we could really use your prayer and support.

For those of you that don't already know, I'm sorry and I hope you don't hold it against me but I've had a hard time talking about it without crying. I hate to cry so I've been sort of hoping that people would just find out from other people and eliminate the need for me to do any more crying.

Lance and I have just recently gotten divorced. It was final last week. If you're surprised then you are in the majority. It seems sudden but has been on the horizon for quite a while.

I don't want to go into it too much right now because I don't have the strength and the kids are currently destroying the living room. Soon they'll be chopping up the trim and starting a bonfire.

Specifically, please pray for our children, and that we can always put them first. Secondly I'd appreciate prayer that my sanity will not leave me, as now is when I could use it the most.

1st day--part two.

Snack time.
Kayla and Ashlyn on the bus together.

Ashlyn and her funny faces. They get to sit next to each other on the trip home. Ashlyn was angry that I wanted a photo and she wanted to get on the bus.

Funny thing that when I gave birth to Ashlyn I purposely picked a rare name so that she wouldn't have to share it with another class mate. Guess what the only double name in her whole class is? Yes, she is now Ashlyn O.

1st Day of Preschool.

I'm in shock and denial that my baby is starting school already. I still see an infant in a baby seat when I think of her. When I commented about her being my baby and that she is growing up, she said "well, sometimes babies grow up".

I guess they do. And I better get dressed or we will be late for her first day.
