A Month of Firsts

This month (August) we’ve had a lot of “Firsts” in our family.

Isaac’s First Day of Kindergarten

First time we left the boys to stay overnight with friends for 2 nights while we flew to Joe’s sister, Rachel’s, wedding.

Seth’s first day in the Puddle Jumper’s Classroom at LMPC’s MDO.

First time Grandma Venema came to visit by herself.  She stayed for a week and it was wonderful!  Things just got done…ironing, laundry, dishes, etc.  It was great to come home from work and laundry was done, house was clean and even the beds were cleaned and remade.  I felt a little helpless this morning after she left.  It was a tremendous blessing to have her here and the kids loved it because she played with them and read them lots of books.

A few pics from our trip to Coolidge Park.

and Isaac’s First Soccer Practice.  I didn’t go to the actual practice but took a few pics of him before he left.
