So a friend of mine has finally inspired me to start a blog... I love seeing her darling pictures and updates. Although I am a Facebook fanatic, I have to realize that not everyone has an account or logs on daily like myself! I used to crop and send pictures via e-mail before Facebook but honestly haven't had the time... so maybe this will be the best of both worlds.
Life in Bolivar is good! I think we're finally feeling like this is "home" and the kids are truly settling in. We're all making wonderful friends and I am so pleased with the schools here. I signed up to substitute teach a couple days a week and have been doing that off and on. I appreciate the kids patience the mornings that I sub when everyone has to get up earlier!
Raina and Moriah have been doing gymnastics at "Tumbles" and recently had a meet. Raina, 8 1/2 yrs, tied for first place in her age division. She's also started playing soccer with a bunch of friends from school and is really excited about that. Her first game will be in Springfield this weekend!
Baby Kamryn, born to Shane & Jacki, has been an exciting event for all the cousins! We have really enjoyed spending more time with my family, and Carol (Steve's mom) has been great to meet us halfway and take kids to stay for the night.
Recently we took the kids to the Discovery Center so I am including some pictures from that. As you can see my Moriah Faith, who will be 4 in a month, is a goofy girl. She still cracks us up daily. The boys are 6 and doing great with life... they are excelling academically in school and for that we could not be more thankful! Aidan & Aaron seem to lean more towards the artistic side right now instead of sports, but we know their interests and abilities will likely change. (They are still "rough & tumble and I do still have twin boy stories....)
I hope you are feeling blessed and enjoying this gorgeous weather. I heard "Love Song for a Savior" by Jars of Clay on the radio (flashback, I know!)... and was reminded of how blessed I am to have a God who I can worship and adore on a daily basis. He created us so that we would come to Him, worship Him, be loved and get filled up by Him!
LOVE,THE MALLORYS

ReplyDeleteHey Shannon! I love it!! You will have a great time! We were thinking that this will be great for our girls to look back at as they grow.
