Back to School 2024

It's no joke when they say, 'You'll blink and it'll be over'...here we are!  Senior, Freshman, 6th grade and 4th grade. Man we've had a crazy last few years and it really doesn't seem to be letting up.  For the most part all of the kids are happy to be going 'back to school' in Grace where things are familiar and comfortable. Laexin is happy to be in Grace doing all of the Senior things, Loa was the one who struggled the most in SC and was SO thrilled when we told her we were coming back  BUT  she isn't as confident now.  She is relieved to be where things are easy with friend and people she knows but she misses her SC church friends terribly and often voices her frustration of knowing that she was part of the reason we came back, she isn't so sure it was the best choice.  But the great thing is, everyone is learning lots of good life lessons in all of the change we have experienced.  Like, it isn't always 'greener' on the other side, and that the hard times lead to some of the greatest memories and friends of our lives and that 'coming back' isn't as great and easy as they thought it would be.  All hard lessons, but also good.  The two youngest are once again just going with the flow and happy to be wherever.
