First Day of School

Today was an interesting day. We homeschooled E last year, but with the new baby on the way, and baby E only 8 months old, and J starting kindergarten this year too, we decided that maybe school would be the best, so we found a charter school opening up in the area and decided it would work for us. It was a rough choice because I want to do what is best for my kids, but at the same time, I want to protect my sanity too!

Today they started classes, E in first grade and J doing halfday kinder and I think they had some fun. It was weird being home for three hours with only the baby, but I am sure I will get used to the quiet. This morning while J was home too we went and got his hair cut which I have been meaning to do for awhile but it was just easier with one less kid with us. Here are a couple pics from their first day . . .

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
