family matters: Back 2 School...for real?!!

Hmmmm.
I think Ill use this shot instead of his professional school picture...only because...
ITS CLOSER!
He received a blessing from his dad the night before school started and it was so sweet:
He has a strong sweet heart.
AND
He will use his big heart for good.
Basically, that is all I needed to hear.
Sometimes I fear that because his heart is so soft I worry he would be a good candidate for bullying.
When I heard it was strong...
I sighed a bit in relief.
This guy is gonna do good things in this world.
I can't express the love my heart holds for this face...and the soul that lies just behind those bright blue eyes.
-gulp-

Ummmm.
She is so beautiful. Inside and out.
This girl - she is really blossoming into somethin' else.
Her blessing:
You will befriend those who have few or none.

-tears-

Day 1.
She befriended a new girl that had just moved here from Spanish Fork.
She sat with her at lunch.
And did what she wanted to at recess.

Heavenly Father definitely used this precious little angel on Earth to help one of His other little angels on her first day of school...in a new place...with no friends.

This new gal fell right into Raegans lap just hours before Raegan received her blessing.
We went to 'back-to school' to meet teachers and she happened to be in front of us.
They looked lost. I asked if they were new. We showed them around. And then we parted ways.
I challenged Rae and asked her to be Avery's first friend and stay with her on her first day of school.

2 hours later...through Shawns blessing and straight from Heavenly Father...this challenge was foreseen from Him and made for a great blessing and a great tool to build a testimony on.
She did it without hesitation...and with a big smile.

Its hard to find words. Im just so proud of her.
