Hello from JC

We have arrived in Tennesse as most of you know and we are slowly, but surely learning our way around town. Alyssa and Isaiah started school today. It was a morning of mixed emotions. We wanted to get them started in their new routine as quickly as possible, but it also seems very fast and weird to be sending them off in a place where we know NO ONE! Anyway, Alyssa was somewhat apprehensive and got a little teary-eyed this morning (thus no pictures of her on her first day in kindergarten in TN) and Isaiah practically ran into his class. So, we are off and running in our new schools and I really think the kids are going to thrive! We only have 2 more nights in the hotel and we close on the house tomorrow evening! We can't wait to get in our house and have all of our furnishings delivered. It will then really feel like home. Although, I will miss the free continental breakfast that I don't have to cook. And, I will admit, it has been rather nice not having to clean a house or do laundry for a few days!!! Real life is waiting in 48 hours though!!! We love you all and can't wait for everyone to visit. The views are just amazing!! I hope I never get used to it! Thought I would share some pictures.
Papaw, Grammy and Zach got Alyssa a makeup kit for her birthday present. She LOVES it, can you tell?

Isaiah on his first day of preschool in Johnson City!

I caught him on the "burger" of "cheeseburger"
Marissa and I on our last night in Fort Wayne. Marissa and her husband, Will, and many of the True Life kids grilled out for us at a local park to send us off. It was a real blessing!

I had no idea that I would literally feel like these were my children. They will tell you that I lecture them just like a mother! HA HA.
