Walker Family Blog

It started raining last night and then it turned to snow. It has been snowing on and off ever since. Naomi is at school, so I got Esther and Ethan all dressed up and we went for a walk to the mailbox, and then played in the back yard. Ethan loves the snow and cried when he had to come in.

But today it was in the 70′s and we enjoyed the warm weather with Nana and Grampie.

Just because I think my kids are cute and it has been August since I last posted. =)

Naomi started school this week, the day after we got back from family vacation. I can’t believe I’m a school mom. =) The Lord graciously allowed us to put her in Ambleside School of Colorado which is a private school that is renting our church facilities. We became familiar with the school over a year ago when they first approached the church about renting. Shaun was really impressed with the school leadership, and we both began to research and pray about Naomi going there. It is nice that they are using our church. Naomi is in a familiar environment and her dad gets to take her to school each morning. She goes all day Monday, Wednesday, and half a day Friday. So far she seems to enjoy it. The school has uniforms, and I am so glad. Naomi likes clothes a little too much, and with the uniforms her choices are limited. On her first day of school she came down to breakfast in a red polo, got her “first day of school” pictures taken, and then wanted to change into another shirt. So, we let her. Like I said the choices are limited, and it makes getting dressed in the morning a little easier. Esther misses Naomi while she is gone, but we all seem to be adjusting well. I’m looking forward to getting used to the “new normal”. It has been a busy week.

About a week after coming home from Peru, we left on our family vacation. We rented a cabin in the mountains about 2 hours away, and enjoyed some nice relaxing family time together. It was wonderful! It is so peaceful and beautiful in the mountains, and the weather is just perfect. I’m so glad we were able to make some great memories as a family.
