Lacie's First Day of School!!!!!!!

Lacie's first day of Kindergarten!!
She's been SO excited!!! August 27th, 2009

Here is her class and her teacher Mrs Vitters getting started as us parents slowly wandered out of the room. (right picture).

Lacie is sitting next to Kioni and says bye-bye to mommy on her first day! (left picture).

Here is Lacie with one of her friends, Kioni. They were so happy to be in the same class! (middle picture).

She got her name tag! (left).

Here she is waiting to go into her classroom. She was so excited! And I thought she looked so darling! I love her little outfit. (middle).

Here is Lacie standing in front of her school, Windsor Elementary.

So my baby is no longer a baby!! She's already 5 1/2 and going to school!! We had wanted her in a Charter School and ESPECIALLY after I visited the charter school that accepted her on the 25th (a week after they'd already started) and then visited the regular public school it became obviously apparent that the Charter School would be the best place for Lacie because she'd learn so much more and thrive so much better.
But, unfortunately, we have no car and so I have NO WAY to get her to the Charter School! I've cried over it, honestly, because I want the best for Lacie and I feel like I've let her down. Now the school she's going to is one of the best in the valley, so I've heard, so I'm okay with that. I'm happy with that, actually.
Tyler and I had made it a matter of prayer of where Lacie should go to school whether it was public or homeschool and honestly and surprisingly to me we both felt that public was the right choice for her. It may just be Lacie that goes to public, or it may just be this year, but I don't know yet. I guess we'll see what the Lord has planned for my baby Lacie.
I walked Lacie to school and when the crossing guard blocked traffic for just Lacie and I and she smiled huge at Lacie and said, "have a good day!", I started to cry!! Lacie, of course, was gabbing my head off the entire walk and I had a hard time answering her because I was so emotional. I didn't want her to know I was crying. I managed to hide it. I didn't want her to think I was sad and upset her. So anyway, yes I've cried a few times already!
Then when she got out of school Tyler, Sophie & I walked back to get her. We'll be walking her to and from school every day until we have to move, which will probably be sooner than we want.

Why I Didn't Vote For Obama

These are the reasons why I didn't vote for Obama and now why I am nervous and afraid for the next four years:
1. The loss of Conservative Talk Radio
2. The loss of more jobs
3. Raising of taxes
4. Raising of gasoline and natural gas prices
5. Loss of Religious Freedoms
6. Guns taken away
7. Illegal Aliens have more free-reign on our money and lifestyles
8. More terrorist attacks
9. Healthcare declining
10. Homeschool being stopped
11. Abortions okayed for every type and every reason
12. Business loss, job loss, income loss, home loss
13. Lots of preaching and hopeful promises and none fulfilled
14. War on terrorists stopped and terrorists gain more power
15. Moral issues not looked at in the correct light and disregarded
16. Our money given out to other countries against our will instead of back into our own country where it should stay
17. The chance of becoming a 3rd world country because of economic reasons and even spiritual reasons
18. A possible civil war
These are all the main issues I have with Obama being our president.
Now what I REALLY am against is how he's voted in the past for abortion. Not only does he support partial-birth abortion, but he supports babies being killed that survive botched abortions. That's just plain evil and disgusting and cold. I am worried about people becoming more and more convinced to be accepting of wicked ideas and ideals and embracing them and forcing the rest of us to live with it. Our country is becoming more and more cold and hard-hearted. We are denying our God who gives us life! We are denying the very fabric from which we came and upon which we stand!
God help us!!!!!!!
