First Day of School!

Well I survived the first day of school. I know I was more nervous than the kids. Lynsey started Junior High and Luke was back to school for the first time since he was hurt. We went to meet the teacher night last night and I loved his teacher and all of the aides in his class. That helped to calm my nerves. This morning I stayed with him in class for a few hours to show them what he can do and how he moves/gets around when not in his wheelchair. I must say, it takes a special and very patient person to be a special ed teacher. God bless all of you that do this!! When I went to pick him up, he grabbed onto the table with both hands and did not want to leave. So, so far he loves it, and I really think it is going to be a positive thing for him!
In his desk at school, he was so excited to see this!

and don't forget it's because of parents like YOU that make their job THAT much easier. it's a team approach. luke's teachers are a lucky team to have your family to work with. now, pat yourself on the back for all you've done to get luke where he is. you are a huge hand in his progress.

i'll scream it from the rooftops, you are a beautiful and incredible family.

Prayers DO get answered! I love that Luke didn't want to leave his desk & he loves school. It is also parents like you & Mike & your entire family that bring the results we are all seeing today! Your patience, endurance, spirit and hard work are what his first day of school is all about. Jr. High will be a breeze for Lynsey! I can't stop smiling! God bless!

Tears of joy. So happy he is loving it so far. He looks great! So cute how he didn't want to leave his desk. The teachers are blessed to have Luke and the wonderful support of his loving family. I hope to see him around campus some time ... Hope Lynsey is liking Jr. High too! Keeping the continued Faith for Mr. Luke and all of you.
