Trying it again!

Well, the last two years have been rather hectic for the Hopkins Crew. A good hectic though! God has poured out SO many blessings on our family and the days seem to be flying off the calendar. So I felt the LORD leading me to take up this blogging thing again. Not only so I can remember what happens with our family ten years from now, but also so I can share with our family and friends how He is working in our lives. He reveals Himself to us so many ways and I truly felt like He wanted to use this blog to bring glory to Himself. We'll see where He takes it... I guess the best place to pick up is with the beginning of school. Gracie left her sweet days at 1st Methodist behind and started public school. She had been at FUMC since she was 2 so this was a big deal. Here she is on her first day of 1st grade:

I love the way they look with their huge backpacks on so I always take one picture from behind. Lindsay started 3rd grade so she had to move up schools (which means two car lines for Mommy & Colby!). She has never met a challenge and was totally ready to move up. Warning: she looks way too grown up in these pictures:

Colby and I had a fun day playing, but he was happy to go get our girls at the end of the school day!
