Solar Eclipse

Nashville was in the path of totality for a full solar eclipse this year!

It fell on a Monday afternoon, so all of our family was somewhere different.
I ventured over to Christina's house in Mt. Juliet where we experienced full totality.


The kids were at school and Harper got to watch it on her first full day of Kindergarten.
Josh took the boat with some of his co-workers having a blast.

It was certainly a cool experience.

First Day of School: Gatlin & Houston 2017-2018

What a big year we have ahead of us!  Harper is starting kindergarten and Gatlin & Houston are going to be in separate rooms.  Due to some classroom changes by the school, Josh & I decided that it would be best to separate the boys.  They are together ALL the time and we thought a break might be good for them.  Something I consulted fellow teachers and prayed a lot about.  I knew we would do it eventually, so easing them in early made me feel better.  It does hurt my momma heart just a little...all 3 kids doing something totally different this year.  Anyway, today, the boys took their annual front porch pictures! 
First day of Preschool 1 (Houston) and Preschool 2 (Gatlin)

Harper wanted to show off where she lost her tooth last week.
Last family pic (with friend Molly) at preschool.  Harper is in the private kindergarten class for this week only...as she transitions to public kindergarten.

Harper gets to spend a week with Ms. Jessica and she is so excited!
She also gets to have one last week with a few friends staying in Private Kindergarten and a few friends transitioning! 

I hope and pray you all have an amazing year!
