Smart Enough to be a Second Grader!

Hello World!

Here comes Madison. She started the 2nd grade today.
The report from the day is that she loves it.
She is excited that her teacher has LOTS of books.

It's gonna be a good year.

Dressed for success in her new pink shirt.
She is on a dress code this year.
Makes life interesting.
She's just glad pink is an option.

Good luck!

Ft. Wayne Zoo

Lions, Tigers, Bears, Oh my!

So the first day of school starts for the Crisp crew tomorrow so we thought we would make the most from our last day of summer.

We decided on the Ft. Wayne zoo for our family FUN day. Here are a few shots from our outing. To see more check out Kristi's facebook page.

The Ft. Wayne zoo just added an African safari exhibit this year and it was really fun. We give it two thumbs up.

The zoo is a nice size - not too big and not too small. We could get through the zoo without wearing the kids out and you know that makes everyone happy. Enjoy a few of our family pictures.

Tomorrow...Madison officially enters the 2nd grade. Oh boy!

I hope your family enjoys a little fun time soon too.

Biker Babes!

Makayla came to visit and she wanted to wear all of Noah's gear but she did not want ride the bike. She looked too cute not shoot though. This diva believes in wearing her accessories.

Madison took her photo op to pick on her little brother. Bunny ears!

Yes, Madison is wearing her helmet backwards. She knows but thought it would be funny because Makayla also wanted to wear the helmets backwards.

Funny kids!

What's stopping you?

We have been telling Madison all summer that the training wheels were coming off her bike and it was time for her to ride without. Each time we were met with tears and pleading to just leave them there. Madison had a fear of getting hurt. She did not want to try something new because she knew change meant the possibility of bumps and bruises.

Much to her dismay we finally took them off. She was forced to get out there and live a little. With some direction she learned quickly how to stop herself without falling and before she knew (literally within in an hour) she was turning, stopping, and really enjoying her new found skill.

So what's stopping you from trying that something new in your life? Do you find yourself pleading, "No, don't make me change just yet. I might get hurt so I'd like to just keep things the way they are." Are you truly living life?

Madison learned a valuable lesson and all of our neighbors have noticed and come to talk to her about it. She glows with pride.

Don't miss out. Try something new. And just like Madison...

You'll probably make it far on your first try and if not you'll learn that the bumps and bruises you fear aren't as bad as you might think.

Congratulations Madison! We are so very proud of you!


Be Blessed.
