La Rentrée

This is not an amazing back to school picture. I was in a hurry, the light was bad, and I think I moved as I took it. But it is amazing because Anna is excited and happy to be starting at her new bilingual school. Some of you know the story. I will tell it here soon, but I need to go pick her up now so there is no time.

But I will say that I am grateful for new starts. I am thankful for lovely friends who have supported her, encouraged her, and prayed for her. For her French teacher who smiled and said that Anna seemed to have grown since she met her last Thursday (it's the new haircut which ended up being a lot shorter than expected). And for her very kind new British teacher, Miss Helen, who took her hand and led her up into the building this morning.

Amen.
