Awww! Precious.
What handsome boys, and those uniforms are just too adorable on them! :heartbeat:
Could that be any sweeter. those ties are just adorable.
I have to say I am way impressed with a school that has such small classes
and lets the kids have water at thier desks. :goodjob:
So cute!!!
adorable boys! however, aren’t the kids HOT in those sweater vests?
Oh how sweet!! What a big day for everybody!
Those were great pics! I didn’t know Dean was going to school there too. That’s awesome!
How sweet!!!!!! Thanks for sharing those pictures, Lisa…. I can’t WAIT to see your little daughter in one of those plaid dresses!!!!!
“I can’t WAIT to see your little daughter in one of those plaid dresses!!!!!”
LOL Jennie!! :lol:
Thank you everyone for your kind words!! :heartbeat:
We are very happy with the small class sizes too and the loving family atmosphere. The teachers are just wonderful , wonderful people. It is truly a great Classical and Christian school, now if we could only make our own Classical and Christian school in the Orthodox Christian praxis!! That would be a dream come true!!!!!!!!! :sunny: The children are very loved there and we are happy there, the theology is reformed (PCA) , although there are students from 40 different churches , and so far it is at a very simple level at some point our children will have to become Orthodox Christian apologists! :wink:
Rayna it is still a bit warm here, but it is cooling off and the building has A/C, good question though. :)
Adorable.
RYC: I developed a fascination for the Syrian Orthodox church last year primarily when I began taking Syriac and a Syrian Orthodox Monk friend of mine who was at Seminary with me answered some of my questions and helped me out. I think I would find it hard to be in a church, though, that did not allow women into all areas of ordination. I do appreciate your attempt to procelytize, though. :wink:
Oops … spelling error … proselytize … sorry about that!
Umm.. you are welcome….but I wouldn’t exactly call it proselytizing! LOL I just read that one entry about how you are searching so I asked if you knew about the Orthodox Church and then I offered you to ask questions on http://www.orthodoxchat.com . Generally proselytizing is seen as a negative term in Orthodoxy. You won’t see an Orthodox Christian knocking on your door or passing out tracts.
That is really neat about you learning Syriac and having a Syrian Orthodox monk friend from seminary. I would love to hear more about that. :coolman:
And thank you for the compliment about the photos. :sunny:
BTW can someone tell my what ryc means? I have been trying to figure that out for awhile and it is probably something so easy to figure out but I have yet to get it! :spinning: OHHHHHHHHHH I think I JUST got it!!! Does it mean re: your comment?? :lol:
Those are adorable pictures! My uniform jumpers were that same plaid in elementary school! I thought for a moment that was my old school, lol. The boys wear gray sweater vests and dark red ties however. That really does seem like a great place, I would love to still be at a classical school.
ryc–regarding your comment. :goodjob:
Lisa, your boys are so sweet and bright-eyed. I know they reflect you. :love:
aaaaww!! All of those pics were sooo very precious! Your children’s eyes communicate the love within your family! So glad their first day went well.
ryc: Chilly nights in the low 50′s are helpful at motivating one to get chores done before winter :wink: Plus we it’s easier to do it all this week before Eric is hardly home and I’m concentrating on schooling the boys. I teased Eric we ought to string the outdoor Christmas lights now instead of doing it when it’s below 0 and our fingers fall off! I think our neighbors would start to think we are nuts with that one though! :giggle:
What handsome boys!! :sunny:
:sunny:Too Cute! :sunny:
Your sons are so precious!
They are TOO cute!!! How exciting for them! Looking at the photos made me remember new school supplies and how much I loved the smell. I know…Im odd. :spinning:
RYC: Thanks for alerting me to the taboo of the word “prosyletizing” by orthodox. I was somewhat confused, though, when reading Kyrie EleisonEJ post sometime this week when he noted that some Orthodox were arrested when preaching outdoors on a campus. Is this merely the exception rather than the norm? Maybe I should go ask questions in the chat room instead of on here … ha! Thanks!
I think it is the excpetion.
Alana you are not weird, I remember the rush of new school supplies too!! But then again I might just be weird too! :lol: :sunny:
