The Dukes Family: Meet the Teacher, Soccer Fun and the Weekend

Tuesday we went to Meet the Teacher night at Blair's school. As I have told some of you, since we have moved to a different county, we no longer have the privilege of knowing everyone and who we want and do not want for teachers. I have been a little worried about Blair promoting because Chris, Blair and I all love Blair's current teacher. I know the Lord has provided and taken care of us thus far so I knew He would continue but as a mother, I still wanted that confirmation. We got it in a big way and in many ways! I teared up when we had our meeting with her new teacher not because I was sad but because God confirmed she was in great hands. I am excited about Blair's K4 promotion that will take place in August. She is excited because of the field trips, computer classes, and art/music/cooking classes she will get to experience. God is good!

Thursday we attended soccer orientation. Blair is going to start soccer in August. Her first game will actually be in September. She is thrilled! I posted some pictures below of her soccer orientation. She wanted to wear her Tennessee soccer outfit. Boy did we get grief over that one. She did get one really nice compliment. One of the guys helping with orientation continued to call her little Kiffen. He said with the Tennessee outfit, blond hair and blue eyes she would fit right in with the new Tennessee football family. Go Vols!

This weekend we decided to head back to our stomping grounds. We spent the weekend celebrating birthdays for the most part. On Saturday we attended Aunt Gail's party with Bouncing B's water slide and our water slide. All of the kids had a great time. That evening we attended Aunt Barbara's 60th birthday celebration. Then Sunday Blair's cousins visited us at Poppy and Gigi's house for some more water fun. It was a great weekend seeing all of the family and celebrating birthdays. Happy Birthday Aunt Gail and Aunt Barbara!
