Back to school I go...

August....and September.... Came and went so fast for the Barksdale crew! My first two months being the 1st grade teacher @ St. Agnes were smooth and fun. A "kindergarten teacher" can teach 1st grade. I'm loving their independence and ability to do work on their own --- but they still love me and need me! The perfect world! :-) Does my heart miss my special place at Sudduth? Yes. That was my home for 6+ years. I think about my kids there every day! God has a beautiful plan for us all. 💕☀️ Heinz sent his mama off to school with some sweet sweet kisses! We were so lucky and blessed to be able to join a nanny share group here in Memphis. Heinz gets to stay at our house (or two other teachers at SAA's house) with three friends and our sweet nanny Theresa. She loves them all so big and they LOVE LOVE her!

Theresa sent me this picture one night. How sweet are these babies? 💙💜 

With football in full gear -- we are basically never home on the weekends! Heinz is loving the football games and I AM LOVING the fact that we joined a tailgate group this year. Talk about less stressful! Even Brad loves it! Win win! Here are some football pics from the season so far! 

Those fireworks can be a little scary sometimes...;-) 

Jamie came with us one weekend! 

We had to say goodbye to Brads sweet and wonderful granddad, Buddy. We miss him already but we are encouraged and happy to know that he is rejoicing in Heaven with God. What a sweet and precious man Buddy was. We invited Brad's grandma Pat to come to her FIRST state game with us. It was so HOT but she was such a trooper and a fabulous fan! She rang that cowbell so well! 

Heinz - 

One of your Daddy's greatest joys is taking you to Mississippi State football games. He loves the dawgs so much and loves to share them with you! We love you so much baby boy! Here's to more football fun this fall! 

Our Maroon and White family of 3! 🐾

Jenny came to visit us!!! We were so excited to spend time with her! 

The Heinz clan headed to Beale street for some fun. Heinz had his first "big kid Sprite!" He LOVED it! He loves spending time with his big boy cousins! 

Here's our dancing boy loving the Memphis soul music! 

More updates to come! 

Xoxo,
