We Can Do hard Things!

School finally started yesterday!

Hooray!! The kids are thrilled as am I. It was time to get back into a regular routine and schedule.

As much fun as we had this summer we ALL do better with routine! :)

So Monday for Family Home Evening we had a little back to school lesson.

We talked about work and how we have to work hard to achieve those things we want in life.

And that includes school, sports, piano and getting along with each other as well as many other things in life.

And so we introduce our new family motto:

We Can Do Hard Things

We have this lovely new stained glass star that hangs in our kitchen window where we can all see it and it reminds us when we are having a HARD time.

Here's to a fantastic year of working hard to get what we want.
