HAPPY GRADUATION DAY!!

Paige is officially a PRESCHOOL GRADUATE!!! Today was full of pride, tears, laughter, hugs, smiles, tears, and so much joy! The song playing right now was used as the preschoolers processed down the aisle...I was in tears before it even truly began because of the song! My tears were not even really about her growing up, although it seems to be happening faster each day. I was truly heartbroken to say goodbye to The Learning Center (TLC), and the amazing people who have become her family this year. It was totally a God-thing that she even got in to the school, so this entire year has been such a blessing! I honestly believe her being at TLC has been one of the greatest blessings of our move. It was a perfect fit for her and she has thrived!

The kids did quite a performance of many favorite songs and prayers. As they were given their diplomas, they introduced themselves and told what they wanted to be when they grow up. It was no surprise...Paige wants to be an "Aminal Doctor!"

I had to add this one...Paige loves to get her nails done, so I got her special Princess "stickers" for her nails for the big day. She was somewhat obsessed with the whole thing and wouldn't stop looking at them! Paige...we are SO proud of all you have accomplished this year! We have loved hearing every word of every song (100x over) throughout the year. We have enjoyed watching you develop friendships and learn how to be a good friend. Our hearts have broken with you as you have learned some tough lessons early. Our tears have flowed as we have listened to you pray to Jesus and begin to love Him with your whole heart. Today we celebrate YOU...every little thing about you. We are excited to see what the next chapter brings for you. We love you more than words express and cherish your life!

I love this picure of the three of you! And I love the song - especially where it says to let them sleep in the middle! :) Makes me feel ok that we are letting J man!

Yeh for preschool graduates!! "Let Them Be Little" was on our DVD too. Love that song!

Paige is off to Kindergarten now!! Hard to believe! We're keeping Renee home one more year; she won't be 5 until the end of Aug. so we can get away with it.
