"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

PRE-K has begun

...and I feel like somebody just set a timer! I have exactly one year before my baby goes to Kindergarten. aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! How is that possible? Soak it in. Soak this year in.


My all grown up, ready for preK big girl Gotta document the backpack
Gotta document baby brother (catch him if you can!)
Walking (a little) nervously in with a good buddy (Alayna) from last year
Yay! Mrs. Brown! We could NOT be happier with AM's sWeEt sweet teacher. She is warm, friendly, funny, welcoming, and a mother hen to all these babies. Makes a mama feel good to drop her off THREE days a week!
Mommy's view of sister ready to be picked up after the first day...Her quote was, "Mrs. Brown is even better than Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Conner!) (last year's teachers) Whoa! That's a tall order, Missy! We loooooved them!
And the best way to end the day---lunch with a great new friend! Amanda! Two big preK girls!!
Being a teacher never leaves you, and I guess I'll always pay extra attention to who's teaching my peanuts, but honestly, the Lord has blessed us AGAIN this year. I really had a peace about it. Didn't feel the need to request anyone, didn't feel the need to worry about it. And now I know why---because He had it all worked out!
Can't WAIT to experience this year with you, AnnMarie!
