"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

Goodbye, PreK

Today I dropped off sister sue at PreK for the LAST time.  wow! 
That year went by fast...
Here she is all ready to go!
Party day!  Luau style!


cool girls
What's a party without Limbo????????

And a little water balloon fun...

The first day of school her teacher marked on this tree trunk the heights of all the children. 
The purple line going up from AM's name to the horizontal purple line shows how much she's grown.  whoa!  I think more than anybody else in the class!
We will miss you, Mrs. Brown.  Just before we all headed out, Mrs. Brown circled the kids up to pray, thanking God for their lives, for how they've grown, and for what they'll become.  That's what I was most thankful for this year.  You really can't ask for more than a Godly teacher who cares for and sincerely prays for your kids.  The rest is details! 

I am trying to be better about jumping into photos with my kids as I'm always the one behind the camera. 

We are SO proud of you AnnMarie.  Yet another "first" completed for all of us.  We're so thankful to have you to be our firstborn guinea pig kiddo.  You always make us so proud! 
Lots of love, Mommy and Daddy :)
