Our Little Graduate

Happy Memorial Day!!

I’m beyond grateful for the service of each and every man and woman who gave their life for our freedom.  May we not forget what that really means and may we live in a way that is worthy of their sacrifice!

It’s pretty quiet around here today.  Our very own military man is traveling to take an exam, so the kids and I are laying low and trying to get back on schedule after a fun weekend.

I’ve finally had a chance to upload a couple videos from Grace’s preschool graduation program and I’m so glad that I was able to capture a little sampling of the wonderful ceremony.  Preschool was a very positive experience for us and I’m so proud of the way Grace has grown academically and emotionally.  No matter what we do from here on out with homeschooling next year and potential public or private school later on, I think I’d like Avery and Drew to each have a preschool experience after what I saw this year with Grace.

How on earth did the last year go by so fast??

I remember when our little boo bear was a tiny baby and now she’s this big girl so full of spunk and sass.

She was very proud of each song she sang in the program.  Here are a few short clips…

 

 

She was such a little ham!  I had several other parents come up to me and comment how comfortable Grace was in front of everyone and how “into” it she was.  We may have a little performer on our hands!

When she walked up to receive her certificate of completion, I had a total flash-forward to her high school graduation and I just know the time between now and then is going to fly.  Dear Lord please help me to appreciate and wisely steward all of the moments I have with her between now and then.

The preschool chapter has closed and we have a carefree summer ahead of us before homeschooling kicks off in the fall.  I’m both excited and terrified of what we’re in for with Kindergarten and I can only imagine the blog posts that will be born out of that experience!

Congratulations Gracie Bear.  Daddy and I are so proud of you :)
