Our 1st Teacher Note & Class Time

There is great peace for parents when the Lord directs our steps and shows us in different ways that He lead us to the Perfect school.

This was our first note, it warmed my heart. I knew the napkin notes would encourage H's love language and it does. She loves them and she has saved every one of them for her scrapbook.

 

H's teacher is beyond fabulous! She allows H to work and go as far as she can go. She does not hold her back because she is in Kindergarten. The day I got this picture, I dropped to tears as I knew H was where she needed to be. She is one who like to finish what she starts and she works hard to complete the task. This picture was taken the 3rd week of Kindergarten.

 

The Math work below was done during her independent time.

We have told H from the beginning that we do not expect perfection or all A's, we only expect her to give it her Best!

I believe she is doing just that = 1 Proud Mommy & Daddy!

 

 

 

B Week

E loves doing school at home with Mommy, just like H did!

 

Stay-cation

 

This Fall's vacation was at home since we are now a family with school nights.

We made the most of each day after H got home from school.

This family loves fishing (well 3 of them love it).

I love the smiles and watching them enjoy the outdoors with Daddy.

These pictures are starting to make me realize how big they are. We are officially out of the Toddler section in the stores (which I can't stand the big girl clothes, but that's a whole other blog).

One thing is for sure, we have happy, healthy, loving children that are learning and growing.

We pray daily for their salvation as they are at a stage of asking many questions.

I pray they are steps closer to knowing Jesus as Savior soon.

 

The Pictures Explain Our Last Month

 This last month has been packed with learning to deal with "K-School Nights", homework, pre-school fun and learning to incorporate family time and all the joys of Ministry and Life.

I try very hard to slip in "snuggle parties" for the girls that end up with short naps. I'll take what I can get. It certainly rejuvenates them so they are ready when daddy comes home.

H is loving Kindergarten, new friends, Reading, math and she says the favorite part of her day is "when Mommy picks me up." I love that, but I also love that she loves to go to Kindergarten. Each day she has been excited to go in and get started.

E is still missing H and ask me several times a day " is it time to get H'y yet?"

However, she loves doing school with me. She's writing her name, doing puzzles alone, recognizing numbers and putting them in order and more. I'm so proud of her for wanting to learn.

 

Can you say TRANSITION!!!!

Wow! I feel so blessed to be a mom at home who can take my girl to school and be home later with my youngest. I love being available to hear about Kindergarten during our afternoon snack time.

However, its a transition now having "School Nights!" Especially after AWANA getting out at 8pm. Its all I can do to go in over drive at 8pm, pick up girls, get home, bathe them, read, pray and say Good Night!

H and E are thriving and learning so well, what a gift God has given us in healthy children that love to learn. H is 5 in Kindergarten, E is 3 and taught Pre-K at home with Mommy!

Kindergarten, the Class of 2026 begins!

She was so ready for today as she goes into Kindergarten a reader, writer and full of life.

Her favorite thing today was meeting new friends older than her.

Before she got out of the car she gave her treasured blankey to E and said "you take good care of my blankey while Im gone ok??!!" and to me, she squeezed me tight and said "you know I love you Mommy!"

Any pictures taken of me had a fake smile, until she said that.....

 

My Thankful List....

I'm making my thankful list, thinking on ages 0-5 so I have much to dwell on as our little piece of HVN begins Kindergarten tomorrow.

Pray that she shines as a sweet light! She very excited and going to Kindergarten already reading Abeka Book 12.

More pics tomorrow!!!
