1st Day of the Masters Program:)

Isabella started her final year of preschool at Riverside Christian School on Wednesday with great anticipation! When we told Isabella it was time to go back to school she was VERY EXCITED to go back and see Mrs. Voeller and her friends!

I was so happy walking into Isabella's classroom! It is wonderful to bring your child somewhere where you feel them so wrapped in love and God's care. Mrs. Voeller is such an amazing teacher...what a gift she is!

There are 3 other girls in Isabella's class that she has been with the last two years, they are all summer birthdays. Than there are 11 other new friends to play with! Boy oh boy was Isabella excited about that! "Mom, there are so many new friends" she exclaimed when I picked her up! When asked what her favorite part of the was her response was, "All the new friends". She told me all about how they wrote their names with glitter, how she painted a picture of God's creation, how they read a book about friends, how she had cheese crackers and two glasses of milk at snack, how they played puppies at the playground!

We stayed for quite a bit with the other parents. Veronica had a grand old time playing with the big kids and her buddy, Jocey. She even wore a backpack and seemed to think she was going to school too! When we left, sigh, I suppose this will never end...even though Isabella was so excited to be there, even though I delight in my one on one time with Veronica, and even though it is much easier to do the grocery shopping with one child...I just felt a part of my heart missing without my Isabella with us:) I suppose this is how life shall be!

I had to chuckle because Wednesday and Thursday were gorgeous days last week...in the 80's! Isabella was done with preschool at 11:30 on Wed and we headed to a friend's house for swimming and some fun in the sun. I joked with Debbie that if we had decided on kindergarten, I probably would have pulled Isabella out when I saw the 80 degree weather...hee hee:)

So here it is, our final year of preschool! Oh my! I never envisioned I would be such a weepy mother over matters such as this! It is all very exciting though! This is how it is to be! These little ones are supposed to grow and spread their wings and soon my little bird will be ready to fly high!
