First Day of Preschool

Today was Joshua's first day of preschool. He was up before 6am totally excited. We packed his Diego backpack the night before and he helped pick out yogurt and grapes to put in his rocket-ship lunch box for snack. We were so glad to meet Mrs. Kilmer (Miss Pam) this year and allow Joshua the chance to be taught by her. There are 6 children in the program and they will spend time learning Bible stories, how to pray, ABC's and all their 123's. Joshua is also excited to learn to read this year and she will spend lots of 'phonics" time with him.

Joshua was not shy about posing for pictures this morning - check out below!





I have to admit the sad one today was definitly Matthew. He cried the whole way home - wanting his Brother so badly. When we got home he did some craft time which helped disctract him - thanks Nana England for the great art smock!

Seriously, I have tears in my eyes! Josh is so big (and good looking in his plaid shorts). I'm sorry Matt missed him so much. I hope you enjoy your special time with just Matt. Tell Josh I'm so proud of him!

Yikes!!! How time never lands. Josh & Mac are too cute. Josh looks so excited and ready to take on the world. Miss you all so much. Looking forward to making & eating your diabetes cookies (MMMMmm high blood sugar).

OK, Mac can paint a picture for my refrigerator anytime. And I have room for one of Josh's school papers as well. Fun time for sure and great memories for life. God's Blessings to all. Love Nana England
