My Last Full Day

Today was the closing Preschool program for parents. The kids were lined up as seen here when I entered. Kevin called to me and waved a couple of times, "Hi, Grandma!" Warms a Grandma's heart! He also said, "Hi!" to Daddy and Heather. The children sang several songs and danced around before having a certificate presentation along with a Bible given to each child.


Mrs. Hill, the lead teacher, handed out certificates to each child identifying a Christian characteristic which describes the child. Kevin's characteristic is "Diligent" because he works diligently on projects for extended periods of time.

Refreshments were a potluck dessert buffet. Here are Kevin's choices --

The Preschool Director, Mrs. Carricker, having a conversation with Kevin. Kevin is completing three years in this school.

After most were gone, Kevin helped stack chairs. Then we took a picture with his three teachers: Mrs. LaMantina, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Watson.

Spunky is not afraid of Guinness and wanders into the house at will! They were nose to nose, but I didn't have my camera. This was their position by the time I snapped a shot.

We tied Guinness to a tree and planted two marigolds and a bean plant that came home from Preschool and a baby oak tree that we started from an acorn given to us by Laura, Mom's hairstylist, as something living to remind us of Mommy. During a break from work, Kevin tried climbing this tree and swung from a branch upside down!
