Lainie's Pre-School Graduation

Our sweet Lainie recently graduated from preschool! I can't believe that she is registered and will be going to Kindergarten in the fall. I met with her teacher, Mrs. Katie, a few weeks before preschool was over, and she definitely thinks that Lainie is ready! Lainie still struggles with change and new situations, so we think that it will be a little hard with the transition at first, but academically, she is definitely ready to go! We are so proud of her!

Her teachers were absolutely amazing this year. I cannot say enough great things about them or her preschool. Lainie was given a huge binder at the end of the year with artwork, pictures, journals, etc. that she had worked on throughout the year. It is amazing, and definitely something I will treasure forever.

I will say that graduation brought about some tears, as well as some amazing experiences that we will always remember. The night before graduation, Lainie came down with the stomach virus. :( She actually wasn't able to walk with her class because of it. The night of the graduation, the two directors from her preschool showed up on our front porch with two huge bouquets of balloons to cheer her up. She was asleep when they came, but woke up the next morning to a great surprise. I couldn't get over their generosity. In addition to the balloons, they offered to let her walk with the M/W classes later that week.

She was so excited about her graduation! She had such a great year, and is looking very forward to her new big adventure that she will start in the fall! Now, I just need for some of that excitement to rub off on me. :)

Red Door

Ya'll, I promise I am still around! It has been a little busy around here lately. I recently started a part-time job out of my home that I absolutely LOVE. However, between that, the kids, my sweet hubs, my house, and all of the end of the year school activities, things are crazy! :) One fun thing that I wanted to share is our new red door. I have wanted to paint our front door red for a long time now, but for some reason, I just never got around to doing it. I guess when a person has a baby every two years, fun things get pushed to the back burner. Ha! I told Justin that we had a baby in 2006, 2008, and 2010, so technically...... Since we are starting new traditions this year, we decided to do some fun things around our house. Some I have already blogged about, but our new red door has not been mentioned. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!! Without further ado....
