Pre-School Graduation

My Mom has told me many times to never say "I would never......." Fill in the blank with something related to your children.  For example:  I will never be one of those parents that are crying at graduation from kindergarten.  What's the big deal?  Avery's pre-school graduation started and I boohooed the UGLY kind of tears.  The kind where your face gets all messed up because you're trying to hold it in.  I know it's a good thing and I know they were probably happy tears, but boy is it hard...

Avery graduated from Training His Treasures (at Stanton Christian Church).  She has been attending the school since August, 2008.  Ms Marie Fain and her many teachers have been such a blessing for our family.  The ceremony started with the students reciting the pledge to the American Flag, the Christian Flag, and the Bible.  Avery and two other students led the pledge to the Bible.  They recited Proverbs 22:6:  Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  Avery also had a memory verse Proverbs 18:10:  The name of the Lord is a strong tower; believers run to it and are safe.  It was a great program and all of the students did a wonderful job!

Avery also had her last visit to her babysitter- Ms Evalene Dotson.  What an amazing and Godly woman!  She is still taking care of Jacy and we are very blessed to have such loving people to care for our children.  I love that I have a job that allows me "extra" time off with the kids, but it is great to know that when you do have to leave that they are in such caring hands.
