The Graduation Ceremony

June 19'th was Grace's last offical day of preschool and it was Graduation Day. The classroom was arranged like an auditorium full of little chairs and each child was given a graduation hat. Everything was very cute! Ginnie, called each preschooler up by name and handed them each a certificate. I was so proud that Grace went up all by herself, as a few other preschoolers had refused to participate. She looked so excited and proud as she turned around to face the crowd of her peers and all the parents as they clapped.

Way to Go, Grace!

Preschool has given her lots of opportunity to explore art, music, playing and friendship...and she even has more hair and enough to have a real ponytail!!! Yay!
Here are a few other pictures of that day...

Grace with her teacher Kyna. Grace loves Kyna - she often sticks close to her side.



Braden likes preschool too!

Braden's Dedication!

On May 20th Kevin and I dedicated Braden at Summerland Baptist Church. We waited so long because it was important for us to stand in front of a church we could call home and commit before "our church family" to bring Braden up in a Godly home and to teach him about God's word and love.

It was a nice dedication service performed by Sue, the Children and Families pastor and Pam her assistant. Braden was a wiggly guy and wanted to run on the stage but we managed to distract him long enough to get the job done!
