So excited for her first day of school!
Gracie and Douglas, Our 2 students
Gracie greeting her teacher, Mrs. Smith.
I think I was having a harder time than Gracie saying goodbye. She's was having a blast!
I haven't felt much like blogging lately, but this week is very important for our family. Gracie started pre-k and Douglas started nursing school. We all took Gracie to her first day of school and she was very excited. She recognized her teacher and classroom and felt comfortable instantly. When we kissed her goodbye, she was happy as a clam. Marley wasn't so happy because he wanted to stay and play with the Lightning McQueen chair and the Lego table. Big sisters get to do everything fun!
Let the record show that Douglas teared up first, but once we got to the car we were both sniffling. I can't believe our tiny little baby girl is old enough to go to school! This is an answer to a lot of prayers!
She has loved her first 2 days and I think we'll have a great year. I'm so grateful to have a teacher who is willing to teach and love 18 four year olds. She is a saint!
Last night when we were doing our bedtime routine, Gracie turned to me and said, "Mommy, I miss you when I'm at preschool." and then she turned to Douglas and said, "Papi, I miss you too when I'm at school." My heart melted. I just love moments like that. Gracie is a very thoughtful girl and she's so grown up and smart. She's a blessing in our family.

That is so fun....and so emotional. She is getting so big, it's crazy to think about how little she once was. Good luck to her and Douglas.
You have such a cute family! Our kids are really close in age. Kayla loves pre-school she started when she was three so she is starting her second year right after labor day. Thats good that Gracie has enjoyed it so far. I am glad that we can keep in touch now too. Thats cool that your husband is going to nursing school. Thats what I will do some day. I had all my pre-reqs. done then live got to busy so when the time is right I will go to. What kind of nurse does he want to be? Well I am glad to see things are going well for you.
