Graduation Day

I never thought the day Jessi graduating from preschool would be here so soon. It seems like yesterday we were at the hospital waiting for her arrival. Wait is what we did, after being 10 days late, induced, in labor for about 18 hours, pushing for NOTHING, are sweet little Jessica arrived via c-section to an extremely BLESSED mom & dad. She instantly filled our lives with new meaning and purpose. Needless to say her mommy has a hard time seeing these milestones come and go.







Jessi was so proud of her accomplishments on graduation night, as she should be! We did encounter some bumps throughout the year. There were numerous days that Jessi left with tears in her eyes, doubt in her voice, and fear in her steps. Let me tell you when you have a mom that can't keep it all together; it doesn't help a 4 year old to overcome their fears. Thank goodness for AMAZING teachers! Mrs. Boomsma and Mrs. Van were the greatest gifts to Jess and I. Their love for Jessi was so evident and I truely believe the only reason mom and daughter conquered separation from eachother was because of them. Throughout all of this I actually thought maybe I should just homeschool.....yeah, that feeling soon passed!




Jessi made numerous friends, but one of her best friends was Olivia. And if a 4 year old can have a crush on a boy I think it must have been on Grant Mulder. I actually think that is why she wanted her brother to be Grant! And well if mom could pick....it would be Charlie Schut (below)...so cute! (i write this only to show them that moms know best...some day I'll show them this picture when they are dating)


Jessi sure learned a lot while in preschool, but at conferences Mrs. Boomsma said she is very confident in her praying and love for God......my heart melted. In Mrs. Boomsma's words and my exact feelings, "what more do we really want for our kids than that; to love our creator and Father."


"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14
