Tears Are Falling

Jesus Rocks

"The Lord is my Rock and my Salvation, in Whom I take refuge"

Psalm 18:2

Oh my Addi Grace where do I begin?  Mommy knew this day was coming but I can't believe how fast it got here! You have been so excited the past couple of months practicing your songs and doing your hand motions with the music! Every time we are in the car we have to play the CD of graduation music and I love watching you in my mirror waving your hands and praising your Savior! Your angelic little voice singing hallelujah praise the Lord forever more will be a memory in my heart always!
When you were a little baby you had such big chunky cheeks that mommy would kiss till they were red! I have taken numerous pictures just to remember how those sweet cheeks looked. As I was fixing your hair for your program I saw a glimpse of those chunky cheeks through your hair, and it comforted my heart to see your cheeks still chunky and that you are still mommy's baby in your blue graduation gown!
At your graduation program you sang your sweet heart out praising your God! You were not shy at all which surprised your mommy! Even Maw Maw Russell leaned over to tell Daddy..."I don't think she's shy anymore!" After singing your songs and reciting your Bible Verse you bravely walked to the microphone and said "My name is Addi Grace Russell and Jesus is the power of God!" ....Amen
Then while you were changing into your gown the family & friends watched a slide show of such precious memories from the past year! What got Mommy's tears flowing was when I saw the prayer that you say when you bless your food come on the screen! It is a prayer that your teacher, Mrs. May, has given an added flare to and your mommy doesn't want to forget how Mrs. May changed it so I will add it to our blog....

HANDS.....

Hands so high I can touch the sky

Hands so low I can touch my toes

Hands together just like so

one, two, three

God is Great  God is Good

Let us thank Him for our food

by His hands we are fed

Thank you God for Daily Bread

In Jesus Mighty Name

Amen

When you received your diploma the look on your face warmed my heart completely! You walked by yourself down the aisle and as you passed us we yelled out your name and you glanced over and gave us a quick smile! My beautiful Addi Grace, mommy & daddy are so proud of you! You have grown so much this year! Your hair has gotten longer and thicker, you have grown so tall, and I am just amazed how much you have learned! You can count to 20, write your first and last name, you know the months of the year and days of the week, and you have also made such sweet friendships this year! We will treasure these memories you have given us this past year and even though you will advance to the Elementary school next year CCS will always be in our hearts!

Do you remember way last fall

When I was only just this tall?

Now look at me! I'm up to here!

And my, I've learned a lot this year!

In fact, you think I'm really great!

That's why I get to graduate!

Addi Grace, all of the pre-k classes recited this poem at your graduation and it made the tears flow even faster! I'm so thankful for everything you bless us with my sweet baby and mommy & daddy love you so very much! This is only the beginning of many precious memories to come~
