Meet the teacher & Back to school



Mrs. Williams Pre-K 4




My big girl! You are in Pre-K 4 and your mommy can't believe it! This is your last year home and not in big school! I know you see your other sisters going to their big school and you can't wait but mommy just isn't letting go anytime soon! You are my baby, and in your mommy's heart, will always be!
You stayed at the same pre-school, Presbyterian Day School. Mommy and Daddy had to do a lot of praying because we weren't sure if we wanted you to go to Community like your sister did or stay at First Pres. We were so happy at both places and after lots of praying we decided to stay at First Pres. mommy has told daddy several times how we have made the right choice! Not only are you learning so very much but you just love your teacher and all your friends! You always have peace with a big decision when you go to Christ in prayer asking for his help...please remember that my angels!
Ella Jo, you were very excited to see your new room and see who was going to be in your class! You were also excited that you had a big girl binder just like your big sister...


Mrs. Beatty 1st Grade


Addi Grace, my big first grader, you were so excited when we found out Mrs. Beatty was your teacher! Mommy and Daddy were praying all summer we would be blessed with her all year and He answered our prayers again! You were so excited when we went to the school to drop off all supplies and meet your teacher I think you would have stayed there easily. Such a big girl room too! All the new things you are going to learn and new responsibilities. Mommy can't wait to see what the year brings Addi Grace!! 



First Day Of School 2012


Addi, you were the first one out the door this morning! Daddy was working days this day so mommy got up extra early to make sure all the first day jitters were starting to pass before leaving. Everything went so smooth and I think all of us were so excited to start the new chapter of the year...school and everything that comes with it! I know this year is going to be so amazing with your sweet teacher Addi Grace. Mommy can't wait to get up to your school and do all I can to help! I couldn't help but think about this time last year when I was walking you down the Kindergarten hall for the very first time and all the excitement you had and all the emotions your mommy had! Here we are again but first grade and oh so soon! I can't wait my baby! You've got such beautiful wings and your mommy can't wait to see how far they will fly! 



Next out the door...


Off to pre-k you go Ella Jo! I think you were more excited than both your sisters put together! You will be going to pre-k everyday till 11:30. You are wanting to stay all day till 2:00 so mommy signed you up to stay on Mondays and Fridays...but I don't think I can let go of you all day just yet!
 I'm so amazed at everything you will be learning this year! I can't wait to see you grow my sweet baby! 



Out the door...for the last time



Okay, Alexa Rae, your mom will have to dip her toe in the water and talk about how this was your last first day of school! Since your a big girl and have enough credits to graduate you are allowed to go to school at a later time and can sleep in. The morning went like all the other first days of school, getting ready, texting, make up, texting, hair, texting, and if time a little more texting! You looked so beautiful in your new clothes for your Senior Year! When I dropped you off I was trying so hard not to let my mind wonder but it did...not far though. I thought about the first time I ever dropped you off at the high school and it really felt just like 2 years before...not 4! Four years ago your mom looked around at such a big school so many different buildings and so many big kids (teenagers) walking around and talking to friends. They all looked so big....well, my sweet senior, you fit right in now. As bad as I didn't want it to happen or at least happen so soon..it did happen. You're beautiful and I just can't wait to see what this great big world has for you my angel.....Dive in~












Two Birthdays * Two Sweet Girls

*17*


Your mom doesn't know how that number 1 got in front of the 7? I tried to prepare myself before you were born on how fast you will grow! I tried to cherish every little milestone no matter how small! I'm so glad I did because I blinked my eyes and now I see a beautiful young woman on the inside and out! When you make certain facial expressions or laugh a real deep laugh I still see my sweet seven year old playing with her Barbies! When we are having deep conversations or when your mom is learning a lesson from her sound minded seventeen year old I see the beautiful young woman you have become. You honestly couldn't make us any more proud! We love you so very much and....your mom is still holding on tight.
I know your Birthdays are on the same day...and I know I need to get used to it...still trying. With early planning and celebrating traditions together it all seems to work out every year and we get special time with each birthday girl! 

*6*


This year Addi Grace, while your big sister was celebrating at an Italian resturant with friends, we took you to celebrate turning six at one of your favorite places...Chuck E Cheese! With all the games, pizza, tickets, tokens, prizes, candy...I don't know which one is your favorite? We had tons of fun where a kid can be a kid and then on the way home we stopped for ice cream! Such a fun night my angel. Thank you so much for the past 6 years! I think mommy is going to try to slow everything down as much as she can. I know how soon it will be before adding a 1 in front of that 6 just like Lex! 

Lex and Blaise

Sweet birthdays for two sweet girls! Your mommy and daddy love both of you more than y'all will ever know! Happy Birthday my angels....Looking forward to many many more~
