First Day of School: Gatlin & Houston 2017-2018

What a big year we have ahead of us!  Harper is starting kindergarten and Gatlin & Houston are going to be in separate rooms.  Due to some classroom changes by the school, Josh & I decided that it would be best to separate the boys.  They are together ALL the time and we thought a break might be good for them.  Something I consulted fellow teachers and prayed a lot about.  I knew we would do it eventually, so easing them in early made me feel better.  It does hurt my momma heart just a little...all 3 kids doing something totally different this year.  Anyway, today, the boys took their annual front porch pictures! 

First day of Preschool 1 (Houston) and Preschool 2 (Gatlin)

Harper wanted to show off where she lost her tooth last week.

Last family pic (with friend Molly) at preschool.  Harper is in the private kindergarten class for this week only...as she transitions to public kindergarten.

Harper gets to spend a week with Ms. Jessica and she is so excited!

She also gets to have one last week with a few friends staying in Private Kindergarten and a few friends transitioning! 

I hope and pray you all have an amazing year!

Gentry's farm with Katie and Susie

A few weeks ago, Katie took Susie and Harper to Gentry's farm to meet up with some friends.

In no particular order, here is their fun day at the farm.

More fun with Susie

Here is a post of what the girls have been doing over the last month while Mommy and Daddy are working.

These girls have so much fun together!

"Susie, you deserve a round of applause"

"beautiful singing Harper"

"good job harper...you deserve a pat on the back"

Katie said she came back from the bathroom and found them like this!

SO CUTE!!!

I know I say it all the time, but Josh and I feel so blessed to have Harper staying with Katie and Susie while we are at work. She is so happy in their home!

Thank you Katie and Susie for putting our minds/hearts at ease!!

Daycare

Here are just a few cute pictures of Harper at "daycare" with Susie and Ms. Katie!

Today, the girls had on matching outfits.
(this was actually Susie's outfit when she was a baby...great having friends with a daughter a year older)

Looking at Ms. Katie

Hey Susie! Let's Clap!

If you don't clap, I might drool on you!

Ok, I will clap and you can just sit there nicely.

Happy Girls!

More matching outfits!
I made the girls matching "S" and "H" shirts.

We love hanging out with Susie and Ms. Katie!

Thanks for such a fun place to go everyday!!!

Easter Basket from Susie

This morning when I dropped off Harper with Ms. Katie and Susie, they had a sweet little Easter basket waiting for her.  Susie was such a good helper and handed her each item from the basket.  Harper loved all her new goodies!

Thank you Susie (and Katie) for all the awesome Easter goodies!
