Red Stick Social

Mommy and Daddy had a fun date night tonight with two of Mommy's oldest and dearest friends.  We went bowling at Red Stick Social and had so much fun!

I pray that all three of you have solid friends that you are able to make wonderful memories with throughout your lives!

Helping Mommy make banana bread with chocolate chips!

Catherine and Joseph worked together to put together puzzles this morning!

Joseph completed this 24-piece puzzle all by himself!

Last swim of the summer with our cousins!

Thank you for the flowers Julia!  

Fun in the carpool line!

Daddy took you next door to Tari's to a construction site while Catherine was at dance lessons.  (Mommy and Caroline were inside watching Catherine.)

Catherine made these three envelopes for Jacob Schmeeckle.  She said she filled them with kisses and wanted to mail them to him.  The blue dots are stamps. ;)

Look closely!  I spy Catherine in the upper right-hand picture with her Pre-K class in church.

Ring Around the Rosie with Teita

Catherine decorated this Teddy Bear headband at school today.  Since we are leaving tomorrow to go to Orange Beach, she will be missing Teddy Bear Friday with her class.  Everyone gets to bring a teddy bear to school and will be able to walk around campus and show his/her teddy bear around.  

St. Jude Pre-K and Kindergarten Orientation

What an exciting morning!  Students beginning Pre-K and Kindergarten at St. Jude and their parents had orientation this morning at 9:30 A.M.  A newcomers coffee was in the cafeteria at 10:30am after orientaiton.  You saw your classroom, sat in your seat, found your backpack hook, and stayed in the classroom while Mommy and Daddy went to a meeting with Mrs. Driesse.  

When you first walked into the classroom, you were nervous seeing all of the parents and the such a crowd of people.  Mrs. Driesse was so welcoming and put you at ease right away.  You got a little upset again when we left to go to meeting, but you calmed down very quickly.

I can't believe my baby girl is starting Pre-K 4.  You will be one of the youngest in the class, but you are ready.  Daddy and I are excited to see how much you will learn and grow this year.  We hope these years move slowly!

We had donut holes and cookies after orientation, then Mommy brought you to Chic-fi-la for a special lunch.  I love these special times one on one with you sweet girl. I love you!

Catherine and Jacob!
