school days

We received Anna's preschool pictures today, and I may be biased, but I do think we have the cutest girls ever!

And them I had to get Maria's preschool pictures and compare the two. Definitely sisters! 

And then I realized that I don't think I ever posted Maria's school picture this year. 

We have plenty to praise God for; the blessing of these two beautiful girls, inside and out.

Off to School

 I'm in kindergarten.

 I'm in preschool(in a month)

 Wearing her star so her teacher can find her.

 Waiting in anticipation...

 here she comes.

 No looking back.

We have plenty to praise: knowing that Maria will do well in school and make some great friends.

learning

 

Maria doesn’t look too excited, but she was pleased to show us her alphabet she wrote, on their new easel, made by grandpa.  She needed very little help and didn’t look at anything except her b/d chart to figure out which way they face.  I was impressed…she even included two versions of capital J…one with a cap, and one without!  Now I just need to get a video of her doing some reading, she’s doing really well.

Helping Daddy make pizza dough…messy fun.
