Preparing for take off.

This was one of Eva Grace's writing exercises from school this week. Sounds like a list to live by to me! School is out, let the summer begin!
My baby girl's last day of preschool was today. This closes a chapter of our lives. For the past 10 years I have had babies at home with me. In August, she will start Kindergarten. A wise person once stated, "The days are long but the years are short." This is so true. Some days have felt like weeks, but these years have gone by in the blink of an eye. Who knows what the next 10 years will hold. Many new chapters of our lives will open and close and I know each will be treasured, but I have greatly treasured this chapter and am sad to see it go.
Ella had a music program tonight at school. They all did so good and looked adorable in their white and yellow. Ella loves to sing and looked forward to this for days.
I love Mother's Day! Emma surprised me with breakfast this morning in the sunroom :) She made buttered toast with jelly on the side and had made me coffee. She arranged it very pretty on a wooden tray with a rose in a vase from her ballet recital flowers :) It was a great start to the day! For church, the girls and I matched, as we do every Mother's Day! We surprised Grandma and went to church with her, then picnicked at her house for lunch. Adam and Granddad grilled ribs :) After lunch we all played a game of dominos (Emma won)! That evening we celebrated with Nanner and Poppy at the movies. We saw Avengers (again), it was just as good the second time!|
My surprise yummy breakfast Emma and I shared :)

It was a rainy at the soccer fields this morning. Em & I snuggled under a blanket & umbrella during Ella's game. Then, the littles played in the rain during Eva Grace's game. It was quite relaxing. (I enjoyed it!) Eva Grace played one of her best soccer games ever. She LOVED playing in the rain!![]() |
