Kindergarten..Her she comes

Sydney is now finished with pre-school. She had been going to Free to Be school 3 times a week since september and she loved it! Mostly the class pet, Harry (guinea pig).

Last friday se had a preschool promotion! It was so cute. Miss Pam had all of the children sing songs and do finger plays for the audience. Sydney was loving it! she did every motion and sang every word! The teachers had also prepared a slide show of things the kids had done during the school year. I had tears in my eyes mostly because the song that they played with it talked about little children growing up and moving on and not having much time with them.

Oh how I hope/pray that I am showing her how to be a women of God and teaching her all she needs to know as she grows.

Here she is getting her certificate and hugging Miss Pam.

This was taken after the program was finished. She was having refreshments with her friend Madysen

I have always heard people say "They Grow so fast" or "they are only little once"...it is so true

Blessings

Blessings come in so many different ways.

I meet with a Mentor at church about once a week and we basically talk all about me, my family and my 'stuff' and some things I should be working on or doing different. In doing this, my mentor has decided that my life is well...busy.

A couple of weeks ago she came to our meeting with stack of paper plates! HUGE blessing. I don't usually buy paper plates for a couple of reasons, 1 - I don't like to spend the money on something I just throw away and 2-I try to do little things for the environment like avoid making too much waste! Well, if someone gives you a gift you have to use it, right?

Today she blessed me again by bringing her teenage daughter to my house to help with my daily routine. She played with the day care children, helped with meals and nap time, cleaned a few windows, vacuumed and gave me some company! I was able to get some much accomplished. Almost every parent that come to pick up their child commented on how clean my house looked!

I was blessed today!

It has been too long!

April have been so crazy! so here is a quick update. (I will add some pictures later!)

First...LWLS (our landscaping company) has been very busy. Chris has our employees in at 7 and then they are all out until dark most days. After he gets home, he rests for a bit and then we work on paper/office work. We have been blessed with steady business and we look forward to growing our company!

Next...Ben. He is still growing his hair and I must say it looks pretty darn cute! He is growing up so fast. He has a friend who lives in the neighborhood and he has started riding his bike there - without me- YIKES !!!! He is doing very well in school and is having a blast playing on his spring soccer team. I may be biased but, He is an awesome soccer player! We are looking forward to all of the fun we will have this summer! He is such a helpful, happy and sweet boy.

Then comes Sydney! (aka Syd - thats what she wants to be called lately) She too is having fun playing soccer but often gets distracted by all of the chatting she needs to do! She only has 2 more days of pre-school and I am so proud of her. She has had 2 field trips this month and I have been able to go on both. The first was to a dairy farm/creamery call Mooville (we had a great time) and the second was to Binder Park Zoo which was also fun! She is getting so old, yet still has so much to learn about being a *lady* instead of a crazy wild child.

And last...ME...I have just been in the middle of a tornado! I have been trying to get back into my running routine but with the early mornings and late nights I haven't done very well with that. The day care is PACKED and all of my spots are filled for summer and for next fall! It is nice to be needed/in demand : )

Some days are crazy and I don't know how I will make it through but I am so thankful for the blessings God has given us. I tend to worry about what is to come in our future... How will I get ben to practice next tues, how will I get to the groc store, what will I do when Syd goes 1st grade (in 2 years) but then I reel myself back in and realize that God has a plan and I just need to listen better and wait for the right time.
