Preschool Open House

Oh my. How did this happen? My baby has grown into a four year old, and my four year old is ready now for preschool. So whether her mama is ready or not, here she comes!!
A rare solo picture
...and with her sisters.

She picked her own lunch box, and loves the strap that goes across her body and the handle that she can hold. She told me that the strap helps her so she can carry other things with her hands. Four years later and this girl of mine is still a collector of items...it's comforting that some things never change!

Hannah's teacher is Mrs. Wills. She is in Room 3 with 12 other kids.
She was surprisingly nervous, wondering who her friends were going to be. She instantly took to the book corner though, and enjoyed looking around the room.

This Thursday is the first day that I will pack her lunch, drop her off at school and kiss her good-bye. Kate has already said over and over how much she is going to miss Hannah, and I have to echo that feeling.

So here's to a new era in our family: school. Lord, have mercy and protect your precious treasure that Hannah is now and will become! Go before her and work through her. May she bless others and be blessed through the many years, days, hours and minutes that she has in school.

Excited to hear more of how the first day went. She's an adorable preschooler and I'm sure she will be quick to make friends and do well. I love that Kate looks just as ready for school with her lunch box and all

Ok, gonna make me cry, and she's not even mine. Our little Hannah is growing up. Praying that the world is kind and that her heart is strong in Jesus!!
