Dirty Faces and Graduation

I knew Heidi and Jess would be filthy when they got back from "the Farm," but I don't think I was quite prepared. Tim went to spread fertilizer on the hay fields and the oldest two got to go along. I enjoyed my day cleaning the house and enjoying the quite during Natalie's long naps.


Can you guess who plays the hardest?
These feet had socks and shoes on them!!!
Kindergarten Graduation 2009
It is simply amazing to watch children grow. Heidi has now completed her first year of school. We are so proud of her accomplishments and how much she has grown as a person.

Heidi's kindergarten teacher left within the first two months of school. I was a little apprehensive about the changing of teachers, but it turned out to be a very smooth transition. We all love Mrs. Scribner who just found out she was expecting right before taking the job. I have to compliment her on how relaxed she seemed to be whenever I entered the classroom. I'm not sure I could handle a class of 15 kindergarteners.

Heidi received a Writing Award for displaying a love and talent for writing. This girl is constantly drawing or coloring. Now that she has learned how to spell and sound out words, we find notes and letters everywhere. Of course, sometimes I have to ask what the words are, but she does a pretty good job for a kindergartener.

Look at the change! This was my "little girl" on her first day of school on August 27, 2008. Since then she's grown out of those pants that she's wearing and is on to the next size. I've always heard mothers talk about not being able to hold back the hands of time as they watch their children grow...and know I'm experiencing it firsthand.
