Abraham and Annabelle say Goodbye to Preschool!

This is me with my absolute favorite princess in the world, Mei Mei!



And this was just too cute to pass up. I love watching baby Alex sleep. I wonder what he's thinking so hard about!

And now, enjoy some pics from the last days of Preschool! Can you find Abraham during circle time?

Sitting right by Ms. Devan for story time

Mrs. Olds and Ms. Devan were Abraham's teachers last year (for a semester) and taught Annabelle this year. They are great teachers.




Here we are visiting Abraham's class. He really loved Ms. Z



Here he's working on a project with Ms. Z


Annabelle loves, loves, loves to paint!


And cut playdough...






The kids have attended Sonshine Preschool this year and they've both grown so much. They spent 2 afternoons a week learning wonderful things from caring teachers and making good friends. I couldn't be happier with their first school experience. Now, they will be moving on to kindergarten, since in China, kindergarten begins at age 3. Annabelle will attend K-1, while Abraham will attend k-2. As we drove away from the preschool parking lot Thursday Abraham yelled, "Bye Sonshine, I have to go to Clifford School now!". Needless to say, we've been prepping them about how much they're going to love it, while silently hoping and praying that they really do!

    You look like you are 18 years old in the first picture with Annabelle. How are you doing? since I haven't talked to in so long.

    I was thinking the same thing about the picture of you. You look hot!

    So sad to say good-bye to so much! I'm so glad you had a great preschool experience. Joseph starts his this fall, so it's good to hear.

    Lori, not to sound like a broken record, but that really is a great photo of you. Your family must be so excited with so much going on. I hope to get to see you before your big move!

    Your kids will thank you later for the experence you're giving them buy moving to China. They learn so fast at this age, try not to stress out about everything.
