Love these smiles

Awana Graduation

The graduations continued Wednesday.  Haleigh was excited to be moving up in the program.  They even got little graduation caps there—so cute!  Although you will see in the pictures that Haleigh was reluctant to accept her white grad cap from them as she was STILL wearing  her hat from her Pre-K graduation!!  Chris had to go talk her into wearing the other one.  :)

After the graduation, we took the kids to Village Ice Cream for a celebratory treat to end the day.  The kids wanted to take a walk afterwards…they ended up walking all the way to the little school on the way home.  Have you any idea how far this is?! I just kept driving ahead and stopping in case they tuckered out.  The fact that they made it as far as they did was impressive!! They are so funny.

Haleigh graduates preschool

Today was a GREAT day for Haleigh!  She was so stinkin’ proud of herself for graduating preschool.  So proud, that she wore her hat all around town and was sure to tell every stranger we encountered that it was GRADUATION DAY! 

I’m proud of her too. I can just hardly believe that she is going into KINDERGARTEN!!  That’s just insane.  Watching my children grow is just so bittersweet.  I get teary just looking at these pictures of her.  My sweet baby girl is growing up quicker than I can even begin to keep up.  But then I look at her again in these pictures again and I see this beautiful child who is full of honest to goodness joy…who is eager to please and make others smile…who is a great example of true love…!  She is such a gift. 

The day didn’t end with Haleigh’s graduation at preschool.  We ended our evening with graduation at AWANA.  I have more pictures and videos to post tomorrow.  I figure I’ll just do one event at a time so stay tuned!
