Another group of students making me proud!





I had my 4th group of students graduate last week from the nursing program. This group was truly unique,in the fact that they all had such strong inner motivation. I have never met a group of students who all wanted A's and all had the ability to achieve straight A's. I also had the privilage of teaching the daughters of 2 of my dear friends; what an honor! Again, I am a beaming, proud instructor!!!

1st Day of Preschool




Greta was so excited for her first day of preschool in the "big kid" room. She graduated from the 3 year old room to the 4-5 year old room. Greta loves school; she loves to help her teachers and play with her friends. It is hard to believe she has grown up so fast!

A day at the Zoo (no, not our house :)








We enjoyed a beautiful day at Como Zoo during one of the last weekends of summer. Mom was a little under the weather (you know,pregnancy stuff), but managed to survive the day! The kids favorite part of the day was the butterfly tent where we were surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of beautiful butterflies. What an amazing part of God's creation and such a unique way to experience it!

First Day of School





The children have started another exciting year of school. Claire has entered the big league and moved to the "big kid" side of the school with the bigtime lockers (and more homework). Charlie started kindergarten this year and excited he was!
Greta was quick to introduce Charlie to his classmates and Charlie was quick to comfort mom when she became a little emotional during the first day. Greta was very upset that she didn't get to stay at kindergarten but her time will come soon enough!
