Melania Maycie & Mishayla Marian

Pre-School - Melania

I told Mishayla she could probably go to school if she always used the potty and had dry panties!
She took me seriously and started practicing. Someday, she will really hate this picture. She also gets rewarded by getting to play with PlayDoh.
And, here she is, my "big" girl, all ready for school! It's hard for me to believe that this is really happening. The last 4 3/4 years have gone by so quickly. Melania is so excited and so ready for school. She'll be 5 years old in December. The preschool is taught by a newly retired 1st grade teacher who seems to do a great job with the kids. They have quite the curriculum 3 days a week for 2 1/2 hours. It's just the right amount to prepare mommy for all-day kindergarten next year...

The Gift of Life

The Gift of Life
"I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you."
