During the new-found time Kessed now has all to herself at home, she’s been doing puzzle after puzzle after puzzle.  (Sometimes the same one several times in a row!).  She LOVES to put puzzles together!  She will sit sometimes for 30-45 minutes and do puzzles.  It’s amazing how enthralled she is with them!

Her favorite part……showing me it’s done!

This puzzle’s one of her favorites.  I love it that my three-year-old’s already learning geography and it’s nice to show her that we know people on (almost) every continent….all who are telling the world how much Jesus loves them!

Well, I had to take another picture of Sarah Grace in her school uniform.  They actually have quite a variety of things they can wear, thank goodness!  She looked so big again I couldn’t resist a picture.  I hope she can keep her shirt tucked in today.  She’s so skinny that it keeps coming untucked and these skirts have no belt-loops!  I finally had to change her skirt this morning from the size 6 to the size 5 and it’s still a tad bit loose on her!

I forgot that there might be garage sales when I took Sarah Grace to school on Thursdays and Fridays!!  Kessed and I hit one on our way home today and she got some fun stick-on earrings just because she’s so cute!  People give her stuff all the time!  She was pretty proud of them!

The girls after Sarah Grace got home from school yesterday!  It was precious!  Micah ended up picking her up since he didn’t get to take her the morning of her first day…….Kessed was really unhappy that she wasn’t going to get to pick up Grace, but she got over it!

Today’s the first day of Kindergarten for Sarah Grace and the first day of yet another semester of Seminary for Micah.  I can’t quite figure out what to do!  It’s so quiet without Sarah Grace here!  Kessed is content working puzzles while humming (and not having Big Sister helping her) and I’m just feeling a little bit lost!  Guess I’ll post some pictures!

Daddy gives Sarah Grace some “first day of school” advice

Sending Daddy off for his first day of school…..that was much easier!

Our Big Kindergarten Girl!

Wonder when they’ll make pink school uniforms?!?!

The smile before my tears!

Lining up – there are only 11 kids in the class and she has a FABULOUS teacher, Mrs. Richardson!!  What a blessing!

Kisses to moms and dads

Sarah Grace was sooo glad to have her little friend, Annie (just in front of her), from preschool in her class

The picture’s a little blurry, but this was Kessed running after Sarah Grace when they were heading in.  She was trying to “keep” her!  (That’s what she always tells us when she doesn’t want us to go – “I’m gonna keep you!”)

Heading to her new classroom

Kessed really wanted to play on the playground with Sarah Grace at school, but she couldn’t.  As we were leaving she asked if we could go play somewhere, so we did!  We headed over to our church’s playground for a quick play – just the two of us!  It was sweet!
