Oh The Places She'll Go

Maddie recently graduated from 4 year old kindergarten.  How is that possible?  It seems like yesterday that we welcomed her into the world.  She introduced us to a whole new world that we had heard about, but couldn't grasp how beautiful and special it would really be!  I have loved every second of our journey as grandparents with her (and Lillian), and can't wait to see what the future has in store!! 

Jacob's Ladder is an awesome preschool!  It's provides a wonderful, loving Christian environment.  Her teacher, "Miss Ellen" simply can't be beat.   As a life long educator, it takes a lot to really impress me, but I have been deeply impressed by this school, and am so thankful our grandbabies will all get to benefit from it!

 The pictures are not the greatest!


What a precious group!!  Most are headed to different schools, but for at least a little while they were the  best of buddies!!

Not too sure about the tongue, but she sang her heart out!!

Each child told their name and where they wanted to go!  I heard Disney World, the beach, the dollar store, Chick-fil-A, etc.  When it was Maddie's turn, she said, "My name is Madelyn and I want to go to Nana and Pop's."  Be still my heart!!  (And her teacher has a daughter named Madelyn, so Maddie wanted to use her full name.)

This picture of Miss Ellen was taken from the big screen.  She is reaching in for Maddie's diploma.

Maddie has been very emotional about leaving Miss Ellen and her friends at Jacob's Ladder.  And while it will be a big change for her, she is also excited about big school and making new friends.



I can't wait to see what God has in store for this precious girl!!!
