A FIRST Day for Haddie Girl

I teach English part time in the

mornings at a high school.

For the last two years while I taught,

Hadlee has stayed with Mrs. Heather...

an angel that loved my baby girl like

her own. Unfortunately Heather is going

back to teaching this year.

I had signed Hadlee up for three day

pre-school & my mom was going

to keep her the other two days.

I began to worry during the summer

about all the transitions we are having

this year & then that Haddie would

be doing different things each day.

'Mommy Instict' was really kicking in when

I received a call from a wonderfully

sweet lady about two weeks ago.

She had kept my closest school friend's little

girl & she now had a spot for Hadlee!!!

GOD IS SO GOOD!!!

I know Haddie would have been

just fine in the other situation, too,

but this was just more perfect for us...

especially this year!

SOOOOOO...Hadlee had her first

day with Mrs. Janice on Tuesday.

SO FAR, SO WONDERFUL!!!

Mrs. Janice lives less than five minutes

from us and her home is on my way

to school. She keeps another three

year old little girl & a four year old boy.

This week alone, Hadlee has made

a necklace, studied the letter A, made

an apple tree, and an airplane.

Keep in mind she is only there for

three and a half hours!!!

God really took care of my best girl

and me in this situation (as usual!).

I already love Mrs. Janice myself!!!

No tears have been shed when I leave (yet)!

When I picked Hadlee up on that first day,

she was ALL SMILES!!!

We came home and she immediately

made Walker his lunch.

Haddie Homemaker loves to make

PB&J's for her brother!!!

Beautiful, blond curls...
who would have ever thunk it?!?

The rest of the day, I just had an extra skip in

my step. There is nothing in this world more

important than the happiness and well-being

of my family. Having peace with where Hadlee

stays in the morning is truly PRICELESS!

I love this picture because my sweet girl is so happy and because I love her sweet feet...And in this picture, I love her precious little hands. God made her so perfect to me!

She is love!!!

Of course I adore this picture...there's nothing like the two of them playing together!A funny side story about this crazy little guy. The night before Haddie's first day, we were choosing which cup she would take her water in. Hadlee chose one and said that Lucy had the same cup. Lucy was the little girl she stayed with at Mrs. Heather's. I quickly reminded Hadlee that Lucy wouldn't be at Mrs. Janice's. Walker looked at Haddie and said, "Oh, man, you gotta make all new friends." THANKS, Walker!!!Haddie Pattie Pie,

I hope that the rest of your days with Mrs.

Janice are wonderful. I love how you will be

interacting with two other little ones and

learning all kinds of good stuff that mommy

is not good at taking the time to teach you!

I secretly say a prayer for you and your

brother each and every night over your beds

while you sleep...

specifically for your health, your happiness

and your love of Jesus.

(And recently for your love of a new

baby brother or sister!!!)

I love you more than words, Beautiful Angel!!!
