"MAMA ANN"

All of us were so excited to see "Mama Ann," our friend and RA whom we have missed terribly this year. She surprised Chloe and walked her to the bus and then enjoyed some coffee and cuddles. It is so hard to believe that Laney was still crawling when we came here. Losing all of our beloved friends one by one as they move on reminds us how much has happened in these two short years -- and yet it seems like yesterday we were all getting acquainted!

This is a shot of Emma and her pre-school teacher, Mrs. Cerfus. She is wonderful! Yet another great blessing we can be thankful for. This was her musical program, which was precious. Emma was so thrilled because she got this beautiful fancy dress that very day -- when I was helping our pastor's family pack for their move and Hilary found some special dresses in her girls' closets for both Chloe and Emma. Yet another little blessing! It was perfect both for the occasion and for little Blue Eyes ;)

"The Beadsy Twins"
All of the girls had a great time practicing their fine-motor and design skills with this cute little wooden beading kit. Thanks, Uncle George!!!
