Easton started preschool

Well, after 3 years on the waiting list at the EEC at Green Acres, Easton is finally in! I have turned down the call a few times, because it wasn't the perfect scenerio--so this time when they called I just knew I needed to say yes. He is in the three year old class and now that he is potty trained...things are so much easier! It was a big transition from being at Mimi's (the lady that has kept him since he was a year old) and around the same friends he has been with for so many years...but after a little over a week, he loves it! The first few days were really rough for me and Jason and I had to switch our morning routines so that he could drop him off. I just couldn't handle the crying and begging me not to go! That is almost like him reaching into chest and ripping my heart out!! I would find myself crying on the way to work every morning and that it just TOO much! So, I took one week off and finally took him back on this last Friday. This time, he ran in and as he was running said, "oh mom, my friends are already here--I've got to go" without even looking back---I called him back over and said, "do I get a kiss?" He said, "oh, mom!"...So--I don't know which one is better... :)

Elle at Pine Cove

Elle was so excited this year to be able to go to Pine Cove! I had really wanted her to go to overnight camp, but when I found out that all of her friends just went to Day Camp--we changed our minds and sent her to Day Camp. It was still fantastic...but she did come home after the first day and say that she wanted to spend the night--with or without her friends! So, she is now officially pre-registered for overnight camp next year! They spent the week talking about Gideon and Elle seemed to enjoy the study and worship time immensely. Each day we were able to look at the website and see fun things that they were doing--here are a few of the pictures here...

What a huge blessing!
