Its Official, Katie is Starting Kindergarten!

Katie,

Wow!  You are starting Kindergarten at Bayleaf Baptist Church tomorrow.  Honestly, there has been some long days and nights (like when you weren't sleeping as a baby, toddler and later :), but the years have flown by-you are six years old!  You are extremely excited-like jumping up and down, dancing and singing today in anticipation-to start and have been counting down the days until September 3rd.

As your daddy was putting you down tonight he came into the bathroom to check on your teeth brushing and noticed you had pulled out the floss.  Why the floss, Daddy asked? Your answer was that as you start kindergarten you should also start to floss.  :)  You also told Daddy that you were thankful I had made your a morning schedule so that you wouldn't move a 'slow pokey pace'.  And if you moved at this 'slow pokey pace' you would certainly be late for school, you said.  The highlight of your schedule is that you still have some time to play with Owen before we leave for school.  Your Daddy and I love that you two are such great buddies!

Katie, we love you like crazy and honestly are a bit sad you are starting school. The sadness comes because we know you are growing up! But ultimately we know this is the best thing for you!  We have prayed and prayed for your schooling and that Mrs. Streit and Mrs. Ferrell will be wonderful teachers for you. You will be in a great setting with 14 other kids with the premise of learning about God, His Glory and His love.  I know for sure that your teachers love Jesus, they have been praying about you and that they love you too!

We LOVE you Katie Grace and can't wait to see how the year turns out!  We are praying that you will have a learners heart and listening ears, that you will persevere when things are difficult, that will be work hard and try your best and that you will have a fantastic/fun time learning all your subjects!  You will do great in class, HUGS and KISSES!

Love,
Daddy, Momma and Owen
