The Graduate

Joshua graduated from preschool Friday. It's so hard to believe that our little guy is not so little anymore! He'll be a big kindergartner in the fall.
Teacher Patty has been the greatest blessing to our family. Josh has really flourished the last two years at Jake's Place and I am so thankful we're not saying goodbye yet. Matthew can't wait to start in September!
Here are a few pictures of the last few wonderful memories of Josh's preschool days.

Just for fun, this was Josh's first day of preschool. He looks so little!

Last day of school - pajama day!

Teacher Patty tells us that she thinks Joshua's spiritual gifts are peace and kindness.
And what she appreciates most about him is his love of learning, especially bible stories.

Reunited

Janelle and her family visited this last week from Alaska. It was the first time they have been back to Portland since they left three years ago. It was so much fun to spend time with one of the friends I hold nearest and dearest to my heart.
We got to spend an entire girls day together. We had lunch at Panera, went to Starbucks, did some shopping, went and had our makeup done at Origins and then went out for a little early birthday celebration with some of my favorite girls. It was a blast!!
Our kiddos had so much fun together! CJ and Josh were best buddies when they were 2 so it was so sweet to see them pick up where they left off. Adrian and Megan are so super cute too!
We sure are going to miss you Janelle, Derek, CJ, Adrian and Megan!!! We love you so much and are so blessed to call you friends.
