Friday Festivities

Friday morning started off with the annual meet the teacher event!  After the whole k/1 combo mess, when Mrs. Safran called last week I literally cried tears of joy.  She taught Savannah in first grade and it was an amazing experience so I was hoping Preston would also get her.  Thankfully, he did (finally)!!

After talking with Mrs. Safran and snapping a picture, we headed to the spirit wear table to help out before it was time for Savannah's meet the teacher.

She got Mr. Grabon!!  This will be her first experience with a male teacher, but from what we hear (and from what I know from subbing for his class) he's a super funny guy!  Word on the street is that he's also great at bringing shy kids "out of their shell" so this seems like a perfect fit.  I cannot wait for school to start.  I truly have such a peace about both of their teachers.

After meet the teacher and a quick lunch we headed to the pool one last time with the Marions.  Another family from church showed up too so the kids had a super fun time swimming until it was time to go home for dinner.  Then the fun continued, as right after dinner Dave took Preston to Carmel for the first grade celebration event.

They had a great time learning together about how things are a bit different in Children's ministry.  Mrs. Lee talked about big church, gave Preston a church bag filled with fun things, they all had icecream sundaes, and dressed up like super heros too!

We're getting SO close to back to school and the pieces seem to be falling right into place for a fabulous year!
