Launching her into 3rd; Bittersweet!

It all started with a song. Yes, she wrote a song to commemorate the end of the summer and to get ready to move forward. Here are the lyrics.

She then sang it to us a few nights ago.

Tickle those ivories, Tot!

Now, it was vital that I get all the goodies together for dinner. I wanted her to have the best day before she goes to 3rd. We did have to go into school for orientation and also to meet Mrs. King. Tatum knows her from last year so it wasn’t too scary! She is a lovely women with three grown kids, a hubby, and a strong walk with Jesus.

First, she had some directions on the board to follow, then we said HI to Mrs. King with a plant and card.

She looks ready!

Dinner time! I made maple salmon with oven roasted maple carrots and rice. Salad too of course.

We got her all kinds of things to encourage. But first, she graduated from our little summer school which I wanted to celebrate.

Then I owed my wonderful family another big THANK YOU. I wanted this dinner to be about ending the summer well, and then launching her into a new grade with a special blessing.

Here is Tot’s card. Thank you for being with me all summer. I needed you so much and you were so present.

I also wanted to thank the Daddy. My HHH.

Tot, I am so excited for you. ROMANS 15:13 I claim for you!
‘May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
