Movin' on up...to the Big School

Kyra's last day at Ms. Katie's was June 20 (before we left for our beach week). Erik and I can never express fully just how much we love and appreciate all the love and nurture that Katie has given to Kyra (and all the little munchkins) for the past 2+ years!! As many of you mommies know...or will know, it's very nerve-racking to think about leaving your child with a stranger and trusting in that person to love them like you would. Well, we found that Katie and da Crew quickly became friends and loved Kyra as her own. We're not as sad as we might have been, just because we can still see them at church. But, Katie, we all miss you and thank you for raising Kyra with us!!!

(picture of the poem/prints that we did for Katie)

My Hands and Feet

These are my hands and feet.
You watched me crawl and helped me eat.
These are my hands and feet.

This is my hair you used to comb.
And now, I can do it all on my own.
You've watched me grow and loved me so.
These are my hands and feet.

You taught me my numbers and ABCs
And helped me get over trees.
Hugs and kisses are my favorite treats.
These are my hands and feet.

Two little hands that used to tug
Now look forward to great big hugs.
Two little feet stood here today
To leave you memories of yesterday.
These are my hands and feet.
