Goodbye, Lakeside

It's hard to believe we are saying goodbye to Lakeside Presbyterian Preschool. It has been a wonderful school where both kids received excellent instruction and care. Warner had his preschool graduation ceremony last week. I am proud to report I only teared up once during the entire morning! 

The kids sang a few songs, and then each of their names were read and they walked up to receive their "diploma". 

Our big kindergartener. Where has the time gone?

Joe, Linda, and my Mom were there with us to celebrate with us.

Yesterday was the last day of preschool. I definitely got teary eyed as I walked the kids into school for the last time. Lakeside has truly been a wonderful place for our kids, and I'm never good at marking the end of seasons of life. Obviously Maren will still be in preschool next year, but since we are moving her to Kids Academy at our church, we won't be visiting Lakeside anymore.

Picture from the last day of preschool ... and our little 2 year old on his first day at Lakeside back in September 2010.

A few more blasts from the past: first day of preschool, September 2011 (Maren's first year of preschool with Mrs. Krebs in the 2 year-old class):

 And the first day of school this year: September 2012:

 I do think they get cuter with time though.

 Sad to bid this season farewell, but happy to embrace what lies ahead. I sure am one blessed lady.
