On to Kindergarten...

Today was Savannah's last day of preschool, which we celebrated with a class picnic at the park. It is hard to imagine my baby girl in kindergarten this August-- but is happening, so I better get used to it :) We finally heard this week that she will be attending Yountville Elementary School-- which we are thrilled about. Kindergarten enrollment was quite a roller coaster ride this year with all the budget cuts-- but thankfully there was a place for us through open enrollment at Yountville Elementary. It is a great little school with a wonderful sense of community & lots of family support. We are all looking forward starting our journey there at the end of the summer-- especially Miss Savannah! Here are some fun pictures of Savannah and her buddies from preschool celebrating their big "graduation"!


Savannah & I spent the morning together with a trip to Starbucks. 
 She got a hot chocolate & was so proud of the fact it came in "like a real coffee cup"


   Savannah & Gracie



So this is a picture of Savannah with her two 
best friends (Claire & Joey) at the beginning of the year...


And this was them today-- not a great picture I know. 
But it amazes me how much they changed during the school year. 
What is even more amazing is that all 3 of them have known
 each other and played together since they were babies! 
Claire & Savannah will be in the same 
kindergarten class in the fall too.


Savannah & Mrs. O'Bryan-- the BEST preschool teacher!



Savannah & Gracie pushing Brody & Cade



A special gift from Mrs. O'Bryan. They read this book together 
as a class all year & have a special song they learned to sing that goes along with it.



I even got a special gift-- a picture from the Mother's Day Tea



This book is a favorite of mine-- I had to share! 
Savannah has been working on this all year. It is neat to see the progression...
