TRIAD Goodbye

After 5 years at TRIAD, we had to say goodbye!  We will miss so many of the incredible people at this preschool.  I truly think of them as part of my tribe.  We're very hopeful we will see these gals at the lake soon!

Jordyn | Kindergarten

After a slew of paperwork, a home visit, and a meet the teacher night, Jordyn has started school!  She was so excited and despite my current feelings, I know she's going to love Kindergarten!  If only I could keep her with me forever!! We consider her teacher, Mrs. Cook, the best part of Southeast Elementary {perhaps all of Ankeny Community Schools}.  She's truly a gift from God and exactly was this mama {& Jordyn} needed!  Prayers for an awesome school year ahead!

Art Class | Jordyn

Jordyn just finished an 8 week art class through the our city {much like her cooking class}.  It was convenient being just across town instead of downtown Des Moines, but I will say, the projects were much like you do in elementary art class.  They did 2-3 quick projects a night where as the Des Moines Art Center does one nicer project each week.  I'm glad we tried it, she really enjoyed it, but we probably sign up again.
