Abby Kate's First Day of Preschool!

Many new posts today so scroll on down.  Finally catching up on our last month!

We really struggled with what to do with Abby Kate this year.  We really did not want her in school all day every day but knew she was getting bored at home and would love time with other kids.  We found a preschool we ADORE and not only teaches but instills character and the word of God in its students.  She goes three days a week for 3 hours and she absolutely loved it!  Her first words when she got in the car was "that was a BLAST!"

Fun little side story...we went to see some friend's new house yesterday and they had a lake in front with hundreds of lily pads.  Our friend that was with us mentioned that was where frogs lived.  AK is obsessed with frogs.  So the rest of the time was filled with her constantly asking if she could get a frog.  We left without one which made her so, so sad.  This morning, I was taking a shower and noticed something behind the toilet.  When I got out and looked closely I realized it was a frog.  On the third floor.  Inside.  When AK came upstairs to find me, I told her God had sent her a very special first day of school present.  She was elated!  She always credits God for sending her special things.  I love that about her.  So I told her we would let it go before we left but she asked if we could take it and show it to her new friends.  So I told her I would ask her teacher and she tucked it in the side of her new backpack.  On the way over (it is a 20 minute drive) she started sobbing saying her eye hurt.  I pulled over at a rest stop and checked to find an eyelash.  We got it out but AK was very upset.  When she gets in a funk, it is hard to get her out.  I kept trying to get her mind off of it but she could not be swayed.  I just started praying.  I knew the enemy did not want her in this school, learning God's word and being challenged.  So when we pulled up her teacher came to get her out of the car and I told her about the tree frog.  She was so excited and told AK to bring it in and she just cried "THANK YOU!" and took off happily!  When I picked her up, her teacher said they loved that frog and one of them carried it around all day.  I just got so teary thinking of the details God tends to make things special for us.  Even a frog for a 4 year olds first day of school.  Just one of the reasons I ADORE Him!
