Rea's preschool graduation

My baby girl has graduated from preschool. She graduated on Thursday May 21. It was brutal. We have had a child in attendance at First Baptist Playschool for the last four years. I have really grown to love the sweet teachers. Leni, Tami and Melissa have loved my babies so well and I could never repay them for that. They have helped carry my kids through deployments, discipline issues and new baby brothers. They have poured their hearts into Wyatt and Reagan and it shows.  So, I held it together. Not a tear from me, yet.

The ceremony was adorable. The kids wore tiny caps and gowns and marched out to "Pomp and Circumstance". (May I just add that I am so thankful that I don't have to see Rea in a cap and gown again for another 13 years). The kids sang a few songs and then got their "diplomas". After it was over, we took some pictures with the teachers and THEN...

Then Rea started to cry. She didn't want to leave her school. She didn't want to leave her teachers. I held her there on the front row in that sanctuary and cried with her. Brutal. She loves this place and so do I. We have no way of knowing if we'll still be here in two years when Loyal starts preschool. As much as I want to get the heck out of Lemoore, I would be thrilled to have Loyal at that school.

So another Keever moves on and heads to Kindergarten next year. Where has the time gone?
