Katie's 2'nd Primary Program

So today was a big day for Katie and I as it was our primary program. I serve in the primary presidency in our ward and LOVE the calling. It gets a little nerve racking on days like today when we had to pull off a relatively easy flowing program with 100+ children. There are about 30 children alone in Katie's age group.
I hope it was a success. We tried something different this year and instead of having the children do individual parts we decided to have each class recite a monthly theme for the year. We also had a lot of singing which is always the best part anyway. I love hearing children sing. Some of the beautiful music that was sung was "I'm a Child of God" in Spanish. We also sang "I Know that My Redeemer Lives" with sign language. Honestly I'm so proud of our primary and Katie (Dan said he could often hear her little voice singing the music).

Gotta love the STATE FAIR!!!

Watch out KINDERGARTEN

I've heard people say that having children is like having a piece of your heart outside your body. Today I knew exactly what that meant. We've been so excited for Katie to start Kindergarten. This summer she learnt how to swim by herself, ride her bike without training wheels and do the monkey bars at the park ! The only thing left was starting BIG SCHOOL;) She has also been getting bored at home and so I was thrilled when school stared today. Needless to say...after she ran into class with her friend Mari, I started to cry. I love this amazing spunky little 5 year old so much!
Her little sister, Sharon, cried the second she realized she wasn't going to get to go with her favorite person in the world to school...I guess we'll all miss her. Good luck Katie, I'm so proud of you and know you'll do great!
