We celebrated Leah's sixth Birthday a couple of weeks ago! I can't believe she is six! Seems like it was yesterday that we were at the hospital waiting on this little bundle of joy to come into this world. I went into labor on Wednesday April 26th at 8:30 pm........she was born on Friday April 28th at 2:27am!!! The funny thing is, she has always taken her time with things, very calm, more reserved, and patient! I love being her Mommy and watching her grow. I love her gentle, nurturing, loving spirit. She has always been the same. We asked her what she wanted to do with Mommy and Daddy for her birthday. She chose to go ice skating! So that's what we did! We had so much fun!
This is a picture of Leah on her first day of Kindergarten, August 15, 2011. We were practicing our Indian poem......she loves Indians! : )

Pumpkin patch field trip....
Her first story that she wrote all by herself....
Her favorite books are Junie B. Jones.....I think they are one of my favorites too!
We arrived at the last day of school today! It was bitter sweet for me....I am so glad to be done for the Summer, yet at the same time I can't believe she's done with Kindergarten! It kind of scares me at how fast time is going by.
In one-hundred-and- eighty days of school, Leah has learned to read, write all letters, write sentences and short stories, punctuation, over 100 sight words, adding up to the sum of 10, subtracting, how to count by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's to 100, basic word problems, coin value and counting, and much more! I am very proud of her and all her hard work!
I am thankful that God has given me the ability to home school her and teach her these things! We are very excited about our summer break. We are also looking forward to the first grade this fall......and the new student in Kindergarten! : ).....now what to do with the preschooler?!?!? : )
Leah is a very sweet girl, all my girls are, but, Leah is a very sensitive girl. She LOVES to have one on one time with Mommy. She LOVES to drink "coffee" with me and talk my ear off, she LOVES to go on walks with me and talk...... I love it too......she loves the little things, she loves words. : )
Her last reading assignment was to read this card I wrote for her. She lit up with joy when she read that she had completed Kindergarten...and so did I! : )
May 14th, 2012...DONE with Kindergarten! : )
