Graduation Day!

Today was Kate's Preschool Graduation.  The last 5 years have really flown by - it's hard to believe she's starting Kindergarten in the fall!

So let's take a little walk through the last 5 years, including the few "1st day of school" pictures I remembered to take.  (whoops, Bad Mommy as Kate likes to say)

I still remember taking Baby Kate (as she came to be called at daycare) to Park Road Baptist Church at 4 months old for full-time childcare so I could work. Here is a picture of her at about the time she started at her very first preschool! 

October 2009, 13 months old (still going to Park Road Baptist CDC full time)

 

      October 2010, just over 2 (still going to Park Road Baptist CDC)

September 2011, 3 years old, 
1st day at St. Phillips Preschool (K3)

September 2012, 4 years old, 1st day at Lifepoint Preschool (K4)

And here is Kate before her 1st day of school this past year.  We were still in Texas so she was in Transitional Kindergarten at Lifepoint.  

Though I neglected to take a picture of Kate when she started at her new preschool in Greenville, here is a shot I took several days later.  (i love this sweet close-up!)

And here's how the big Graduation Ceremony played out today.  I took an abundance of pictures!

Here come the excited Graduates.

That's one excited Graduate!
