Metz Milestones

IT IS FINISHED! (well, sort of...)

It took nearly two years (due to the birth of a daughter and opening of a preschool), but last night I finished piecing Clark's quilt. I still have to add the border and get it quilted, but Clark & I are very pleased with how it looks on his bed. He was very excited to see it this morning and was quick to inform Clementine that is was his and not hers. Thanks, Granny, for all of your help!

PIGTAILS!

Clementine's hair finally long enough and thick enough for pigtails! She loves for us to fix her hair. In fact, most mornings the first thing she says to us when we get her out of her crib is, "Hair bow! Pretty!" We love having a little girl!

ALUM CREEK PRESCHOOL IS OPEN!

Clark's first day of preschool was last week! We are so excited to have a preschool for him at our church! After months and months of watching and waiting through all the preparations he was so excited when his first day of school was here. He loves his teacher, Mrs. Angie, and thinks she is so cool and fun. Angie is a good friend who was right alongside me through the whole process slaving away getting the preschool off the ground. I am so glad that Clark is in her class!

He has already learned so much in just two weeks. He had his first show and tell day. Since they are learning about the letter "A," he was encouraged to bring something that started with the letter "A." Bug, he brought that little alligator we bought for him at Gator Park and told about his trip to Flordida (as he says it).

I am so thankful to everyone who helped get Alum Creek Preschool open! We have been so blessed. I started a waiting list this week for one of the classes, and the other two classes are almost full.

Clementine is learning how to adjust to being at church but not being with Clark during school hours. She is loving the extra one-on-one time with Dad. We're all adjusting to our new routines, but so far everything is going great!

This is a picture of Clark on his first day in class. We have pictures of him with his backpack and lunch box, but those are on the other computer so maybe they'll make a future post.
