Proud parent

You know those proud parent moments? You know, the ones where you can't wipe the smile of your face? The ones where you want to announce to the world how great your kid is? Justin and I had that this morning....

Olivia attended St. Susanna's this morning for a kindergarten screening/orientation. The parents had to wait in the gymnasium while the kids went inside their new classroom to meet their teacher, take a tour, have an assessment done by themselves. There were some tears in the beginning. She was anxious. Didn't know anyone or the land of the school. But she was BRAVE. She fought back those tears and let her new teachers lead her back to her new classroom. She was gone about 50 minutes and when she came back she was beaming with excitement. And when Olivia's happy - her excitement is contagious. It confirmed, to Justin and I, that we DID make the right decision on where our kids to attend school. We sensed the family/community feel right away. We were all welcomed with opened arms. It felt great!

Here she is - the future St. Susanna Titan. Her home away from home the next 9 years...
