Comfort and Joy

I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will
give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:13

Muffins with Moms

We LOVE Christ Methodist Day School.  It has been a wonderful year and such a great way to start off Austin's school career.  We love his teacher Mrs. Griesbeck and the teachers assistant Mrs. Grace.  I can't say enough great things about it.  Right when I thought I couldn't love it more they did "Muffins with Moms".  Be still my heart...one of the most precious mornings I have ever had.  I was probably a little more emotional due to lack of sleep because it was during the crazy week of no sleep, sickness, and daddy gone but it was such a precious time with Austin.  Mrs. Griesbeck went all out for the moms.  We were served on and loved on.  I walked away feeling refreshed and loved by my little guy and he loved it too.

When I first arrived I was greeted with a corsage with one of my favorite little guys pictures in it.

They served us a little plate of goodies and presented us with our gift. Untitled
They each drew a picture of their mother that was then shrunk down and put on a necklace. I love it! Austin said he put me in my black pants and blue shirt I like to wear. He's talking about my yoga pants and workout shirt. I think I need to work on wearing something else every once in a while. =) Untitled
They finished the morning with a slide show from the entire year.  I was trying so hard to keep it together.  Truly so blessed by this precious school!

Thank you Mrs. Griesbeck and Mrs. Grace for loving my boy so very much and loving his mommy as well.  You have made transitioning into school easy and fun.  We are so thankful for both of you!
