Thank you Preschool Teachers!
My daughter doesn’t really nap anymore. We put her and her sister in their own beds from 1-3 p.m., but only one of them sleeps regularly.
Instead, it becomes my 4-year-old’s imagination playground. While I work or read or rest, I hear her singing and running around the little room, jumping off the bed or playing with “her money.” (She has been finding pennies lately and they are her most prized possession.)
But my favorite moments are when her little voice rises and falls with the recitation of Scripture she has learned at preschool. She quotes Ephesians 2:10: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.” Or she plays “Easter” with her toys, declaring the tomb empty….

Snapshots of the Month
We took our annual trip to Florida to spend time with our daughters’ birth family, as well as good friends that we hated moving away from in 2022!
Shiloh turned THREE, and we have been having so much fun with our cottage teens; eating slushies, going bowling, eating popsicles, swimming every day and reading aloud and watching movies at night.
Summer is a whole thing, and I am here for it.
Until next time!
All my best,
