5th Grade Daycare's Retirement Party

Andrea, Jakki, Julie, and the back of sweet Kathryn's head....we miss you Kathryn!!  Outside of the frame/shot, G-ma (Cynthia)
My maternity leave is quickly coming to an end and it was time to celebrate one of the people who has made things much easier on me during this time.  My long term sub, Julie James, is a precious person.  Yesterday, my team of 5th grade teachers came over after school and we celebrated Julie's "retirement" from her lonnnnng term subbing in my classroom.  She's such a giving and fun person.  I appreciate her so much!  We call it daycare because my friend, Cynthia, (another amazing woman) brings her granddaughter, Faith, and we have 5 adults and 3 babies, so.....the term "5th Grade Daycare" was coined -  by Jakki?  :)
Faith, Macy and Molly with the cool mobile that Aunt Ginger sent recently!  Love it!
Jakki and Julie have fed my babies many, many times!   
So, I will be in great hands when I return to school....a team that supports each other....a principal who is amazing - hands down.......a sub who handled things beautifully....a wonderful lady caring for my girls.....a husband who is willing to let me sleep and do all that is needed......a really comforting set of circumstances. 

Thanks for coming over ladies!  This was a nice way to end my time at home....lots of laughs....food....fun....babies.  Ahhhhhh.........

  1. I love your new family picture! You capture so many great shots of the girls, too! We love that book that Heather gave you guys. Sometimes, I will catch J sitting over by the book basket pretending to read it while pointing to all of the body parts they mention on himself and on the characters. So funny! See what you have to look forward to...x2! Thank for leaving a comment on my blog! I am so glad that you are a blogger mommy like me!! I would be very sad if I couldn't watch your precious girls grow up. Good luck next week.
