Freddie's Preschool Graduation

Don't look now, but Freddie Pressley is a preschool graduate!

The ceremony was great - Freddie led his class (alongside Emily Claire Smith) in the Lord's Prayer - and according to Mrs. Delalio's announcement, he wants to be "a digger man" when he grows up.

He will be GREAT at that.

If you ask Freddie, though, the highlight of the whole experience for him was likely riding the school bus from the Early Learning Center to the main campus. He's been very sad about the fact that he never got to ride one, and JoJo did it on the regular (going from school to PE and school to the library as well as to three different field trips), so when torrential rain made it necessary to transport the graduates, I knew he'd be thrilled, and was he ever thrilled.

It was also pretty cool that Jeremy was asked to deliver the closing prayer at the ceremony. Afterwards, the boys and I had lunch with my mom at the Blue Rooster, and after that, we headed to Lake Chatuge for our first visit of the Summer.

Like a lightning strike, our year at HCA has come to an end. I am so grateful for the incredible experience that we had there. Should things not work out in our homeschooling adventure, I would feel 100% comfortable sending the boys back to Haywood Christian.  In fact, we're already planning to be on campus at least once a week. Mrs. Herbert has cleared us to attend chapel, so I'm so thankful for that!
