New School

It is with a saddened heart that I share with you that Friday is Allie's last day at Miss Natalie's house. Allie has been cared for by Natalie since she was about four months old. She has done an amazing job with Allie. Allie will be so sad to say goodbye to Natalie and her best friend Makayla. Makayla and Allie are so cute and have such a blast when they're together. And not to leave Dillon out, Natalie's 11 month old son. Allie is sure to miss him as well.

We are enrolling Allie in Desert Dawn Private School. It is for kids ages 18 mos thru kindergarten. We have no doubt that Allie will continue to grow and learn at this new location. It seems like an amazing place. The tenure of the teachers is crazy. The place was opened 23 years ago and there are teachers that have been there as long as 21 years! Allie's own teacher has been there for 13 years and both of her children went through the program. The site also has a goat, sheep and chickens which will be a hit with Allie. Plus, they have a vegetable and flower garden that the kids help with.

I'm so nervous as Friday gets closer and Monday approaches. This is the most nerve-racking thing as a working parent that I can think of, hoping that you've made the right choice for your child. We definitely were lucky in finding Natalie, so I'm hoping we've made the best decision again. As these next few days go by, please keep Allie and us in your thoughts in prayers as we work through this transition.
