School Girl

Last week was a big week for our family, but mostly for Samarrah. We moved so the kids had to deal with a new home and a new ward and on top of that Samarrah started preschool. She is going to Miss Lesly's preschool, it is a woman who was in my ward growing up. I am SO impressed with the preschool and Samarrah loves going. She gets to go with friends from our old ward, so it is nice that she still gets to see them often. we went out and had a fashion show at the dressing rooms a kohls to pick out a new outfit for school. She had her first Daddy's blessing before school, it was beautiful and I know it really helped her. It's is definitely new for us having a preschool schedule, but we love it and we are having fun hanging out with Ayo, and hearing all about Samarrahs day at school.
So we moved! Not far from my parents, but far enough to be in a new ward. We are mostly unpacked, and are feeling at home. It has been a great experience for us. We are ETERNALLY grateful for all my parents and sisters did for us, and feel blessed with the place we found and the price we got it for. Sunday was our first day in our new ward, and the kids did GREAT. Samarrah went straight to her class with a smile on her face, she was probably just excited about the nearly 20 sunbeams we have in our ward! Ayo walked straight into nursery, he never even did that in our old ward. They are getting so big an independent, they amaze us everyday! We are so proud of the little people they are.
