Sweet Cheeks Graduation From Kindergarten

How can it be?

How can it be that this

LITTLE GIRL

graduated from Kindergarten?

She arrived early.

and she was all smiles.

No uniforms today.

They could wear whatever they wanted.

SweetCheeks wanted 

RUFFLES and SPARKLES!

Of course she did!

And cute shoes with

SPARKLES, too.

Sisters graduated from their classes, too.

Onto Sixth grade for Lulu and 

Fourth grade for Ria.

She is all smiles here, too,

getting her graduation certificate.

SweetCheeks did not realize until

later that her time with Mr. Schultz

has ended.

She didn't realize that she would be in

a different room next year

with a different teacher.

When she did realize it...

Well, let's just say it broke

MY heart, too.

The smile was gone and replaced by

a silent tear.

Good-bye Mr. Schultz.

Sweet Cheeks will miss you.

Sometimes growing up has pain

mixed in with joy.

We are praying that 

SweetCheeks 

first grade teacher will love her

as much as Mr. Schultz did.

God bless you, Mr. Schultz,

and thank you

for taking such good care

of our girl!

ps...Just imagine the stories
HE has in his memory bank from
his year with SweetCheeks!
