I am coming to realize that I am a person who gets attached to things and people and places and moments, etc. I guess I've always know this about myself which is why I find it ironic that for the last 10 years of my life I have moved around and said good-bye and hello more times than I can count. Anyway, my attachment issues came to my attention again this week as Jordan finished her first year of preschool. Can this year really be over? It seems like just yesterday we arrived in Texarkana and now here's my Jordie, 6 inches taller and another year older.
After we had only lived here a few days, I loadad up my girls in the Texas heat, and we drove around town to "find Jordan's school." After a few stops and phone calls, we found the Walnut Church of Christ. We got out of the car, went into the school, talked to the director and Jordan turned to me and announced, "This is my school." I heartily agreed. We both felt so right about the situation. Enter attachment issues. Now the year is over and we are preparing to move again. I have had a tough week saying good-bye to her wonderful (seriously two of the best ever) teachers, her darling friends and her amazing school where she has grown and learned so much! Hello people, this is only preschool, right? I think Tod is beginning to wonder how I'm ever going to survive watching these girls grow up...lots of hellos and good-byes ahead of us. I'll just keep my box of kleenex handy for the next several years!!!!
The pictures are from her last few days of school. She had a program on Tuesday night, and it was so cute. Jordan is very detailed oriented, so she had picked out her outfit, shoes, necklace and hairstyle. For the last day of school, the class went to Chuck E. Cheese.

I stumbled onto your blog, after updating mine and couldn't leave without saying how beautiful your daughters are. What a lovely family!
I'm the same way. I get so attached to people and places and cry about everything. I've had a hard time with the fact that my oldest just had her last day of Kindergarten yesterday! :(
You are so wonderful! You will do great in your new place.
Oh, and we have that same butterfly shirt! Isn't The Children's Place the best?
Too cute! All of your pictures are flawless-you and your girls always look perfect. How do you do it? I'm sure I'll be the same way about getting attached. A few people are starting to say, "Oh, your girls are getting so big, they're not even babies any more." It makes me freak out. Yes they are! They'll always be my babies.:)
Getting attached is so easy!! I LOVED my kids teachers this year and wish they could stay with them forever! What am I going to do since they have 11-12 years worth of more teachers??
