Graduation

On Monday, January 26, I was officially finished with my teacher accreditation program.  It was a very, very long year of a tremendous amount of work but I am done!!!!!  The program had a small graduation ceremony for those of us that had finished our coursework, had our portfolios signed off on and our exit interviews in December. It was really nice but what was the best part is that my little Doodlebug was there. We talked about school, how important school is and how wonderful it is to graduate and what that means.  She was just amazing and understood that this was a big deal.  She was quiet when everyone spoke, we all had to get up and speak, and was just so grown up!  She gave everyone thumbs up and high five's when it was all over! We then topped off the evening by stopping at our favorite ice cream parlor, getting some ice cream to go and making small sundaes when we got home!  Now, I just have to wait for the state to send me my teaching licence!  I have been told they are on the slow side!

Me and my sweet little Doodlebug!

Kirk unfortunately couldn't be with us, he had a gig, but here are the three girls!  We had forgotten to get a picture of us at the ceremony so we hopped next door to our neighbors house and got a picture!
