We were incredibly fortunate to find the sweetest part-time babysitter this summer (two actually). A friend of a friend told me about Jenna. She is a college graduate who was moving locations and careers at the end of the summer so she was looking for something until then. She was PERFECT. Jenna was easy to have around the house and Kate and the boys loved her too. Jenna helped me juggle the demands of keeping 3 kids of very different ages and interests relatively happy this summer and for that I am so grateful. Kate loved to brush Jenna's hair (above).

Harry and his kindergarten teacher (she was going to be his 2nd grade teacher too).
Yesterday, Harry had a BIG day! His kindergarten teacher (Mrs. B) came to pick him up in her cool V*olkswagen bug and took him out for the afternoon. They met up with Harry's 1st grade teacher for ice cream. Then they went to the bookstore where she bought him a book and bookmark. I think it is incredibly special that his last two teachers wanted to spend some quality time with him before we move. We love you Mrs. B and Ms C. and will will miss you very much!
That is so sweet. I love that Harry's teachers appreciate what a wonderful little guy he is.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet!! Harry will remember them both forever!!
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet about Harry's teacher. Elisabeth still e-mails with her 6th grade teacher Mr. McMahon...she will never forget him.

ReplyDeleteShe is so cute -- couldn't you just take pictures all day long!! How nice that Harry's teachers came and spent time with him. I'm sure everyone loved your summer helper -- she looks like a sweet girl. Am sure you're busy packing. Take care and have a good weekend.

What a fun outing for Harry! Cute pictures of Kate! I think all of your posts are going to make me cry until you move!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what wonderful teachers! Harry looks so proud and happy in those photos! Miss Kate is just adorable as always:) Love, Clare
ReplyDeleteThat is the sweetest thing. My favorite teacher was my 2nd grade teacher. She lived down the street from me and I remember as a child going to her house to say hello.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your move. We too are moving. We are moving down to Florida. We miss the beach and Disney World. I hate being cold.
Take Care

ReplyDeleteHow sweet, and what a blessing to know they love him so much.

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteThis is my 3rd attempt at leaving you a note ... for some reason blogger kept erasing my comments ... hopefully this will work! :-)
First I wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers ... having moved a few times in my life I know how hard moving can be. I also know how rewarding and life changing it can be. I wish you nothing but happiness.
I also wanted to thank you for recommending the book "Mitten Strings for God". It was just what I needed.
I am glad you having a nice summer ... I love your beach pictures!!!
Warmly,
Michelle
