Show And Tell

I've said it before on the blog

but I'll say it again...

 Crista's school is so great!

Today was another one of those days

that confirmed in my heart we've made the right decision

putting her in public school

and in this school in particular.

Crista has been so blessed with getting the most wonderful teachers,

both in Kindergarten and now again in First Grade!

Today Jake, Addie Grace and I

ate lunch with Crista at her school.

Its always a treat to spend extra time with our Crista.

During lunch Addie was invited by Crista's teacher, Mrs Bell

to come back at the end of the day for

Show And Tell.

I'm not sure who was more excited,

Crista or Addie Grace.

Addie always has a hard time with Crista going to school without her.

She {loves}being with her big sis!

So this afternoon we headed up to the school a little early

and Addie made herself at home in Crista's class.

She was thrilled to be working next to "Sissy"!

For Show And Tell

each student gets his/her time in the chair,

sharing what they brought

and telling the class a little about their treasure.

 

Crista was so proud to show off her treasure!



 

Crista sometimes gets shy when she's the center of attention

so I asked her if she wanted me to tell her class the story

of how Addie came into out lives.

She, of course,

said yes.

I know I've told the story before on the blog before

 {Click HERE}

so here's the short version :-)

 

When Crista was quite young she started asking for a baby sister.

Because the doctors gave us very little hope, 

(like less than 2% chance)

of ever getting pregnant,

I told her she'd have to talk to Jesus about that!

And so she prayed, a lot, for over a year

for that baby sister.

And God honored her prayers

and we were all blessed by our little Addie Grace!

 

I'm so glad the girls have such a unique bond

and extra glad Addie got to spend some special time with Crista today!
