School Pictures

I am so grateful – Joy has a wonderful teacher and two fantastic aids.  Seriously, how  can we think of moving?

Ms. Laura takes the classroom pictures and she sent me some last night.  So precious!  What a blessing!  I knew before, but I am so grateful to know that my baby is loved and cared for at her school.

Her work station – being the ornery cuss that she is!

Her birthday cupcakes

Her teacher giving her a birthday kiss.  Ms Laura told Joy (with that blue mouth) to give her teacher a kiss.  Ms. Giebel is saying, “No!”

What a blessing this year has been!  Thank you Mrs. Giebel, Mrs. Brown, and Ms. Laura!!

Joy’s Week

Cute Joy in Brother’s tie         Another showing, another escape, this time to McDonald’s

Monday – Memorial Day  Marissa invited us over for a Crawfish Boil.  Great stuff!

Joy’s birthday balloon – she LOVES birthdays!

Sunday was Joy’s birthday – Seven years old!!  Unbelievable!  We love you so much Joy!  (I love the joy in this video!!)

We had a showing at our house, so we loaded up everything and everyone and went to Burroughs's Park for her dinner and cake!

Tea Party!

Joy’s Week

It’s official!  The house is on the market.  Praying for the right buyer!

Monday was Joy’s ARD.  The committee was so kind.  Everyone loves Joy.  How grateful I am for that!  Every morning she jumps out of the van into the arms of her aide with a huge smile.  Love them!  The committee took great care to word everything in her IEP so her new team would understand her strengths and some strategies to work on her weaknesses.  I seriously wish we could clone her team here and bring them with us!  So grateful for them and the wonderful year Joy has had!

Doing pedicures with sister

Going to the beach with the family

We ate at Benno’s. Joy is signing “wait.”  We played a waiting game while we waited for our food.  It’s a memory game and she did great!

At the beach – she was so excited, she couldn’t wait for her bathing suit!
