Last night, we celebrated Owen's promotion from Pre-K at Blessed Sacrament School. This has been such a wonderful first year for him in school (in Georgia, Pre-K is the first year of school versus Kindergarten), and we could not be happier with our choice of school or our luck of teachers. Blessed Sacrament feels like family to us, like Owen's home away from home. It's tough to describe it exactly, but you know it's a good thing when you experience it. His teachers have embraced him, loved him, taught him and challenged him. Not the leader of the class, but not the most shy either, Owen fit right in. He developed what we hope are lasting friendships (and even a little 4 year-old crush on a sweet girl). Each quarter, he made steady progress in the curriculum, and in the last quarter, he got a perfect report card. It was a great year. And, we're ready to move to the "big school" which includes uniforms, shoelaces, belts, tucked in shirts, nightly homework, and the biggest adjustment - no more naps. We'll find out Owen's Kindergarten teacher in August, but we know God's got someone special in mind for him.
