First Day of Kindergarten

Thursday, August 7: Camden's First Day of Kindergarten!

Camden has a great teacher, Mrs. Lumpkin, at his new school. It's a private Christian school that is not far from our house. He did so well on his first day of school. He really likes Mrs. Lumpkin, and he enjoys school already. Daddy takes him to school which Camden really enjoys too. Mommy picks him up. We opted for half-day K because most of the instruction is in the morning, and Mommy didn't want him to have to grow up any faster than he had to! She's loved staying home with him for his first 5 years of life, and a full day of school can start next year!
His school has several campuses, and they want him to learn the name of the campus he attends. It's called the "M&M campus" because of the city/community location. So, they decorate with M&Ms everywhere to help the kids learn. He actually got a pack of M&M's to bring home his first day!The classroom is also decorated in frogs, which is just one of God's thumbprints on Camden's placement at this school. When he was born, we nicknamed him our little froggy because he would pull his legs up and then kick them out like he was a frog wanting to jump around. When we saw his name on a frog on the bulletin board in the hallway and then saw the classroom, we felt so overwhelmed with God's blessings on Camden's life! Below is a picture of our little froggy when he was just a day old:

Camden jumped right in our lives and blessed us immediately with his precious little life God created. As he's growing up and becoming more independent, we are truly thankful to the Lord for entrusting this precious child to us. Camden is such a joy to have as a son. We are truly blessed! I can't believe how quickly time has passed. Tune in next week for high school graduation pictures! It sure does seem like it goes by just that fast....
