We'll Miss You, Ms. Jennifer

Jackson "graduated" from pre-K on Tuesday and said good-bye to Ms. Jennifer.  She's been in our life for about four years now ... teaching Hank's special education pre-K and now teaching Jackson who was attending as a "peer" child in the special education program, too.  

This year, we got to follow her journey to Columbia to adopt her daughter, Nataly and to see her transformation from a single person to a mom (see her link on the right side of my blog). 

She has put up with my sometimes grumpy self ... my laid back self ... my "running late" self.  And, she still is nice to me!  :)  She's really been a great teacher.

Jackson had big hugs for her to say "thank you" for everything and for making him an end-of-year "yearbook" like his older brothers get from school (see red notebook in his hand ... that's his yearbook of pictures).  We're hoping to have the chance to have her over sometime this summer for a cook-out with Nataly ... who Jackson and Zoe think is really, really cool!

I enjoyed having both Hank & Jackson in class (& having you as a classroom parent!) :-)

We'd love to come over sometime. Nataly talks about Jackson & Zoe & would love to hang out with them - thanks - that's a very sweet offer...
