Good-bye First Grade

It seems like just yesterday that I was taking my first born to his first day of preschool and here we are today and it's his last day of first grade. My goodness how time is flying by! Preston has had a wonderful year and we feel extremely blessed that he gets to go to such a great school with great teachers. His teachers this year were Mrs. Renee Pepin and Mrs. Tina Mayhall. We seriously could not have asked for better teachers. They have been a blessing to our family. Preston has continued to blow our socks off with his intelligence. He made straight A's all 4 nine weeks and ended this semester with a 98% in Language Arts and 100% in Math! We are sooooo proud! He came home with an MCT2 (state test here in MS) practice book yesterday and has already completed several pages in which all of his answers were correct. Friday after his field day, Lotti took us shopping and he wanted to spend his money on books so he bought 2 books that he hopes to have finished by the end of the summer. One of the books is over 300 pages so we set a goal of 2 pages a night starting June 1st. Yeah, Sunday he was already on page 33. :) He definitely gets his smarts from his daddy! Preston Scott Shands, Daddy and I can't say it enough, but we are SO PROUD of you. God has definitely spoiled us by giving you to us. We love you and thank God for the opportunity to be your parents.
