Ty's Kindergarten Graduation

Today was a monumental day for the Vanker Family. Our oldest, Ty graduated from Kindergarten! It is hard to believe he has already finished Kindergarten. Where did the time go? I have heard mothers say that time really flies once your kids start school and it is absolutely true. It was a great ceremony, a little long, but great. Ty was a bit nervous as we were on our way to school this morning because he was asked to give the opening prayer in the ceremony. We prayed through his fears and asked the Lord to allow him to be confident and to remember that he was just praying to God and no one else. He did a great job! The students sang a bunch of songs, did songs in sign language, said all of there ABC memory verses and got their awards. It was such a sweet time for our family, aside from the fact that the ceremony went for an hour and a half and my other kids got a little bored.:) I'd say it went quite well considering the circumstances. We are so thankful for Eastside Christian. It is truly a blessing to be apart of this school. Here are some highlights from the ceremony and Ty with his amazing teachers, Mrs. Bell and Miss Anna.

Ty's last Kindergarten Field Trip

I have had the great privilege of going to all of Ty's field trips, but this last field trip was by far the best! Ty and I went to the Museum of Flight 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. It was such a sweet time learning about old planes, walking through one of the old Air Force One planes (that Kennedy, Nixon, and Roosevelt used) and making a plane with straw, tape, and paper. Ty even got to fly a mini Blue Angel plane. It's hard to believe just how quickly kindergarten has gone by. Next Tuesday is Ty's graduation ceremony, which will be tons of fun. Ty keeps telling us how excited he is to move up to 1st grade and be like all the other big kids.:) We are so proud of him! By the way, that is Rachel in the photo's, too cute!
