CHAPTER

I didn't think I would get choked up, but I did.  And so did Mike.  Friday was our last day of daycare.  We were at the same daycare for just under 13 years!  That is a long time.  I can still remember being pregnant with Jack and deciding on where to send him once I went back to work.

The owners of the daycare were very hands on and ran a tight ship.  Some of the same teachers are there today that were there when Jack was a baby.  That speaks volumes.  The teachers were always kind and caring.  My kids crafted, played, used their imagination constantly.  There were no TV's, computers or video games but rather a great playground with several large jungle gyms.

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to thank the owner for everything they've done for Jack, Matthew and Kate but especially for me and Mike.  It is not easy being full time working parents but they most certainly helped to make it easier.

So there is it.  A chapter in our lives.  We left without much fanfare.  A few pictures of Kate on the jungle gym, a couple of pictures outfront and we were off.
