Preschool Graduates

This week the kids had their preschool graduation. They both attended a free day school, hosted by a local church, where 3-5 year olds meet for classes one morning a week. This was Leah's first year and Noah's second attending the school.


The program was full of sweet songs and many laughs. Both kids got to wear a hat, get a diploma, Bible, and balloon (although I think their favorite part of the evening was the cookies and punch table!).

Lastly, here is a video of "Oh Be Careful Little Eyes..." posted especially for the grandparents. Excuse Justin and I laughing midway through, Noah was making quite the funny faces at the child next to him ;-)



I cannot recommend this school enough! If anyone wants more info, shoot me an email!

P.S. Noah also finished all of his kindergarten curriculum last week and had a great year! He's already asking to start his new first grade material, which I kindly refused!

Well Hello May! Let the Countdown Begin!

Spring is finally here and the Rolstons are excited about more than just the warm weather and green grass! Baby #3's due date month has arrived at last and we couldn't be happier!

A quick update: It has been a rough couple months filled with dozens of doctor's appointments  hormone shots, weekly nurse visits, four trips to labor & delivery, and lots of doctor ordered house rest. But we are just days away from being considered "full term" and Baby #3 is healthy and still cooking! Our prayer is to make it through my doctor's appointment this week, when I will be released from all activity restriction (finally!). But to be honest, I would love to make it another week after that (I am just dying to give my house a good cleaning, take the kids to the park, and run several errands). It has been a couple months since I have been able to live life as "normal".

We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since the day we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you for the saints ~ Col 1:3-4

Special thanks to all of our family and friends who have helped out over the past two months, with sweet acts of service, but most importantly prayer! We have been completely humbled and amazed by the Lord's awesome provision for our home by the sweet service of you! Extra special thanks go out to Aunt Laura, who has rushed to babysit during several trips to the hospital... the Hankinson Family who have weekly playdates with the kids and who lift my spirits each week with their sweet and loving hearts for the Lord. And I cannot go without thanking my awesome Justin, who has pretty much taken over all housework, cooking, and errands without complaint!

Here are some photos taken from when I officially turned 8 months pregnant (I huge goal and answer to prayer for this baby). Let the countdown begin!



Kisses for Baby!

Just like Mama...
