Right before we left the house, the SUN poked through the clouds! God is so good to bless us today with the sun's presence. In fact, Cerys said on the way to school, "Thank you Jesus for making the sun come out!"
Here she is, in her uniform (green, white and grey)
Do you think I took enough pictures?
And here we go! Look, no rain!!! Cerys sang all the way to school- "Our God is a Great Big God" and "God Said It, I Believe It". She then said, "What a happy day for us!" Ha. I was thinking of those songs on the way home and God gently reminded me of the verse I came across this morning was Isaiah 40:11- "He tends his flock like a shepherd, He gathers lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young."
It took us about 13 minutes to walk to the school, something that we will have to get use to that's for sure! I was ready for a snack by the time I got home! Ha. There is some parking in the back of the school, but it's mainly residential so I'm not sure if we will be able to drive.
And here is her school!
One of the Nursery Nurses (teacher assistant) met us at the door and showed Cerys her hook for her coat and backpack then we said goodbye! She was shy, but not crying which was really good! We hugged and kissed her and told her we would be back in 2.5 hours and then the Nursery Nurse took her by the hand and took her into the classroom.
Then the three of us walked out of the gates and I bawled my eyes out. I had to say goodbye to Marc at the bus stop since he was going into town for meetings, but he is going to meet us at the school in a little while to pick her up.
There are just so many differences, being in another country obviously, some things good, some things I find a little frustrating. We didn't even see the teacher, nor do we know how many children in her class. There are many things I plan to find out over the course of this week though!
I'll be back later today with a re-cap of her first day! Thank you for praying for the weather for us, we were blessed!!!

I am so happy God poked the sunshine out for you! We prayed for you this morning.
Cerys looks so adorable in her uniform!!!! I hope she had a good day. Can't wait to hear about it.
PTL on NO RAIN!!!
What a sweet day for you guys. She looks so big in her uniform.
What a beautiful scripture! I needed to hear it as well. I will pray it for you as you deal with all the unknowns of preschool. I'm so glad you had a shiny morning, and I love all the pics!
The colors of the uniforms look so european. I'm sure there are some in the US that look that way as well, but at first glance that is what I thought.
She is growing up fast, before you know it Bales will be joining her!
The Lord is so faithful. Our pastor tells us how much he misses walking his girls to school each day. He has to drive them and school starts so early each day. He says that was such an adjustment for all of them.
Oh I'm so glad the sun came out, I prayed that it would. Those are great pictures, she is such a big girl. They made me tear up.
Praise God for the sun shine!!!
