Last Day

The girls wrapped up their school year on Friday. Lily finished 8th grade with a ceremony at her school. She was asked by the 8th grade teachers to read the invocation for the ceremony. We were so proud of her and her poise while sharing the invocation message. Lily also received several awards and she also was responsible for creating the program for the promotion ceremony. So impressed with all of her  accomplishments this year.

Peace Out, Middle School!

Shelly also attended the ceremony for Lily so we stopped by her school to see her teacher on the last day. Shelly's awards ceremony was earlier in the week and we were really pleased with all of that she had achieved throughout the year. She is such a hard working student who is happy and kind. Shelly makes us all smile.

Last Day of School

On Friday the girls had a half day of school. I picked them both up a little early and made sure to get an end of the year photo of them. 

Hard for me to imagine that I now have a 4th grader and an 8th grader! Amazing!!!

Memorial Day Weekend---Summer Begins

The girls last day of school was Friday! They were both a little sad to leave their teachers. But, we started things off with a fun pool party at a neighbor's house.

Then it was back home to greet my sister and niece who were coming for the weekend!!! So excited to see them. We shared our "favorite things". Each of us came up with a favorite thing and bought one for the other girls. It was so fun to see what we all got and it was all different---nail polish, body poof, ring holder, notebook, pen, air freshener, cup, and lip gloss.
