That's a wrap!

Today officially marks the end of the school year. 

We now have a first grader! 

How in the world did that happen so fast? 

I think the picture on the left tells a thousand emotions, just look at her nervous hands, her sweet innocent and apprehensive smile. 

As I wrote one last thank you message to her lovely teacher this afternoon, I teared up thinking how much I am going to miss kindergarten. You know, where everything is all lovely and cozy and wonderful. 

Today when Regan and I snuggled up and talked about her last day I asked her how she was feeling. Her response: "sad". I prompted her to continue and she said just what I was feeling: "I'm sad because I will miss  my teacher". 

She came home to this gigantic sign plastered against the garage door....yes, I got a little carried away with end of the year fun. 

 It was a wonderful June afternoon and to celebrate a few extra hours together, I took the kiddos into the pool... and watched Regan tip over countless times on this piranha.
Later she looked at the box, and said "hey mom, it says 'no-tip', but it should say 'it will tip'!! 

I love that this little girl can read now. Love love love it! 

 And she's pretty excited about all that she has learned too. Welcome to summer sweetie, you've earned it!
