School's Out for the SUMMER!!!!

And  I'm not sure who's more excited C or me :)

Friday was his last day.  A few of the mothers from his class prepared a sweet slideshow of pictures for the year.  It was bitter-sweet to see how much these little guys have grown over the last 9 months.

Each child was given a Clifford (the class mascot) Award:

C received the "Class Theologian" award

C's teacher has been telling me all year how C is a great leader in discussion during their devotion time. :)  And I couldn't be prouder!

A quick picture with C's Teacher and Assistant Teacher.  I am so thankful for both of these godly ladies.  C and I were both blessed by their gracious, sweet spirits and God-given ability to teach!

G is anxiously awaiting the day she too can be a kindergartner (me...not so much :)

J took us all out for cheeseburgers (C's cuisine of choice) to celebrate!

I want to really take advantage of having C home again so I've set forth a few "goals" for our time this summer:

#1 - Have FUN and make sweet memories because before I know it, it will be August and C and G (starting 4K) will be starting school.  I don't want to fritter away our time.

#2 - Serve others as a family.  C and G both really enjoy helping...I want to provide opportunities to exercise that gift :)

#3 - Practice the skills C learned over the year...specifically reading and writing.  I don't plan to be really structured about this.  I just want to make sure we don't go the summer without picking up the first pencil.

Let the good times roll! :)
