End of the School Year

Samantha came home today with a Soaring Eagle award she earned at school. If I would have known I probably would have gone to see her receive the award. Somehow Braxton's teacher told the class that they weren't participating in it. What....Ever. Anyway, Braxton was bragging to me when they got home that she got the award and was so excited for her.

It's really hard for me to believe that Thursday is her last day of Kindergarten. I can't believe that the school year has come to an end. It seems like only yesterday she was starting pre-school and here she is now finishing Kindergarten and will now prepare to enter the First Grade in August. How will I survive without her help at home? How can I let her go all day? My heart aches to know that they must grow up.


Braxton will be finishing up Second Grade on Friday. Once again I am shocked to see how old he is getting. Since the week he turned three he has been going to school. So, it shouldn't come as quite as a shock to me how big he is getting. I should be used to it. I remember being in the third grade. My teacher was Ms. Budge. I loved her. I vividly remember experiences that happened in school then. That is what makes it hard. Knowing that I can still remember back to when I was his age being in school and here he is ending his Second Grade year and preparing to start Third Grade in August. As I am sitting here remembering back to my days in elementary school I hope that they will have wonderful experiences as they make there way through school. I know there will be both good and bad days. I just want to be there for them when they go through all those experiences.

Braxton and Samantha I am so proud of you and so blessed to be your Mother. I love you so very much.
