Last Day of School...

Today is the last day of school for both kiddos. Hard to believe we have an almost 3rd grader and an almost 1st grader!

I love this time of year... pulling out those first days of school pictures and comparing it to the pictures I took this morning. I can hardly recognize my sweet little girl. She has grown and changed so much this year... not in just physical differences glasses, teeth, height and longer hair but she has confidence, she has grace, she has her own opinions on things, she is becoming her own little self... so very proud. She's really excited about 3rd grade. As we got ready this morning she said, "School just keeps getting better and better each year!" She got a really good teacher for next year and I'm excited for her, it will be cursive writing and multiplication tables!

Little Bug has grown too... in height! I can't believe the difference in his two pictures as well. He's lost that "babyness" in his face but still has his cute dimple smile and mesmerizing blue eyes. I can't even imagine how his little face is going to change when teeth start becoming loose and falling out. No loose teeth yet! I still have a hard time believing that he's reading... actually reading books all by himself and that he finds it exciting and enjoyable. Math comes really easy for him and I know 1st grade is going to be just wonderful for him. Recess, eating lunch at school, his very own desk... lots of new exciting times lay ahead in the fall. He will find out who his teacher is today!

Am glad to have had the opportunity to help out in their classrooms this year and to be home with them for so long. With Bug being all day next year I think I'll look around for eeks... a real job! Am going to really enjoy this summer with them home. (ask me in 2 weeks and I may be counting down the days till school) We have a few fun trips planned but mostly will be just home enjoying the summer (if it ever turns into summer weather).

One more first and last day of school pictures with both of them together (Ainsley started a few days before Walker... which is why she has different clothes on then her other first day picture.)
