Friday morning Abigail woke up, jumped out of bed and said, "oh yeah, today is my graduation!"
We all (Aunt Annie too) got ready and headed off to the school bright and early to watch the kindergarten program and graduation.
It was a cute program. They sang, What a Wonderful World, and you couldn't help but tear up. Especially when Abigail said I love you and pointed right over to us.
Our girl is growing up so fast. The year just flew by. I am afraid summer will be over in a blink and then we'll have a 1st grader.
After the graduation they had an ice cream social and then it was time to pick up her things from Mrs Hartzmann. Her teacher put together some really cute keepsakes. One book goes month by month, adding what they might have worked on and a class picture that was taken. (this made me feel better about throwing away all her other papers.) She also put together a binder of all the writing Abigail did during the year. It's fun to see how far she's come in her writing, from one to two words to complete sentences and then multiple sentences.
We're looking forward to our summer and all we have planned. The girls are kicking it off right and sleeping in.
Happy Summer Vacation!
Wow, she's just growing up too fast. What a proud mommy you must be!

I hear you, this was definitely a milestone and my heart beats so much faster at just the thought of 1st grade! June is essentially planned out and July will be filled with as much fun as we can possibly fit in, then Hawkin will start AUG 12TH!

Awe!!! I can't believe our little girls are (almost...:D) first graders! Weren't we just talking to each other from our hospital beds holding our sweet newborns?!
They sure have come a long way this year haven't they?! It's amazing how much they learn. She looks SO proud to be a kindergarten graduate :) Enjoy the summer and just think, yours won't go by as fast as mine will!! :)
