End of School

The end of the school year has come. This is a school year that will NEVER be forgotten. The year that school got out in March! Coronavirus pandemic! We homeschooled the best we could. We had good days, bad days. We were trying to follow all the safety rules, while still trying to let kids be kids. It has been a balancing act. As the month draws to an end, school is over...things are slowly getting back to normal. Bike rides and outdoor playtime with friends fill our days! And Lou!!! Lots of time with Lou. She is growing like a weed and so fun!

 Mothers Day!!! I have earned this mothers day! ha! Weeks and weeks of nonstop time with the kids. What a gift to have this time with my kids. What precious memories. Simple days. But, momma needed a break! And I got it! The husbands got us a night at Hotel ZaZa! It was heavenly. We spent the day by the pool, walked to dinner and slept in!! I adore these friends. And we have made this a new annual tradition!

 The school year wrapped up with Faith Ann's graduation. Kindergarten graduation parade. We loaded Scott's truck with signs and banners. Faith Ann thought this was so fun. Beau, Kate and cousins filled Scott's truck....all for Faith Ann! We drove by the school. Mrs. Rincon gave her the cap and gown. We took a picture, and that was it! But, what a special night. Surrounded by love, celebration and family

More time with cousin Ally!!! We love our time with her. Snowcone runs, bike rides and more!!! I am also teaching kid fitness sessions at my house this summer. Just a couple weeks. My kids are the "helpers." They take their job very seriously! I love it!!!! Some of their friends take the classes, and it is so neat to watch them learn and grow together. Faith Ann is getting some seriously strong shoulders these days! Hard work paying off!

 Hunter also had an end of the year parade to say goodbye to his teachers. This was an odd year! A year of change, learning, history and uncertainaty! But, it was a year to remember. A year to grow from. A year that we will hold onto in our hearts and memory forever. Goodbye to the school year that changed my kids lives, my life, our life! Let's see what the months ahead bring.
