They grew so much this year without me even realizing! Whew, what a year! Now they are going into 1st grade, 3rd grade, and 6th grade!
In lieu of an awards ceremony and graduations (Kinder and 5th), their school did a promotion parade! It would have been a big year with two kiddos having graduation ceremonies, parties, field days, awards ceremonies, etc. And although I am sad to have missed those milestones, I am grateful for so many other things. Like our health, time together, a stable job for Lex, and a small community that truly made the best of a bad situation. We love this life!
The parade started at 6:30, we got in line about 6:10, and it was already wrapping through town. We made it through the line close to 7 ish. The kids loved seeing their teachers cheer them on as we drove by and Ms. Betty passed out cupcakes at the end of the line for all the kiddos. We got home and opened up all their awards and it was so fun for them to be recognized for all their work. Katelyn was working towards being the top girl runner (she and Mariella were hoping to tie) for the Mile Club, so that was a tad disappointing to not be able to finish. Otherwise, they both racked in the awards!
We are so proud of our Kindergarten Grad too! He is now a big FIRST grader!
All A's, UIL medal for spelling team 1st place, mileage club (53 miles), etc.
All A's, NEHS, Perfect Attendance, Bluebonnet Award, AR award, Mile Club (65 miles), etc.
Hey Mrs. Koether & Mrs. George
And as a fun surprise when they got home, I made them a Candy Gram to celebrate our grads! They loved them!
And one more picture to remember how much they grow during Elementary. First day of Kinder to Last day of 5th grade! These years really flew by! I remember her first day of Kinder like it was yesterday! We are so proud of you, sweet girl! On to Junior High, you are going to do so well, we have no doubt!
