New Grad

This little girl makes us so proud.  She had a great year of kindergarten and learned so much.  She is reading well above grade level and does well in math, too.  Mrs. Steiner, her teacher, knew how to make learning fun for the kids and made each child feel important.  Here they are on "graduation day" - a day when many parents (definitely me) had tears in their eyes.

ARM chose to wear this white dress, which was also her Easter dress, and a headband she picked out at a craft show we attended together.  We had fun taking pictures with her friends and going for ice cream at Annie's Frozen Custard with her pal Sydney afterwards.

Sydney surprised everyone right at the very end of school by chopping off her hair and donating it - so she looked completely different to everyone with out her long thick hair!

A funny story from the custard stand: the people at Annie's thought it would be fun to kick off summer by putting some fun toys on their patio for kids.  Not just any toys...water toys.  It was a beautiful day and there were definitely other guests enjoying ice cream there.  After EMM finished his treat, he grabbed a water gun and shot it straight into the air, raining down drops all over a man and his high school age daughter.  They did NOT look happy.  After a quick apology, we packed it up and headed home...but definitely a funny memory!
