Oh MY, how I was flooded with so many emotions! So sad to see her growing up, becoming very independent, ready to broaden her horizons, and so eager to learn. But, in another perspective, I was very happy that she was going to have a Great teacher that she already knew, LOVED, and most importantly that her daddy and I trusted to care for our child. Not to mention, that she was going to be in a classroom full of precious kiddos that we go to church with and love so much.
And now, as of May 28, 2010, we officially have a Kindergarten graduate! Wow, it seems like this year has flown by!
She has had many wonderful experiences this year, and I was always so eager to meet her in the afternoon and hear about her day. She loves learning and loves to spell out every word she comes in contact with. Maybe, this is one reason she got this..."Best Girl Spelling Award!"
We are so proud of her many milestones and accomplishments this year! As I set here this morning reflecting back on this past school year, I can't help but have tears flow down my face as I think how proud she would be to come home with 100% on her spelling tests! I would hug her tight and tell her how proud I was of her and remind her that she worked real hard studying those words to get that 100%. Oh, how that sweet smile and sense of accomplishment would make my heart feel so warm and fuzzy! I just feel so blessed to be this little girl's mommy!
Thanks so much to this sweet Lady for making Hallie's 1st year a GREAT experience! Mrs. Lesley, Hallie already misses you and loves you so much! Everytime I tell her that I love her to the moon and back she reminds me that you tell her that sometimes too! And, I don't have a picture of Hallie with Mrs. Lisa, but we are very thankful for her too!
And, some photos of some very special little people!

Me and My "2" Blessings! Even though Daddy couldn't attend because he had graduation at his school at the same time, he gave Hallie a call to her classroom before graduation started. He was very sad that he couldn't be there, but was reminded by several teachers and staff at his school that one day he will be able to call her name as she walks across the 8th grade stage and be so proud. That reminder brightened his day and then we topped off our afternoon with icecream and a fun night.
Well, it is now off to 1st Grade! Hallie is so excited that many of the same, sweet kiddos that she experienced Kindergarten with will still be by her side in 1st grade! We are hoping that the Summer slooooowly passes and are excited about lots of fun playdates with wonderful friends! We will see you soon Mrs. Monica! And, Mrs. Lesley you just hang around in 3rd grade until we get there!

Such a sweet post. I am almost tearing up from emotion about sending Brooks to school and him graduating. Sniff Sniff.
Glad she had a wonderful class with wonderful teachers and friends. I love their monogrammed dresses. Both are too cute for words.
Let us know if you are interested in a play date soon. We'd love to have you all over anytime. Girls can even come swimming. Just call me.
We should all plan a play date!
I love the pictures and the sweet dreses! I can't believe it will be first grade already. Time passes so fast!
I can't believe our babies are growing up so fast either! It breaks my heart! Colby will be in Mrs. Monica's class next year also.
Ok it makes me sad to see how much she's grown from the first day of school! Yeah for her spelling award:) I'm glad her and Macy get to go to school together:)
This made me want to cry all over again! We had the best year, the best class! I have so many wonderful memories and it couldn't have been a better group for me to leave kindergarten with! Hallie was a sweetheart to have in class - just the kind of student that teachers like to have! And yes - I'd be thrilled to have any of these kids as third graders!
Congratulations Hallie!!
Congratulations Hallie!! I'm glad she had a great Kindergarten year and I'm sure 1st grade will be good too. It helps to have some friends in the class and I know Mrs. Monica well and I know she's looking forward to her new class.
Congratulations to Hallie!! I hope you have a great summer with your sweet girls! :)
Congratulations Hallie! I know Olivia really enjoyed being in class with Hallie. I'm sure they will have as much fun next year, too. It makes me sad, too. They are growing up so fast.
So sweet!! I truly believe that Kindergarten sets an early stage for a child's like or dislike of school. That year has to be special so they will have the desire to keep going to learn so many new things. I can only imagine that Leslie was the perfect teacher to set that stage for Hallie and all the other sweet kids I've seen pictures of.
Hope your summer does go by slowly!!
I'm so glad our kiddos get to grow up together! Evan loves Hallie and loved Kindergarten too! I'm certain first grade will be just as much fun!
Sweet pictures! I can't believe Hallie will be in 1st grade!!
What sweet pictures!! Your girls are so beautiful!
