One year ago today our oldest graduated from the eighth grade. She was sad to leave behind the clasmates she had known for the previous nine years. They were a small group of kids. She was nervous about what the new school year and new school without that group of classmates would be like.
Today, she is a sad girl again. . .only because she is ending her freshman year at the big high school and she feels like time got away from her.
She as a good group of friends.
She has adjusted to the rigors of honors academics.
She has found her way.
In the meantime, the younger two have grown tremendously too. Middle E will be in seventh grade. She has gotten so tall. She's becoming an athlete. . .and continues as a musician. There's a part of me that hardly understands how she got so grown up all at once. And then there is Baby Girl. Oh my how she has grown. She started third grade, struggling with reading. . .not quite understanding why we love it so much. And then suddenly it clicked and she progressed more than anyone else in her class this year. Fourth grade for my Baby Girl next year. No longer an elementary student but an "intermediate" grader.
And so it goes. Another school year ends.
It's summertime!
