I went and read to Noah's class yesterday and snapped a quick end-of-year pic with her before she left.
We will surely miss her over the next month. It was sad to say goodbye. I actually blew her a kiss at pick-up today - that is how fond of her I am. In my heart, I feel like the school year just ended with her departure and there's just seat time left to endure til the end of May. What a great year of first grade Noah has had though! So thankful for that, for his teacher, for his classmates!
Anyway, bring on SAT-10, another field trip, the math bee, field day, fundraiser reward party, the talent show, and many, many other end-of-schoolyear traditions. We are ready for summer and only a little nervous about going solo on the school scene in the fall. :}
PS - Today was kindergarten registration - The very same kindergarten registration that I always planned on being Anna's...until the cutoff date was bumped up a month that knocked her out of the age group. I have had time to make my peace with her now being 3 years behind Noah in school instead of the original 2, but it was still bittersweet to see it get marked down officially in the schoolbooks today ... and to watch a BIG chunk of her buddies and friends going on without her. :( So weird!

wow! Our year is just about up too. Can't believe it!! I am one of those registering a kindergartener next week. : / I will be missing her crazy personality. I know why God gave THAT girl to us....because he wanted to bless us with MUCH laughter in our home - she is one funny kid. She'll be missed next fall for sure. (not that I won't enjoy a little bit of independence at the same time, but still,) She's really come around this last year at home being the biggest sister around and learning how to communicate correctly - for the most part :) Look at me, getting all nostalgic, and it's like 4 months away...geez
Yes, exactly! Even NATALIE is going off to kindergarten! Ugh. Tell her not to forget Anna, ok?
