End of School Time!

So, I am an emotional person, thank you Lord! But adding the pregnancy hormones, wow, it was no surprise that I cried after 10 minutes of the Second Grade Awards/Graduation. Madison didn't know that I was coming (wasn't for sure I could work things out at work to attend), so that made for an even more emotional moment when she did spot me =)

It's hard to believe that she will be in third grade next year. How quickly she is growing up. I was able to snap a few pictures during the convocation. And yes, mom lost it when the kids walked out with their awards and walked back in to do their songs as they had the kids walking in to the graduation march music. WHEW! That was a hard moment to get through with the ability to still smile big and snap a good picture =)

The Second Grade Class--marching back into the gym for their final time
**We've joined together as classmates, as the second grade year ends...
A year full of learning while we became friends.
We shared and were kind as we worked and played,
And our friendship has grown with each passing day.



**My little hand has grown throughout my second grade year,
Please give me 5 and celebrate this graduation year!
Hold my hand throughout scary times or worries I may face.
Third grade is coming up so soon, I need your hand for guidance through the new place. With joys, and laughs, fun times and some sad, always remember my little hand!
