bring it on.

School is officially out for summer. This means more family time for us and we are thrilled. Monday marked the last day of school. Quinn and I shared in part of the festivities at mommy's school and caught a piece of Field Day. It was very strange having her with me as I was surrounded by so many of my students over the past few years. "My kids" I had always considered them, and they always will be...but such a strange thing now to go from 138 kids to 1 tiny little one that has taken over my heart more than I ever could have imagined.
It was great to see many of my students, but I was especially glad to be there for my class who have just graduated from 5th grade and are now moving on to middle school. This was my first looping class. I know I was a large part of their lives, as they were in mine. They left such a lasting impression on me as a unique and incredibly special group of children that I can only pray Quinn will find herself surrounded by such friends and classmates when she embarks on her journey through school. Love them all to pieces.
