1st Grade Graduation

I truly could not be happier with the decision we made to send Lilly to Bella Vista. I loved her old school, and it had better ratings, but I just felt really strongly that it was important for her to go to the neighborhood school. I am so glad we made the move. The principal, her teacher and the staff were amazing. And, I can't tell you how much it has helped me to feel "settled", now that we are involved with the school and the community. We have such a cute group of kids in our neighborhood and they have gotten to be the best of friends! I love it, because that's how I remember growing up! Anton and I are so incredibly proud of Lilly and her amazing year at school. Her end of school report card was incredible...my jaw dropped when I saw some of her placements. She is turing out to be a remarkable little girl. She is smart, so kind to everyone, has a darling sense of humor, and is a hard worker. She was heartbroken that school was over, and she said she was mostly going to miss her teacher. Mrs. Wheatley couldn't have been better. I loved volunteering each week in her class, and I think she is such a wonderful teacher. I hope Claire gets her when she goes to 1st grade! It was a great year, and I look forward to next year when both my girls are at the school together!

Here is Lilly with one of her very best friends, Blake. I tried to get them to put their arms around each other, but that was not happening!

Lilly & Mia...two of the cutest little girls!

She was SO sad. Therefore I was sad. We were both emotional messes. Pathetic!!
