Kindergarten has ended...

Well, the Kindergarten adventure is ending today for Nadine. She is a little sad, but not as sad as her momma! She will be moving onto first grade in the fall.  I can't believe how much she has changed in the past months.  She's a reader now! She loves to read. She reads all the time! And she reads chapter books! I'm so excited that she has the same passion as her sister.  While reading you can go anywhere in you want to, you can learn anything you want and you can see what it means to dream big!

I'm very thankful for her teacher this year. She has been fantastic! I'm excited about next years adventure in Bible Quizzing, since first grade is the year she can begin that.

For Memorial Day we had friends and family over.  It rained all day but we did get a couple of games of cornhole in and the kids didn't mind the sprinkles too much! I didn't take many pictures of the day.  It was fun.  This Memorial Day was a little bittersweet.  Well, really all of them are. This year Memorial Day fell on what would have been my father-in-law Jack's birthday.  When he was with us, Memorial Day weekend was always a huge thing.  He was a Navy veteran and very proud of his country and our military.  But it was also a celebration of his birthday.  I believe this is the first year since his death that Memorial day has fallen on his birthday! He is truly missed!
