Hello Summer

Hello Summer.

With just a touch of fanfare, we celebrated Grace's last day of kindergarten.

It's hard to believe kindergarten is now behind us. 

The sweet little girl below started kindergarten with a quiet bravery. 

Where Grace bravely entered kindergarten, with no tears, confidently going to a new school, confidently meeting new friends, I struggled. This was a big step for me in letting her go.  But, I watched her confidence and her quiet bravery and I learned from her.

This past year, Grace learned to read and write.  She learned how to do a push up and run a mile!  She learned how to navigate life (if only in a small part) without me. 

And, I learned to sit back and proudly watch her shine.
