Schools out!

Today was the last day of school.  It is a day full of emotions for everyone.  We have had such amazing teachers this year.

We got the best kindergarten teacher anyone could ask for, Mrs. Adams.  She helped Benjamin learn so many new things, gave him confidence that I couldn't and encouraged him to learn and ask questions about everything.  Mrs. Adams is full of love, compassion, energy and creativity; the perfect mix for any teacher. I hope Hannah gets her when it is her time for Kindergarten.

Rachel also got one of the best teachers ever and made another best friend, Elizabeth Gardner.  Ms. Katie Midgley has had some life trials the past 2 years and unfortunately will not be teaching next year. I am so so sad about hearing this, I am literally crying. I hope she is back when Benjamin enters 2nd grade because we just liked her that much!  We also learned through the course of the year that she and I were in the same singles ward while we were going to school.  It was so great to reconnect with her and hope that things will turn around for her - she certainly deserves it.  Ms. Midgley has been such a help to our Rachel-roo this year.  We finally learned some things about Rachel and got some help for her and us.  Mis Midgley was so amazing in supporting us and doing everything she could at school to help Rachel too.

It feels good to be done with school for a while and get ready for a new adventure (1st & 3rd grade with new teachers) but it is also sad.  Farewell to our amazing teachers!!  We sure love you and appreciate all you have done for our children.
