Last Day of School!

This is the obligatory end of the school year post. :)  I have very vivid memories of my mom taking pictures of us every single year on the first & last days of school, so of course I have to carry on that tradition. ;)  Shelby was SO sad about today being her last day! She brought home her class picture today, and she immediately told me that we needed to hang it on her gallery wall in her bedroom so she can remember all of her friends this summer. :)

Last Day!

And for comparison's sake, here are the shots from the first day of school back in September. You'll notice Hadley was right by Shelby's side this morning posing for last day of school pictures, and when I looked back at the first day of school pictures I couldn't figure out where Hadley was. And then it suddenly dawned me--oh yeah, she wasn't even walking yet!!! No wonder she wasn't standing next to Shelby for pictures! ;)  I don't feel like Shelby looks all that different from the first day to the last day, but the difference in Hadley from September to May is CRAZY!

Last day of school vs. First day of school!

And here was how Hadley spent the last day of school with Mommy!

Clearly, she was excited about heading to the post office with Mommy! ;)

Earlier this week, Shelby's school had a little end of the year celebration with a slideshow & songs. Each of the kids in Shelby's class also got to share their favorite part of Marvelously Made. A lot of the kids got nervous and didn't end up sharing, but Shelby did awesome! It's kind of hard to hear her in the video b/c there was a lot of background noise & b/c she was talking super fast, but she says her favorite thing at MM is painting. :)

Words cannot adequately describe how much we adore Shelby's school. We are so thankful for the past year Shelby has had at Marvelously Made! She is eagerly awaiting two weeks of summer camp, Marvelously Made style! She gets to attend a week-long camp (9:00-1:30) at the end of June and another week at the end of July! But for now, we are ready to kick off summer!!!! Tomorrow is the start of a four-day weekend for Derek (!!!!!) and then not much longer until the girls and I are Georgia-bound! Summer, here we come!
