Summer's over?

Hopefully 4th Grade goes by as fast as this summer has!  I thank God every single day for Mandi.  She has kept Em every summer for 4 years but I am most grateful now as she gets older.  She has MADE this summer for Emerson.  Besides the Great Wolf/ Daddy Daughter trip, VBS, Ceramics Camp and the 4th Grade Boot camp she went to a few weeks ago, Emerson has spent her days with Mandi.  They swam, spent a lot of time at the library, did summer math work sheets, read summer reading books, saw movies (old and new), bowled, made music videos, cooked, went to the mall, ran errands for me, put puzzles together, played games, made movie trailers in iMovie, sang, danced and had an all around good time every single day.

 

School starts on August 6.  One week away and I think we are almost ready. We got our Back to School hair cut, new tennis shoes and Em got a new backpack for her bday. Class lists came out today and Em seems happy with her Homeroom Teacher and her class mates.  She has Lila and Jac in her class and she says this was all she wanted.  Lila her bestie and Jac her first and oldest friend are together again this year.

Jac and Emerson started in the baby room at Jefferson Baptist Mother's Day out and have been together ever since.  Pretty special friends right there!
