The time has come and I have to say that it's bittersweet. Our last little baby has graduated kindergarten. Her teacher, Miss Ritter wrote a poem for the class.
Oh, the Places You'll Go!
adapted from Dr. Suess
Congratulations!
Today is your day!
You're off to great places, you're off and away!
You have brains in your head,
You have feet in your shoes,
Now you're off to first grade.
That's such great news!
Small groups, fun songs, and early releases,
Sorry to say, but those all go to pieces.
But look up ahead- you're such a bright crew.
Big playground and lunches are waiting for you.
First grade is hard work, not all games and fun,
But I know you're ready for that big number 1!
So goodbye Miss Ritter and Mrs. Nielsen, too!
Oh the places you'll go are just waiting for you!
Don't forget to come see me,
come back for the hugs,
Because this kindergarten class
I hold with such love!

The girls and I got the awesome chance to go see Taylor Swift in concert. Samantha and Emily are big fans! It was 3 1/2 hours of lots of loud music and screaming teenagers. We had fun dancing and singing along. Unfortuanately, Emily fell asleep the last 45 minutes of the concert. Who falls asleep at a concert?! But the best part of the night was when Samantha got a big hug from Taylor Swift herself! So sad to say that it happened so fast, that we weren't prepared to take a picture of it.
