Welcome to Summer

Today was Avery's last day of school. She is now a 2nd grader! Where does the time go? Check her out on the 1st day of school:

Here she is leaving for school this morning.


Almost every morning before school, the cutest little exchange takes place between a brother and a sister. Avery heads off to the bus stop and gets to the neighbor's driveway. Sterling calls out, "I want to give you a hug and kiss Avery!" He runs after her while she stops and waits for him to come give her a hug and a kiss. Here is their exchange this morning.


Sterling and I made this banner today. I saw this on another blog, but now I'm having trouble finding the link. Oh well. It might have also been in Family Fun magazine.


And, here comes Avery home from school. She was very excited to see her banner. I also had a special book waiting for her (more on that later). WELCOME TO SUMMER!
