Mother's Day 2014

Started off a-ma-zing with a special Mother's Day salute in our classroom on Friday afternoon. All the moms came in and we did a bunch of awesome stuff with them. Here's a little selfie action.

Then on Mother's Day it was actually also Paxton's birthday, which was kind of cool because they got to share the day. He woke up early and made Mom a Mother's Day card.

Later in the afternoon I went outside in front and made mom a couple chalk drawings on the sidewalk.

And then later we went down to the lakefront and ran around a little bit. We stopped by one of our favorite old stomping grounds - Buckingham Fountain - and took in a long walk and an overall awesome evening to wrap up Mother's Day.

Here's a shot of all of us and Dad, which is a bit strange seeing that it was Mother's Day, but Mom wanted a shot of her gang so here it is.

First Day of School

So I graduated from Lovebugs last year and now I'm heading to St. Helen's, and this past week was my first day of school.

Mae even got dressed up for my first day.

And then I took the car keys, waved goodbye and headed out to drive myself to school.

Or maybe not. One last family photo on the front porch.

I was proud of mom and dad - no tears shed, just a smile on the front steps from mom and we headed into my classroom.
