School is out! We made it to the end of second grade! This is the first year that Leah has expressed sadness about the arrival of summer. She has really loved her time with Mrs. Eischeid- her teacher/best friend at school. She came bounding down the stairs past bedtime the night before the last day of school with a worried look on her face, insisting that she needed to write Mrs. Eischeid one more thank you note to give her in the morning. Her summer bucket list is full of fun ideas and activities and a reminder note to herself at the bottom- "You
have to miss Mrs. Eischeid".
She has come home brimming with excitement over new facts all year long- siberian tigers and multiplication facts and life cycles and weather systems, had a sweet group of friends to spend her year with, and plenty of projects and papers to show for her year of hard work. She was thrilled to bring her violin in for her last show and share and play her recital piece for her classmates.
Her teacher had an exceptionally brilliant plan for the last 26 days of school- an ABC countdown to the last day. She wanted to wear BYU colors on Team colors day, so Jason whipped up this logo shirt for her. He is definitely the artistic parent!
And now we're on to summer! This is the longest summer break we will enjoy while we live in Iowa- the state has pushed the fall starting date for school back a few weeks, which means that we have nearly three full months of summer fun ahead of us.

love the BYU shirt! I don't think my boys ever felt sad about school ending. Although Akos said today that he will miss his friends.
I remember i didn't like summer... i didn't have any friends to play with really and i was bored a lot. :)
