Last Day of School

I can't believe how long it has been since I blogged about anything at all.
A couple of weeks ago we went on an awesome sailing trip, sailed up the inter coastal waterway off the coast of Savannah and went to an island in St. Catherine's Sound.  We slept on the boat at night and explored the island during the day.  We saw a sea turtle, tons of dolphins, horseshoe crabs and jellyfish.  It was a blast and a great family experience!

Today was the kid's last day of school.  James Stephen is now an 8th grader.  LeAnne will move up to middle school as a 6th grader.  So hard to believe my "baby" is now a middle school kid.  It was hard for me today as I left her elementary school realizing that I probably won't ever be back.  JS started there in PreK so I have been at that school quite a bit in the last nine years!  She had a 5th Grade Honor's Program at school today and got three awards.  One for having all "As" all year, one was a Certificate of Achievement from Duke University TIP program (Talent Identification Program) and the "big" one was the President's Education Award for Education Excellence for Outstanding Academic Excellence, signed by President Obama and the U.S. Secretary of Education.  You go girl!  So proud of both of my kids.  They are growing up fast though.  I have loved every second of being a mother.
