Summer begins!

So much has been going on in our busy lives and I haven't had much time to get on here to tell about any of it.  Last week was Bryden's last week of kindergarten and although he was ecstatic about the event, I couldn't help feel a little teary.  I keep wondering where the year went and feel like I had to of missed something because it flew by so quickly.  I dropped him off for his last day of school and as he ran to the school doors I had an overwhelming feeling of sadness wash over me.  We had looked forward to this year so much and I couldn't believe it was already time to see it end.  We will miss his teacher, Mrs. Lacey, who was the best kindergarten teacher we could have asked for.  I think saying goodbye to his teacher was harder for Bryden than he thought.  Most kids are able to see their past teachers in the hallways when they enter the next grade level, but for Bryden it will be different.  When he left school that day it was not only his last day as a kindergartener, it was also the last time he would be in a Celina school.  It is a little bittersweet for me.  I grew up there and attended Celina ISD from kindergarten-12th grade.  Ever since I was pregnant I envisioned having my own "Bobcats" in the house and wearing orange every Friday.  We have lived in Prosper for almost a year now and I had started out the year thinking that we would let the kids attend Celina schools, but as the year progressed I had decided that it was the wrong decision and that we were going to embrace Prosper fully and that Bryden would enter first grade as a Prosper Eagle.  As some of my fellow Bobcats know, this was tough to swallow realizing that my Friday nights will soon involve a sea of green and white, but I think I will always have orange in my blood!  (by the way Alex, I can see you reading this and wanting to gag, but that's how it is so deal with it!!).  Bryden seems a little bummed with the fact that he will not go to Celina schools, but he also seems ready to meet new friends and is excited that he can ride the bus (which is NOT happening anytime soon)!
