Last Day of School 2016

Mia finished 3rd grade strong!  She has made us so proud this year.   She has not only excelled academically, but her heart has been shown in all she does.  She is so kind and caring to everyone.  Jack Anderson Elementary has been the perfect fit.
Ansley was an amazing 4th grader.  She too shone academically and grew so much with developing the into a person of character.  Although, she is much more internal than her sister, her heart is just as kind.  She loves deeply.  It was hard to walk through their classrooms today, knowing that we will not be back next year.  What a gift their teachers have given us.  They appreciated our girls for the kids they are, poured into them daily and loved them!  Part of our hearts will always be at Jack Anderson! 








Let's get this party started!

I love this picture.  We had no idea how blessed we would be by getting to know Mrs. Lewis.  She has become such a part of our daily lives.  Ansley loved having her for SEARCH this year, and Mia just plain loves her.  She is my co-worker that will NEVER be replaced.  So happy to have had this year with her!  She will lead well. 


Mrs. Freebern with our girls.  She is the reason our girls grew in third grade.  She showed up this morning with beautiful necklaces for us.  Each was a map of the state of TN or the city of Hendersonville.  So thoughtful.  Part of us will certainly take TN with us when we move.  

Mrs. Freebern and Mia=Success!  

The girls with Emma Freebern.  There were many before and after school play dates with these girls.   We love you sweet Emma! 

Mrs. Meikrantz and Ansley.  4th grade was amazing.  We are sad we won't get to love on baby Knox in August!  

Mia and Izzy!  Pure Love!

Iz, Jack and Mia getting ready for their silly string party!

Such sweet friends!  Mia loved Jack from the minute she met him.

Mrs. Freebern presented Mia with a class gift.  The kids made the state of TN, with their fingerprints.  Mia was overwhelmed and cried!  I'm not sure their was a dry eye in the place.  We are so blessed! 


Mrs. Angel has been part of Mia's class all year.  These two love each other! 



Loving this crazy life!


Ansley ready for summer in her new prescription shades.  Love them!


We finished up our night by cleaning out backpacks and reading the complements for Mia. Each classmate completed a card about something they loved about Mia.  What a blessing.  


Priceless gift!  I know this will have a perfect spot in her new room!

Spring has Sprung




So excited for warmer weather and my flowers blooming!

Splash Kingdom



We are so blessed to belong to a church that teaches truth.  Last Friday the children's choir had their spring performance.  Ansley had a solo part with speaking, Mia was at Camp Highland with S.  What an amazing group of talented kids!

Before School



Breakfast and books on the patio before school!

Year in Review







I love this activity in 4th grade.  All the kids are given a topic they have studied during the year and have to create a T-shirt.  Ansley got Genre.  They all wear them to school and walk the "Red Carpet"  and tell all about their topic.  It has to be student generated. What a great way to review what they have learned!

Sew cute and PROUD





Mia's first sewing project.  Perfect for her piano books!  This girl is learning some skills.
