Day 157: Graduation Girl
June 6
Lexi has been blessed with an amazing teacher for her last two years of elementary school. We're sad to say goodbye to Ms. Reneé, but hopeful that Ellie will be able to be in her class in a few years. And now Lexi is excited to be moving on to middle school.

Day 151: Fun Run!
May 31
Lexi and her friends, getting ready to take off on the school's annual fun run.
Day 149: Crosswalk, Jr.
May 29
Lexi has been begging to help me with crosswalk duty for a while now, so when we got to school and the good corner was free I decided to let her try her hand at it. She did a great job, and it definitely makes the job easier to have two people at the same intersection.Thursday, May 30, 2013
Day 144: Zoo Field Trip
May 24
Lexi and classmates enjoying the mountain goat statue at the zoo entrance.
Day 141: Steppin' Out With My Baby
May 21
Vicki's choir sang at the high school choir concert tonight (her middle school choir is not an official school class, but rather an after-school program taught by the high school choir director). They did two numbers, the favorite by far being this one, for which they all got to wear top hats and do a little dance routine. (Vicki is 5th from the right.)
Day 137: Made Her Day
May 17
Each year every single staff member at the girls' school, from the principal down to the janitor, gives out a "golden ticket". This year Lexi was chosen by our wonderful secretary Miss Terri. It was truly a blessing, as Lexi had been feeling a little down recently. She's a good student, a hard worker, and a great kid, but it's a sad truth that sometimes kids like her get overlooked when teachers want to encourage the strugglers to do better. Add to that the fact that she's a middle child in the shadow of an academically outstanding big sister, and you have a girl who often feels unimportant and unnoticed. I will admit that I have been praying for months that she wouldn't be overlooked this time, and I fully believe that the Lord gives us gifts through the hands of others. And Miss Terri gave Lexi a wonderful gift today. She felt so special - what a great way to end her elementary school career!

Day 123: Bus Buddies
May 3
I went on a field trip with Ellie's class to OMSI. Last year parents weren't allowed to ride the school bus, but this year they let us on. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not, but it was an adventure, and I had a good time keeping track of five cute 1st and 2nd grade girls.

Day 108: Body Movement
April 18
Ellie's class is studying the human body, and they did this artwork to decorate the hallway.
Day 106: Recess
April 16
I happened to glance out the window from my desk at work and realized that it was my kid on top of the jungle gym.

Day 100: Crossing Guard Duty
April 10
I'm pretty sure I have another picture here that's very similar to this one, but since I do this every week, it was bound to happen.

Day 94: Line Up
April 4
Apparently, this is how kindergartners are supposed to line up at school. My favorite is the John Travolta kid on the left.

Day 77: Empty Traps
March 18
This morning I joined Ellie in her classroom to find out whether their leprechaun traps had been successful. Those pesky leprechauns escaped every single trap and trashed the entire classroom. Her teacher is awesome.
