bittersweet

Friday was our last day of the school year... a sad but happy day. I can't even begin to describe how proud I am of my kids and how much I am going to miss them. It's crazy to think how much they grew up and how much they learned, and that I got to be a huge part of it! I never ever want to stop being a teacher.

The first week of school!

John! Secretly my favorite.

See? I'm not lying about how much fun it was.

On twin day, Lilly and Diego dressed up as old people... so cool!

Danny reading Henry and Beezus... at the beginning of the year, he couldn't even read! I cried when he told me his mom took him to Borders so he could buy this book.

When I would stay late to work, John would come and hang out with me. Look at his shirt! Such a boy.

Every time I said, "Get your whiteboards out," they cheered. Every time. It never got old to them.

They look so old now! And yes, Jeremiah (in the middle) has a hardcore mohawk. Bah, now that I think about it, they are all my favorites. I had the time of my life! The funny thing is I don't think they have any idea how much I loved this chapter of my life. It's gonna be hard to top this. Ok, time to stop before I start crying again.
