Harper Lee's Piano Recital

I have been watching the videos Harper Lee has on our camera. I only wish the girl had more confidence in herself . . .

Another School Year Draws to a Close

We had Awards Day at Harper and Liv's school on Friday. I am so proud of both the girls and the year they have had. They are extremely easy to parent when it comes to school. Honestly, they both simply go to school and do what is expected of them. I am amazed at how much they have both learned and grown this year. And, I am so thankful that the girls had such wonderful, caring teachers this year. It will be hard to say good bye to both of them.

Harper was recognized at the awards ceremony for receiving straight A's, but more importantly her teacher tells me that she is a kind-hearted member of her class who shows love to the other kids in the class. I don't tell her nearly often enough how proud I am of her.

I struggled with guilt because Olivia's kindergarten experience was so different from Harper Lee's small private school kindergarten experience. However, Olivia had a wonderful teacher and I loved the short program we attended in her classroom on Friday. Mrs. Phillips had an award for each child and gave a short speech about what made that child special. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I had our camera set on the lowest resolution. I really hate that because the kids were so cute, and Liv even worked some dance moves when she got bored with her teacher's talking.








Since Harper Lee's awards were given as part of the school program, I don't have any video of that. Just a few pics.
