so proud i could burst

she has reached another milestone. today was elementary school promotion. the ceremony was filled with songs, speeches, a band performance… everyone was so organized, they did a beautiful job. we completely adore our kid’s school. kira has had such a positive experience with her teachers and school staff- we are so proud of her. i can’t believe how quick those years went. it’s crazy. i can’t even explain how this day made me feel.. you find yourself picturing the future and remembering the past all in a matter of moments.. it’s unbelieveable. and just to know that you are a part of that.. that you get to witness the everyday of it all… i am so thankful.
throughout the ceremony- even the second i snapped this picture, i found my eyes welling up with tears and i feared that i would not be able to stop… that there was no way i could control myself, i was going to lose it and cry like a baby. i know i am a sap, but this really topped my list as one of the most proud moments. and it was only 5th grade. i am going to be a wreck at high school graduations, weddings, etc. (it’s late.. they are all tucked in bed… i am fully aware of how mushy this post is 🙂 )

  1. So what if it’s mushy? You’re her Mom, and you’re proud of her! I think it’s fantastic that you affirm your children in this way, and she seems like a pretty special young lady to me. It’s important to celebrate even the smallest milestone, so go for it!

  5. I just love reading about your emotions with your kids. I think it’s because I relate… and I can only imagine how I will feel when my kids go through the things that you share about (like elm. school graduation :)). you put those emotions, feelings, and memories into words SO well. it’s inspiring!! 🙂
