Last Day of School Celebration!

The last day of school brings many celebrations each year for everyone and this year was no different.  Our family has been operating under a completely different set of circumstances for the past several weeks and so I wasn't sure how Friday would roll.  As I reported in the last blog, Grace was able to go to UP for her class visit and say goodbye to her friends and Cannon had a class party to end out his year.  I am thankful that not only did Cannon want me to come to his class party, but I was able to have care for Grace so that I could attend.  It was so fun getting to watch Cannon interact with his 6th grade friends, one last time.  He had such a great year this year!  When we left MIS on Friday, he turned to me and told me he was going to miss his friends and his teachers, something he hasn't said in years....I think this is a true testament to the incredible teachers he has had this year!  Thank you Ms. Taliaferro, Mrs. Melson, Mrs. Almarez, and Mrs. Dahlberg and thank you Dr. Pool for keeping an eye on him for me!!!

Another end of school tradition in our family is to go to Benihana to celebrate the end of the school year with our sweet friends, the Bushes.  We are so thankful that this is a tradition that Grace was able to participate in on Friday!!!  As you can see from the pictures, the kids had so much fun!  We had a good night of laughter and good times and are so thankful that Grace felt good enough to be able to go!

 

Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray for complete healing.  Throughout the weekend, Grace has been having a lot of bladder pain and she is having to take pain medicine again.  We would love your prayers surrounding this.

Love,

Carrie
