Tonight my head and heart are full...tomorrow things are different. All the love and devotion that we have put into our little homeschool will end. A new chapter for us...as my daughter keeps lovingly reminding me...not and end, just a new chapter...with many more books to come.

The top two pictures are first day of school pictures that I found this week as I sorted through stacks of memories...the first one cracks us up...that was her favorite skirt...that little turquoise skirt. She wanted to wear it every day...I think she loved it because it was bouncy. When we began our school...I took our third bedroom and painted it that vibrant blue color and cream...I had found a sweet abc boarder that matched it beautiful...we lasted up there a year...and then found it easier to do our school work at the table. The second picture...I am pretty sure she was about 9 or 10. This picture was taken in our office...where we also tried to do school but ended up at the table...LOL. The last picture is our favorite picture taken this spring...we are calling it her "official" graduation picture.

She is still running a low grade fever...as soon as the sun began to set...her fever began to rise. Thank you for your prayers...if you could keep her in your prayers for tomorrow...I have a feeling she will be feeling pretty rough when it comes time to get dressed...we have to be at the center at 2 for rehearsal...and then they'll take a picture of all the graduates...Dennis will go and pick up my mom and bring her...the ceremony is at five. I don't feel excited...I have a rather large lump in my throat. I am hoping that it will go away by morning...

Off I go to get some sleep...an early day for me tomorrow and my fingers are crossed that we have a fever free girl.

Be Blessed!
