must have been how Abe Lincoln liked to learn too...

Here's my littlest sweetie heading off to school ...but it wasn't her first day as usual school photos depict. It was her last day of school for the year! The big girl was all ready to go, and gave hugs and kisses before heading off. (This is as close as I'll probably ever get to "sending her off." It was kind of a funny feeling, and I was thinking how thankful I am that I don't have to send my kids off every day for 9 months a year to be herded through a system, but we get to learn and live and love together every day!)

Here she is skipping and running to catch the school b..ranch!

Studying hard...
