Memorial Day Weekend

My weekend started on Friday with one of my 4th grade students coming to me to ask if I would sign his shirt. He proceeded to tell me that he was not coming back to Beecher next year. He is going to a different school. He started crying and then told me that I was one of his favorite teachers at Beecher. I teared up and gave him a big hug. Moments like this keep you teaching. I told him that he would do great at his new school. He wanted to take his picture with me for his Beecher memory book:

Saturday we got up early and trucked it all the way to Waynesboro. Connor was great! She slept pretty much the whole way. I hope she becomes a good traveler just like her brother because we like to travel! Saturday night we went to Evans' graduation party. It was nice to be around Justin's family. MeMe kept Connor in her arms the whole time and and had a smile from ear to ear. Sunday was Evans' actual graduation. The weather was really bad but we decided to go anyway. We got dressed up and went to the high school. It was kind of a bummer because we had tickets but couldn't go in because there was a no child under 6 policy. I totally understand but it landed us in a classroom watching it on closed circuit television. Below is a picture of Connor watching Evans graduate with her daddy:

Today we headed back to Smyrna. Connor was beat from her big weekend but had just enough energy to fit a little smile in as MeMe was changing her diaper before we left:

In the car and almost asleep...
