Goodbye school, and hello Summer! Lily finished 7th (weird knowing she's done at Northwest until high school). And Charley graduated 5th! While I don't feel ready for her to be in middle school, I am excited to see her next chapter. Briggs had an amazing year in first grade with Mrs. Person -- so thankful! and I am so excited the boys will be together next year. But for now... Happy Summer!
Lily had a wonderful dance recital. I'm so proud of her for pushing through a demanding year in dance and getting to enjoy the payoff of performing at the end.
We celebrated Grandma's birthday, enjoyed the beach for a few days with Grandma and Grandpa (first beach trip for Tanner!), and then we had a great trip to Atlantis at the end of the month -- a trip that has been on Hogan's bucket list for quite some time and we all loved.
