End of School Wrap Up

It is the end of yet another school year. With one graduating from HS this year, there have been a lot of school years ending!

Kayla is 17 and graduating on Wed. She is amazing. She has worked hard in school and is more than prepared for college. She has managed to pull in enough academic scholarship money to be able to attend Clemson this fall with no loans. Now that is an accomplishment! I have to say that it has been a lesson for me as well. She continued to do daily what she could, both academically and in service to a local after school program. She knows that we have made choices that have kept me home and Gary and I unable to provide much of a college fund. God has blessed her. Here is the evidence. (I consider it evidence rather than coincidence) I looked on line to get the estimated price tag on the year at Clemson and see where we stood with what she had in scholarship and gift from family. Total online estimated? 20,200 Total it looks like she will receive? 20,200! Now I realize that there will be added expenses... but how cool is that!

Noah recently turned 16 and is completing his sophomore year in HS. It has been one of those years that has combined the good the bad and the ugly. You know, a teenage year. He is a great kid with a tremendous future wide open for him. He has a passion for life and I cannot wait to see where he goes in life. He is not sure (ie. has no clue) what he wants to do long term, but is pretty sure he wants a soccer ball at his feet for as long as possible.

Mckenna just turned 10 and is finishing up 4th grade. She has had a GREAT year. She loved her teacher, had a good class and has all around enjoyed this year. Well, with the exception of having to get up early every day... She has developed a love of writing and is discovering her more creative side. Mckenna is a great combination of Kayla and Noah.

Ayden Jane has completed the 2's class. I have pretty well covered that, but I had to include the picture below. Mckenna took it at the end of year program for the school. That's our girl!
