As the song goes, “Every new beginning is some other beginning's end…”.  Lynnea finished up elementary school in June and is now enjoying her first day in middle school as a big fifth grader.  Where I grew up, middle school started in the sixth grade, but I understand it varies by district.  We were very happy to be able to place Lynnea at the Arts Academy, and I'm sure it will be just the sort of environment she will love and thrive in.

It was a bit of a weepy goodbye in the auditorium, but she found an old friend, and soon was chatting away.  I'm sure within a few minutes of our leaving she had more than enough to keep her mind occupied, and I'm sure she'll love the place before long.  I'll have to call home at the end of the day and see how she did.  Can't believe how much she has grown… she'll bee a teenager in no time at all.

Anyway, congratulations Lynnea, my big girl.  Mom and Dad love you!
