Sydni graduated Kindergarten.. today. STOP IT. STOP IT. STAAAAAHP.
Already?!
syd & her class!
When I woke up and got ready this morning, it was hard for me to believe that I would have a first grader by the time the afternoon started. Rob and I met up with my parents at Sydni's school, followed eventually by Joe, his mom and Nikea.
We followed the crowd of parents and family outside [Sydni clearly had the biggest fan club], where Syd and her class had prepared this little number for us:
I mean... get outta here with all that cuteness!

The celebrating continued, family style:
her dad's side
my parents! [aka nana & pappy]
my world!

Syd's dad and mamaw had to leave, so that left us with my parents to enjoy the rest of family day and explore what Sydni's day looked like.
r: "what do you wanna do this summer?" s: "um..... boat. and swim. and play in the park!"
^^ Those two :) :) :).

Pappy, the patient observer:

The playground time came to an end, so we headed inside to show Syd's classroom to Nana, Pappy & Rob:

the "clip" system - i love this!
My heart was so happy today, watching Syd accept her certificate of kindergarten completion. As much as her dad and I have our differences, and likely always will, she looked so completed, and so content to have all of her close family there.. and that, really, is all I could've asked: for her to be this genuinely happy:
my heart.
After the celebration, we grabbed lunch with my parents, then headed off on our own to return to our day at work, while my parents spent a few more hours with Syd. They eventually dropped her back off at her dad's before heading back north themselves, completing their daytrip. I am so thankful for them and for their willingness to make that journey.
Work finished with a big meeting, which was a great thing [I'll fill those blanks in later; it's a lot], before I finally made my roundtrip back to Rob, rendezvousing with him at the gym.
AND, we wrestled a Pinterest recipe into submission for dinner tonight, and it was pretty daggone good:
turkey & sweet potato skillet!
nom nom nom!!!
Whewwwwww! What a day! Life is good. Life. IS. GOOD.
